title, and company.
Update – Check In to share comments, photos and which session(s) you are attending.
Attendees – See who is at the conference and connect with them through the Mobile App.
Activity Feed – Keep your finger on the pulse of the conference. See what people are doing,
view photos from the event, find trending sessions and topics, and “like” or comment on other
attendees’ check-ins. This is really where you find out what is going on at FOCUS 14.
Agenda – View the event’s entire agenda (by day or the entire conference). If you have pre-set
your agenda already (part of the registration site), you will see it within the App via the My
Schedule icon since we have integrated the two sites.
Speakers – Get an alphabetical listing by last name of all the FOCUS 14 speakers with their
company and job title as well as a list of the sessions each speaker will be presenting. You can
also rate each speaker from 1-5 stars and provide comments.
Sponsors – Find an alphabetical listing of all the FOCUS 14 sponsors along with their
sponsorship level, booth number, company description, and website (including social media
sites). You can even locate them on the interactive Expo Floor Plan. You can also complete a
short survey to provide your feedback on each sponsor (not viewable by other attendees) or
rate sponsors from 1-5 stars and provide comments
Product Section – This is an alphabetical listing of all the products that will be referenced
during the event in the various sessions.
Photo Feed – Check out all the photos taken by attendees during the conference listed by day
and if you click on a photo, you will see the associated comments and can make comments of
your own and/or “like”.
Surveys – The surveys listed here are applicable to the FOCUS 14 conference in general and
your survey feedback is confidential and not viewable by other attendees. Individual surveys
can only be completed once and will then be listed under “Completed Surveys”. These may be
multiple choice and/or comments. Surveys for the breakout/deep dive sessions are only
accessible by registered attendees and can be accessed in the My Schedule session. Be sure
to get scanned at the door for each session in order to be eligible to complete the associated
survey.
Badges – When you first access this area you will see a number of different badges listed as
locked. Click on each badge to find out how to unlock each badge and earn points.
Careers - We’ve created a spot where you can link directly to the career pages of each of our
sponsors - a quick and easy way to find out what job opportunities are available within the
security industry.

your planned agenda for each day. If you have any trouble finding your way, don’t worry. There
will be easily recognizable FOCUS 14 staff throughout the congress center to help you with any
questions you have.

What is ‘Checking In’?
‘Checking in’ is a great way for you to share your event experience both with fellow attendees
as well as with the FOCUS Speakers, Sponsors and McAfee Employees.
From the main landing page of the Mobile App (the Activity Feed) tap the Pencil icon in the top
right corner to access the Status Update menu.
Check-Ins made by you and your fellow attendees will show in the Mobile App’s Activity Feed,
where you see what’s trending at the event. Check in to the sessions you’re attending, speakers
you’re listening to, and exhibitors’ booths you’re visiting! Including photos and comments in
your Check-Ins is a great way to showcase your experience and provide valuable feedback.
When posting a status update there are a few things you can do. First, you will want to add text
to your post to tell us what you’re doing. If you have a photo to go along with your post, be sure
to add it here by selecting the camera icon. If your post is about something in the event like a
session or speaker, chances are you will want to associate your post with the item you’re talking
about, which you can do by tapping the hash symbol and selecting the item. The FOCUS 14
App has social media connections with Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, which allows you to push
your updates out to those social media channels.
And of course you will earn points for these actions, too!
