Apps for Conferences

I am attending Connect 2013 tomorrow in Niagara Falls, ON., and am looking forward to learning and networking. This will be the first conference I attend with my iPad, and I'd like to make sure I use it to its full ability. What is important at a conference? Taking notes, networking, gathering information and staying connected. I have done a little research and read some reviews, so here is my list of must have apps for any education conference:

Scans business cards and connects with LinkedIn
I am also debating using a mind mapping app, and am trying to decide between  http://www.inspiration.com/ipad and http://www.ithoughts.co.uk/iThoughtsHD/Welcome.html
. I used Blogsy to create this post, still learning the ropes. I have attempted to link images but am not sure how yet. Very cool app so far. My guess is it can do way more than I know as of yet. There are excellent how-to videos on the website which I will have to look at more closely.
Looking forward to tomorrow and testing out my new apps!
