The Virtual Binder & General Convention app
General Convention is paperless - all convention documents are provided to bishops and deputies via an iPad and app called the Virtual Binder. It is updated in real time and you can access it online here. It will allow you to track the progress of resolutions, check calendars, schedules and other useful material. There's also a free app for iOS and Android that will allow you to access the Virtual Binder on a mobile device. Get more info on the Virtual Binder and app here.
