FAQs

How will I access the conference sessions and events? A few days before the conference you will receive an email invitation with a link. When you click the link, you will be asked to enter the name and email you registered with. Then an access code will be texted and emailed to you. Once you enter that code, you will have access to the Conference hub. From there you can make plans for which sessions you would like to attend by adding sessions to your schedule or you can get on the hub the day of and join just as things are happening!

Will sessions be recorded?

All sessions will be recorded and provided to all registrants on the conference website following the conclusion of the conference.

Is there an age limit to attend the conference? There is no age limit to attend the conference - in fact, we encourage people of all ages to attend, including youth participants.
