Event Maps for CHI2010 Event Maps is a rich internet application intended to help people browse/organize/collaborate on multi-track conference events. Event Maps is brought to you by IBM Research - Watson and is being deployed for CHI 2010 attendees to help refine the system and provide an attendee benefit. Using Event Maps, you can browse, search and navigate the sessions of a conference via a zoommable interface. If you log in, you will be able to mark sessions of interest as favorites, export favorites, make comments, view the comments of others, and see the popularity of sessions according to favorite counts. Event Maps is an accepted Work In Progress for CHI 2010 and this "live demo" of the system is being provided as an adjunct to their poster.
