VIRTUAL EVENT INFORMATION
| When will I have access to the virtual event platform and how do I login? |
| After registering and shortly before the live virtual conference, you'll receive an email with instructions to access the virtual event platform at https://www.engagez.net/leadingageiowa. The venue will open at 11 a.m. CST on Monday, May 3. Opening the venue early will allow you to click around and become familiar with Virtual Conference platform. Check our website closer to the event dates for informational videos and previews of what you can expect so you’ll be ready to engage and explore in this new virtual experience! |
| Which devices are best to use during the virtual experience? Which browser and what kind of WiFi connection? |
|
We recommend a laptop or desktop computer for the best virtual experience. Google Chrome and Microsoft FireFox are the preferred browsers. If you do not already have one of these, you can download Chrome or Firefox for free. Do NOT use Internet Explorer or Safari browsers, as these will cause technical issues.
Be sure to maximize your screen window and avoid heavy use of your internet connection such as streaming movies or having multiple applications open at the same time. A download speed of at least 3 Mbps is recommended. You can test your connection speed for free.
|
| Can I share my login with another colleague? |
| Each individual must register and pay separately to access the virtual event platform from an individual computer. Your user email/login can only be signed in one device at the same time. If a second user attempts the same email on another device they will not be able to login. |
| Will there be technical support during the virtual event? |
| Yes, there will be a technical support chat icon in the lower right corner of the virtual event platform. |
| If I have a question or am looking for something happening during the virtual event, who do I ask? |
| There will be an area in the lobby of the virtual event platform where LeadingAge Iowa staff will be on hand to answer your question. A Help button will be located in the navigation bar as well. |
| Will content be available on-demand to access later? For how long? |
| Yes. All registered attendees will have access to the platform and breakout session content during the on-demand period after the live virtual experience until July 31, 2021. Registrants will also be able to continue contacting other attendees, exhibitors and sponsors. |
EDUCATION/CE CREDITS
| When will education program content be posted? |
Education program descriptions are available on the website. There is no need to select sessions during registration; you can pick and choose sessions and events you’d like to attend based on the schedule of events.
|
| I am a speaker at an education session. How do I register? |
| Speakers should contact Amy Huisman ([email protected]) regarding their virtual conference registration. |
| How do I ensure I obtain my CE credit? |
|
Everyone seeking CE credit must register for a CE eligible category and pay the corresponding fees; additional participants from the same organization seeking CE credit must each register separately.
Individuals must participate in breakout sessions and general sessions using their unique/individual registration login/credentials; CE credit cannot be issued to multiple people sharing the same computer or login credentials.
To meet the regulatory and education requirements, participants must stay for the entire session to receive credit. Credit cannot be granted to individuals who do not attend the full 60 minutes of each session. Attendance in each session will be tracked and verified before CE credit is issued.
Be sure to check the continuing education information page for more information.
