Creating a schedule will update your registration, so you have an accurate record of the sessions you attended should you need it for license renewal or if you are ever audited by your state licensing board. It also allows you to submit feedback for the sessions you attend.

IMPORTANT: You must add/remove sessions to/from your schedule BEFORE its end time. The app will not allow you to change a session or event that has already passed.

Note: Can't find a session that's listed in the program? Check the updates page to see if the session changed. If not, please contact us to let us know which session(s) are missing.

In the Mobile App

After logging in, tap the calendar icon in the bottom bar to open the event schedule. Under the "All Sessions" tab, tap the plus sign next to any session to add it to your agenda. Tap the checkmark to un-register yourself.

On the Website

After logging in, click on "Schedule" in the top blue bar, then on "All Sessions." Click the "Add" button next to the session(s) you would like to add to your schedule or "Remove" to un-register yourself.

You may not be able to edit your session selections in the following circumstances:

• The session has ended. To maintain accurate registration and participation data, attendees cannot remove a session from their schedule once its end date and time has passed.
• The session is part of a track. The software treats complete tracks as a "package deal." If you registered for complete tracks during registration (rather than individual sessions), you will not be able to remove them from the mobile app. You can only remove tracks by logging in and modifying your original registration. For step-by-step instructions, please refer to the Changes, Cancellations & Transfer FAQs.
• The event is full. For events that have a set capacity, you will not be able to add it to your schedule if that capacity has been reached.
• The event requires an additional fee. You cannot register for a lab within the app or Attendee Hub website. Please see your confirmation email for instructions on modifying your registration.
• Registration type doesn't match. Some sessions/events are only open to certain attendees. For example, non-OVMA members cannot register for a members-only event.

Note: Can't find a session that's listed in the program? Check the updates page to see if the session changed. If not, please contact us to let us know which session(s) are missing.

In order to view attached documents, you must be registered for the session (i.e., it appears on your schedule). Once you have added the session, follow these steps:

• Open the session and scroll down to the speaker section.
• All documents they provided for that particular session will be listed in the "Attachments" section. Simply tap to open and view/download the files.

This could be due to either of the following:

• If no attachments are listed on the session page: The speaker did not provide documents for the session you're viewing, or
• If attachments are listed, but you cannot tap on/open them: You are not registered for the session. Simply add the session to your schedule prior to the end date/time to view accompanying documents.

The attendee list is the networking portal on the MVC Mobile App and Virtual Platform. From the list, you can see who else is attending the event and view their profiles*. You can also browse colleagues whose interests are similar to yours, based on the sessions you've both registered for.

In the Mobile App

• From the home page, tap the Attendee Networking quick link underneath the MVC logo. (You may have to scroll left or right to find it.)

  • Click the three dots to either send them a message or view their profile
• You can view attendees you've connected with and respond to requests via your Profile under the Connections tab.

This feature is for cross-event networking. If you have connected with someone at one event, you'll be able to see if they are in attendance at another event, provided they use the same email in their registration.

Discussion boards are text-based "chat rooms" where attendees can converse with one another on various topics. To view the available discussion boards, tap the Community icon in the bottom bar, then scroll to the discussion section. Simply find one that interests you, tap on it, and type in your message!

The Mobile App Game is a fun, in-app competition wherein attendees complete challenges to earn points. The top point earners at the end of the live MVC will win a prize!

After logging in to the app, tap on the game icon on the home screen and then tap on Join Game. You will earn points only while the game is live (Feb. 22–24). Some actions you take in the app will earn you automatic points (such as opening session documents or viewing an exhibitor), while others will require you to complete an action (such as scanning a QR code in an exhibitor's booth). As you earn points, you will earn badges and climb the leaderboard. The highest point earners will be awarded a prize!

Any registrant can log in and play the game, but only attendees can win. (Exhibitors are not eligible for prizes.)

• The game is open to in-person attendees only.
• You must have a compatible device running iOS 14+ or Android 10+ in order to play.
• Participants must be respectful of other attendees. No discriminatory, violent, illegal, etc. content will be tolerated.

You can earn the Exhibit Hall Explorer badge by visiting each of the companies shown and scanning a QR code in their booth! Here's how to claim your points:

1. Open the game and tap on the Exhibit Hall Explorer badge.
2. Find the challenge for the company whose booth you're visiting and tap on it.
3. Tap on "Scan QR Code" and take a picture of the booth's designated QR code.
4. Alternatively, you can tap on "Enter Code Manually" to type in the text version of the code.
5. All claim codes must be scanned/entered by the end of the the day on Saturday, Feb. 24, to earn your points.

The two attendees at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the game will win, so keep an eye on your stats! In the event of a tie, winners will be selected randomly from the pool of top point earners. We will notify winners via email a few days after the MVC concludes.

There are two ways you can complete session surveys:

1. Open the session you'd like to rate, then scroll down to the bottom and tap on "Survey."
2. Tap the Take Survey button on the app home screen to view all surveys available to you. Tap on each session you would like to rate, provide your comments, and submit!

Note: Session surveys open at their scheduled start time.

Tap the Take Survey button on the app home screen to view and complete the MVC survey. The conference survey will be available beginning on Thursday at 12 p.m.
