It could be nice to add an About screen to the app that displays:

Fetching this data would also allow for the app to retrieve the start and end dates of the conference and use those throughout the app instead of the currently hardcoded Day enum. :grimacing:

Didn't get to it. Wasn't sure about the design of this screen, so I omitted it for 2016. Up for revisiting another time, though!
