If you want your participants to sit up and pay attention, give them some gum. Yup, it seems that there’s some recent research that suggests chewing gum helps make you more attentive and perform better on tests. Unfortunately, the boost in brain power only lasts 20 minutes, but still, maybe it’s time to replace those little dishes of mints and hard candies with sugarless gum?
Google Maps is bringing its helpful blue dot indoors, so you’ll be able to figure out where you are relative to where you want to go inside as well as out. While it looks like it just has some major airports and shopping areas mapped out as of now, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before you can use it at New Orleans’ Morial Convention Center, or even better, Gaylord Opryland. Though with more conference organizers including interactive maps in their show apps, maybe this will be not quite so needed by the time Google gets around to major convention sites?
