How do I access the sessions?

You should have received a confirmation email with detailed instructions directing you to the virtual platform login area.

Alternatively, you can access any of the sessions by logging in and clicking “Schedule” in the top menu bar. From there, select the conference day you would like to view, click your desired title and then press the “Watch Session” button. You will be able to access the session 5 minutes prior to its start time.

Will I be able to view the recorded archive of live summit sessions?

Registrants will have access to all summit sessions 3-5 business days after the conference concludes. Accessing them will be the same as logging in for live programs on the virtual platform, but you can view them at your convenience.

If you are not able to hear any audio through your computer speakers, first check to make sure your speakers are not muted or turned off.
