Download the App

Download the app to your device. The attendee app is now available for download for iOS and Android users. It has many useful functions for both in-person and virtual attendees.


Magic Link Log In

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 can click a link in your email to log in without a password.

Sending a Magic Link to yourself is the easiest and fastest way to log in.

After downloading the app, enter your attendee email address, click Continue with Email, and click Send magic link. Once you get the email, click the link to log in to the app. That's it! Event admins can also send you the magic link email.


My Events Page

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

Ticket & QR Code

You should also see a ticket icon on the event card. When you click that, you should see your QR code and other information about your ticket. You can show the QR code to event staff to check in to the in-person event and sessions and show it to exhibitors to share your personal information.

Notes:

  • If you have several tickets for the event, you can swipe to the left to see the rest.

  • Sometimes, the My Events page is skipped depending on what link from your email you clicked to log in; sometimes, you will be redirected to the event's landing page.
