Not user friendly – AWS Events Review

I recommend having a UX team review and redesign the flow of the App and the re:Invent site. Search, scheduling and calendar of events are completely counterintuitive. I shouldn’t have to click into an event to find the date/time of the event, then click on adding it to my itinerary to learn it is full or learn it’s in conflict with my agenda. Stop using 15m increments on the calendar; they are sized like 30m blocks just like Outlook but it’s 15m and makes the user have to look more closely instead of getting the info they want at a glance. Have the calendar actually scroll to the current time instead of making me have to scroll and find it every time, it goes to the current day which is good, just go to the current time as well. Searching the catalogue is horrendous. For all of your wonderful products, how could this be so awful? Use proper tagging and indexing to make it easier to find what you want. On the results, put the ost important I formation first (DATE/TIME, Session name, short description, badging or indication if it’s full, maybe host, and a single click to add to itinerary or interests), then allow me to click in for more info if I want it. Using the app and site takes too long, isn’t very helpful and generally frustrating overall that basic human interaction hasn’t been considered.
