United States Eventing Association

Get Ready for the 2018 USEA Annual Meeting & Convention with the USEA Convention App!

The 2018 United States Eventing Association (USEA) Annual Meeting & Convention featuring the USEA’s Eventing Hall of Fame kicks off in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel, December 6-9, 2018. The USEA staff have been hard at work the last few months lining up a variety of educational and informative sessions and meetings for this year’s Convention, covering all sorts of topics from course design and how to become an official to conditioning for the equine athlete and the latest in safety technology.

This year, the USEA is putting the USEA Convention App to good use as your one-stop shop for all the information you need to know as a Convention attendee. Convention goers can download the app for iOS and Android devices or interface with the app directly through their web browser to access the most up-to-date information, including the complete Convention schedule, synopses of the sessions, and speaker biographies and photos.

You’ll be able to plan each day at the USEA Convention by “favoriting” the meetings you’d like to attend; this will create your own personalized Convention agenda. Plus, the app will send notifications to your phone to let you know where to be and when to be there! The different sessions are organized into three tracks: Events, Eventers, and USEA.

We also invite you to rank the different sessions you attend at Convention using the handy rating system built directly into the app. This valuable feedback will better help us plan for next year’s Convention. Plus, don’t forget to check out the Convention sponsors and the exhibitors who will be on site in the Trade Fair.

The app offers a news section, so you won’t miss any important announcements, and you can share your social media posts through the app using #USEAConvention and #EventingHOF. Your posts might also be shared on the USEA social media! Check out the handy video below to see how to download and navigate within the app.
