Log in

Download the app to your device. Make sure you already have a ticket to log in. If you previously created a password, you can just type in your email and password, and you're in! If not, you'll need to click a link in your email or create a password to log in.

Log in Without a Password

After registering for the event, you should receive an order confirmation email. Just click the Join Event button from that email when the event opens! And that's it! You'll be redirected to the attendee app (if it's already on your phone) and log in automatically without entering your email address or password.

Important Note for iPhone Users

Clicking the link or button from your iPhone's built-in mail app inbox will automatically log you into the attendee app.

Clicking the link or button from other email apps, like Gmail or Outlook apps on your iPhone, will not automatically log you into the app. Instead, it will redirect to your mobile's browser, so you may need to create a password to log in to the app.

When you log in, the first page you'll see is the list of events and your profile icon in the upper right corner. The event shown on top is the latest. It will show the event name, date, and status. Click one of the events to see the event landing page.
