Nope! The event runs on a conference platform called whova. You can login via any browser on your desktop (we recommend Google Chrome) and you can also download the app on your mobile device.

I missed some sessions, how can I watch later?
All live sessions are recorded. The recordings will be available to watch the same day the session was schedule, posted later that evening.

you have access to the conference for 60 days. The conference platform will be closed on April 8, 2022. You will use your same login to access. Remember you can re-watch sessions, take quizzes, download handouts, and still ask presenters questions anytime within this 60 day period.
