The Square Dance Conventions app provides a handy tool to access information about the convention, including schedules, convention locations, nearby businesses, and info about dance leaders and presenters.
Having access to the complete dance schedule allows you to pick and choose events to create your own personal dance schedule. And unlike printed program books or posted schedules, last minute schedule updates can be pushed out to your phone.
This is a FREE mobile app for conventions that use the NCOS software for scheduling and/or registration. While you're looking at this page now because you're interested in the upcoming state convention, this app works with any present or future convention using the noted NCOS software.
Our thanks go to WI caller Barry Johnson who has provided this app for our use.
