FAQs

  • Question: Why do I have to pre-register for sessions?
    • Answer: We ask that you pre-register for sessions to allow presenters to have an accurate headcount for their sessions. Many presenters tailor their sessions for the amount of registered attendees. It also ensures that they will have sufficient materials.

    • Answer: Yes, you can switch sessions after you have registered. To modify your registration, please click the "Already Registered?" button at the bottom of any conference website page to log in. You will need to enter your email address and password you set up during registration to modify your registration. If you do not remember your registration password, please Reset your password here.

  • Question: Do I need to download anything to access my sessions?

  • Question: Will I be on video?
    • Answer: You will not have the ability to turn your camera on or unmute yourself during the main sessions. The annual business meeting will have the ability for you to turn your camera on, however. That being said, we'll be taking all questions and conversation from the chat box. Leaving your video off may help not only your connection, but make the session run more smoothly for everyone.
