Step 1: Check In and Create Account
All who registered should have received an email with your log-in username, and directions to create a password. The event site will require you to create an eight character password containing at least one capital letter, one lowercase letter, and a number.
Once finished, you should receive an email confirmation that your account has been successfully created, and you should be able to view session and presenter information on the event website. When you return to this site during the event, you may need to sign in again, so don’t loose your username and password.
Step 2: Download and Test the Zoom Application
Our event platform will be using Zoom for all live sessions.
A big part of being ready for a virtual conference is making sure that you’re good to go from a tech perspective, so please complete the next steps from the computer you’re going to be joining the conference from, not your smart phone.
To make certain you can join without issues on June 7, please make sure you have the most updated version of Zoom installed on your device.
This link will show you where and how to update the Zoom application.
When you have that device, click the “Test Zoom” button below and make sure you can get connected and activate your webcam and microphone.
Step 3: Test Ability to View Embedded Videos
Our event platform will be using the video host BoxCast to embed other videos within the site.
Some firewalls block embedded content on webpages. Please make sure you can see the example video embedded on this page here.
Can you see this video? If so, no further action is needed on your behalf. If you cannot see a video, or if the section above this paragraph seems blank, please reach out to your IT administrators to see if they can unlock embedded videos from this site. If they need assistance, you can contact our event support team using the Help Desk item in the navigation menu.
Step 4: Site Navigation
To join a session from the schedule grid, you will need to click on the session title.
Next, click on the “JOIN SESSION” button to launch the Zoom application.
PLEASE NOTE watch links for the breakout sessions will not work until 15 minutes prior to the scheduled session start time.
