To join sessions through your phone or tablet, you can now download the Accelevents Attendee App, which is available for iOS and Android users.
If the event is already open when you log in to the app, click the agenda button from the bottom menu to join sessions. Depending on the type of event, you'll see a Join Session button or View Details button when the session is live. Below you'll learn what to expect when joining a session.
Notes:
The Join Session or View Details button for the session will only show Main Stage, Regular, Workshop, and "Break" sessions. If it's a Networking session, Expo or Other, these button won't appear.
For workshops, the video broadcast will not show. Attendees can only join the chat, Q&A, and polls.
Please ensure you install the latest app version to see the latest updates.
As an event admin, you can enter sessions through the app before the session starts.
Locate the Sessions in the Attendee App
If the event is already open, you will be redirected to the event's lobby when you log in to the attendee app. From there click the Agenda to see the list of sessions with the basic session information including the session name, session type, schedule and location for in person sessions.
You'll also see indicators whether the session has ended, if it's live and if it's happening soon. You may also see a button for "Save a seat" if it's a future session. When you save the session, the session will be added to "My Schedule" in the agenda.
See the Session Information
When you click a session, it will open a page where it will show more session information, such as the description, speakers, and associated tags and tracks. At the bottom you'll see a button depending on the session schedule and the event type that will allow you to reserve a seat for the session, watch the session video broadcast, or join the chat and other sessions activities.
🔵 Future Session Button
"Save a Seat" for Future Sessions
If it's a future session the "Save a seat" button will show if that feature is enabled. When you save the session, the session will be added to "My Schedule" in the agenda. If this feature is not enabled, then you won't see any button at the bottom until the session opens.
Notes:
As an admin, you won't see the save a seat option on that page because you can enter sessions even before they open. So you will see the Join Session or View Details button.
Save a seat will appear for any type of session, including break, other and expo.
🔴 Live Session Buttons
"Join Session" for Live Sessions for Virtual and Hybrid Events
The "Join Session" button will appear when the session is live and it's a virtual or hybrid event. After you click the button, it will show you the live session's video broadcast.
Note: If it's a Networking session, Expo or Other, the button won't appear.
Below the video, you'll see 2 tabs.
Details | Activity |
The Details tab will have the session description, the list of speakers for the session, sponsoring companies, downloadable documents, and links. | The Activity tab is where you can participate in the chat, see the list of attendees who joined the sessions, answer polls, and ask questions. |

"View Details" for Live Sessions for In-person Events
If the event is in person, instead of seeing a "Join Session" button, you'll see a "View Details" button. When you click that, it will show you all the same information found in the Details tab in a virtual session. On top, if you click Activity, you'll be able to join the chat, Q&A, polls, and survey. Since this is an in-person event, a video broadcast will not show in the session.
Note: If it's a Networking session, Expo or Other, these button won't appear.
⚪ Past Session Buttons
"View Recording" for Past Sessions for Virtual and Hybrid Events
To look for a past session in the app, go to the Agenda and go to the particular date to see the session or you can use the filter to show past sessions while viewing all dates. If the session has a recording, then the "View Recording" button will show.
"View Details" for Past Sessions for In-person Events
If the event is in-person, there wouldn't be a recording for past sessions, so what you'll see is still the "View Details" button, same as when the session was live.
