Today's DAR
The Congress App is Coming Soon
We are excited to announce that this June we will be launching the official DAR Continental Congress mobile app! The Congress App will be available for free download to your phone or tablet.
The Congress App will feature the detailed schedule of events that is found in the official Congress Program you receive at registration. The app version of the schedule will be easily accessible to view and search on your mobile device. You will even be able to create your own personalized schedule of events that you plan to attend to help keep you organized during the week. Additionally, the app will provide maps and other information to help you get around. With a click of a button, members can also easily access the Congress Herald each morning on their mobile device via the app. An alert system is also part of the app so messages can be sent via the app to your phone to let you know of any important, timely updates.
We are very excited for the opportunity to offer Congress attendees this new tool and we think it will be very helpful during Congress week. More information will be available soon so check the Members’ Website for updates and future downloading instructions!
