(PT) on Saturday, February 22.
How do I access the virtual side of the hybrid event?
You will be able to navigate the conference using the Whova virtual conference platform, particularly the "agenda" feature. Clicking into each individual agenda item will give you access to the session details (e.g. description, speaker information, room location), any available handout material, and the link to access the Zoom stream (and later the recording).
Using the same e-mail you used to register for the conference and at which you will receive an invitation to join the event directly from Whova, you will create an account and have access to this event. You will only be able to access the conference using this e-mail address so be sure that you are accessing Whova using that e-mail address only. If you are being asked for an access code, you are not using Whova with the email address we have on file. You should create a new account using the email address to which your invitation was sent. Or, we can change your Whova invitation to match the email address you are using in the app.
For attendees in San Francisco, Whova is how you will view the schedule, plan your days, view materials, and otherwise navigate the event onsite. There will be no hard copy programs provided.
For our virtual attendees, this is how you will plan your agenda, access the live streaming conference sessions from your laptop or computer, download materials, etc.
It is recommended that you also download the free Whova mobile app to access more networking features and to receive text reminders and announcements during the conference. This is especially recommended for those attending live in San Francisco.
For additional information on accessing both the web and app platforms, and tips on how to use Whova to plan your schedule, utilize social networking and more, please see the Whova Attendee User Guide
