Sessions

Sessions are a great way to continue education and network with other attendees.

While every event site differs, we hope to guide you through what you can expect on the Sessions page or visit our FAQ's*.

1. Begin by selecting Sessions, typically* located within My Planner. 
   • This page may* also be available on the event site under the Conference section.
2. Should you choose not to log in, a temporary cookie will be left on your device or in your browser to save your favorites when you return.
3. If you do log in, the system will keep a permanent record of the sessions you saved and will allow you to access your My Sessions tab from any other device you log in to.

5. The Sessions tab is a full list of all sessions available at the event. 
   • Search sessions by keyword, date or through the advanced search tab.

7. The My Sessions tab is all of your favorited sessions (all stars will be highlighted).
   • Please be aware that favoriting sessions allows you to have a list of favorites exportable to your device calendar. This typically does not mean you are registered for them. To register, contact your event directly.  
     
     
     
     
8. Print or Export Sessions to your calendar by clicking the print or export button in the upper right hand corner of the page.

9. Should a session have a handout file available, it will appear within the Handouts section of the session details page, accessed once you click into the name of the session.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: The handout or PDF in one of the event sessions is blank, who should I contact?

A: Contact the event management team directly so they may contact the session speaker for an updated PDF file. 

Q: Will my favorites register me for the session? I have registered for Sessions and they are not in my favorites, what happened?

A: Favoriting and event registration companies are separate features and companies. To favorite a session, click the star to highlight it and add to My Sessions. To register, contact registration directly. To see if you need to register, contact the show management team directly. 

Q: Do you handle Registration?

A: Session Registration is not handled by Personify A2Z Events.

Q: I registered for Sessions and they are not appearing in My Sessions. 

A: Registration is a separate entity. Registration data is not sent to us and therefore does not auto-populate your favorites list under My Sessions. Instead, you may go to the Sessions page and favorite those you plan to attend or are interested in and view them under My Sessions or export them to your calendar.
