The 2014 Annual Gathering of American Mensa is to be held July 2-6, 2014 in Boston at the Sheraton Boston hotel (which sold out soon after the previous year's AG, leading attendees to look for overflow hotels or rooms opening up due to cancellations).

This year's AG had its own app (for iOS and Android devices), produced by an external vendor, released less than a week from the start of the gathering. (Search for "Mensa AG 2014" in the App Store or Google Play Store.)
