As an attendee, you will need to register or sign up for the event and get a hold of a ticket to enter the event. Even if the event is free, you still need to be a ticket bearer to attend the event.
If you already have a ticket and are ready to enter the event, follow these two easy steps:
Open your order confirmation email
Click the Join Event button
Once you've entered the event, you can start participating in the activities. Below, you'll be able to learn the steps from beginning to end to join an event.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Chrome is the preferred browser for accessing the event page, virtual event hub, and backstage studio link. However, Safari might work better when using an iPhone or iPad.
As a default, you can only enter the event 30 minutes before it starts, but event organizers may adjust it to an earlier time. You'll know if you can enter the event if you see the "Enter Event" button on the event page.
You don't need a password to enter the event as long as you click the Join Event button from your order confirmation email or the Magic Link you received in your email.
