The evaluation card on Resources now opens the form as soon as the evaluation is open.

The convention evaluation opens in your browser, already signed in, and unlocks your certificate of participation — the real one, ready to download and share. And once the organisers turn it on, your own recap of SUGBU 2026 plays the next time you open the app, with a card made for your story.

App optimizations.

Fixes, and a calmer sponsor directory. • The sponsor directory no longer closes the app while you scroll it. • "Select my session" now opens the session picker, instead of sending you back to the first setup step. • Sponsors are grouped by partnership level, and the logos are easier to make out. • If we cannot sign you in yet, the app tells you why in plain words instead of showing an error code. • The prompt to pick your concurrent session no longer piles up when you come back to Schedule. • Your certificate and evaluation screens now match the rest of the app, and read more clearly while they are still locked. • The sign-in screen no longer crowds its own button when the keyboard is open. • We ask what you think of the app at better moments, and stop asking the moment you tell us.

Session materials, and a clearer schedule. • Materials are here. The papers, slides and photos from a session now appear under Resources — whose session they came from, which speaker, and how big the file is before you open it. • Materials from a session you registered for are yours. Anything from a plenary or a ceremony is there for everyone, because everyone was in the room. • The filter row above them shows the categories the convention set up — including ones nothing has landed in yet — so a new kind of material appears without waiting for an app update. When nothing at all has been published, there are no buttons pretending otherwise. • Session descriptions and speaker biographies are easier to read. They were justified, which stretched the gaps between words on a narrow screen; they now sit flush left with even word spacing. • A session's badge can now be corrected by the convention without a new version of the app, so a plenary that was listed as a concurrent track reads correctly.

Your current session on the Lock Screen, the souvenir guide in your pocket, and a clearer app throughout. • Live Activities on iPhone: the session you are in appears on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and updates as the day moves. Tap it to open that session. Needs iOS 16.2 or later; the convention can switch it on and off. • Your sponsor passport also rides on the Lock Screen, counting booths as you chart them. • The souvenir guide — the programme, speakers and sponsors in one PDF — is now in Resources, ready to open the moment the convention publishes it. • Resources now leads with what you can actually do today, and the materials list sits higher up the screen. • Concurrent sessions: the one you chose at registration is marked as yours, and the others no longer offer a Save button they were never meant to have. • A session can now carry the convention's own link — a sign-up form, a paper, a handout — right on its card. • Easier to read: better contrast on buttons, headings and form hints across the app, and your certificate's reference number, dates and venue are legible at last, on screen and in the PDF you print. • Every screen's back control now says "Back" instead of showing a bare arrow. • Removing a notification asks first, and can be done with a button rather than a swipe. • Pick your concurrent session in the app. Every track you still owe a seat in is on one screen, with the room, the time and how many seats are left — no trip to the registration site, and no password that probably belongs to whoever registered you. • Passport: each day lists the meals that day actually serves, each meal card says which room it is in, and the booth tally no longer crowds the title. • Saving a session is honest about what it is: where the seat is the organisers' to give, the app says so rather than offering a Save that only bookmarks. • Home's Quick Access tiles each say what they are, and the four line up. • A redesigned first launch, with the convention's own constellation charting your progress through it — and that same sky now carries unbroken from the splash into the app rather than restarting at every screen.

A friendlier, easier-to-read SUGBU 2026 ahead of the convention. • Bigger, clearer text on every screen, with a warmer, more conversational tone throughout. • Smoother animations and skeleton loading, so screens settle into place instead of spinning. • Redesigned Schedule and session details, Badge, Passport, Photo Wall, More, Help and the set-up steps after sign-in. • Tap any tab to return to the top of that screen; your schedule, passport and photos refresh as you switch. • Passport: sponsor booths and meals are easier to read, your star map sparkles as you chart booths, and the share poster has a new look. • Photo Wall: save any photo, report one, or delete your own, right from the full-screen view. • Help now shows the convention's own questions and answers and the secretariat's contact details. • Notifications open the screen they are about. • Sponsors are listed in the order the convention sets. • If your session expires, the app signs you out cleanly and brings you back to sign-in. • The Badge, Passport and Photos tabs show a clearer preview of what you get when you sign in. • After sign-in, the app shows what it is fetching and lights a star as each part is ready. • An empty passport tells you how your first star gets charted. • Home's countdown reads in plain words, and convention days count from one everywhere. • Meals show a gold star seal once claimed, with the claim time. • The CEAP story on the Photo Wall now comes from the convention team, with the built-in welcome poster as the fallback. Unwatched stories come first. • Tapping your avatar opens your profile directly. The day badge appears only during the convention. • Signing in from the email link goes through the setting-up screen like every other sign-in, and the bell waits until you are signed in. • Each day's program is listed by clock time. • iPhones now register for push notifications. • Many smaller fixes to sign-in, polls, reminders and first-launch onboarding.
