We recommend that you bookmark this page for easy access during the conference. 3) Claim your event profile by signing up with your speaker email address* ❗A speaker email address is an address you provided to us when you originally registered as a speaker. It's important to log in under your speaker email to get access to the presenter tools. ❗You may already have an account if you have participated in a previous conference and registered for the mobile application.

2. Visit Your Session, Check the Schedule and Configure Streaming When you join the event, you can go to the agenda menu, find the session you're presenting at, and click on the notification to enter your speaker practice room. Please verify your session date and time and ensure that you have access to the speaker practice room. ❗If you do not see the speaker practice room, ensure that you registered using the same email that you used to register for the conference. Alternatively, 10 minutes before your session begins, you're going to see a pop-up notification with an option to enter your speaker practice room:
Within the practice room, you'll be able to: Turn your audio, webcam, and screen sharingConnect with other speakers to discuss the session and coordinateKeep an eye on the broadcast start time in the upper left-hand corner
❗IMPORTANT ❗ In order for your audio, webcam, and screen sharing to work, you need to grant access to your microphone and camera. Typically you see an automatic pop up asking you for permission. If you missed the pop-up or it didn't come up for you, follow the steps outlined in this guide for your specific browser and operating system. When you connect your microphone, make sure to select the exact microphone you want to use for the presentation as shown on the video below:
Once you are sharing, you'll get the ability to select the audio input & output sources (that is, which microphone and speakers you'd like to use) and the video input source (camera). If you're using something other than your device's built-in mic or camera, make sure the proper devices are selected before your session starts.
It's recommended to use a dedicated USB microphone and a dedicated HD or Full HD webcam. If you prefer a headset, AirPods have proven to work best in terms of quality and reliability.
