NLC App Help

The first navigation icon in the app is 'App Help'. Here you will find several instruction guides on how to use the app. Please read through each of them and remember to check there first if you forget how to use one of the features!

Customizing Your Schedule

By now, we hope that you have browsed through the conference agenda a few times! You've probably identified several sessions that you would like to attend on Sunday and Tuesday. On Sunday, we will enable a feature within the app that allows you customize your own schedule!

When you check in on-site, you will receive your name badge which has a label with your color group on it. When adding sessions to your schedule for Monday, please be sure to only add those with your assigned color group.

Downloading & Exporting PDFs

All of the conference presentations and handouts will be available for download by the end of the conference. We have already begun loading some of the presentations in the app! As they become available, you can find each presentation attached to the bottom of each session (Agenda > Choose a session > Scroll to the bottom under 'Documents'). Here's how you can download and/or export them -

On iOS devices:

1. Find the session that has the PDF you'd like to download attached to it. Under the documents header, click the name of the PDF.

2. Tap the export icon in the top right corner of the screen to open an options menu. Tap Copy to iBooks to save the PDF on your device, tap Mail to share it in an email as an attachment, or tap Print to print the PDF to any printer on the same Wi-Fi network (printing not available at the conference).

On Android devices:

1. Find the session that has the PDF you'd like to download attached to it. Under the documents header, click the name of PDF.

2. Tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner to open a pop-up window. Using these buttons, you can either send the file with your chosen email client, open it with a program of your choice, download the file to your device, or print it using any printer on the same Wi-Fi network as you (printing not available at the conference).

Note: To preserve memory on your cell phones, we recommend emailing the items to yourself instead of downloading them.

Social Media Scavenger Hunt

Don't forget! At the 2017 National Leadership Conference, the marketing team will be running a Social Media Scavenger Hunt. Participants will undertake fun "social media challenges," like posting a photo with a volunteer from another part of the country, or sharing the most useful information they have learned so far at the conference.

Challenges will be posted daily on our Facebook/Twitter accounts, in the marketing booth, and announced at the pre-breakfast briefing. All posts must be tagged @SCOREMentors and include #SCORENLC. At the end of each day, two volunteers will be randomly selected out of everyone who successfully completed at least one challenge to win a $50 prize.

The scavenger hunt is designed to build national awareness for SCORE on Facebook and Twitter, and to showcase the NLC as an example of SCORE's lifelong learning educational initiatives for our volunteer corps.

Be sure to follow our social media channels now so you're ready for the scavenger hunt, and to receive regular news updates and success stories from SCORE. We're on Facebook at SCOREMentors and Twitter at SCOREMentors.

See you at the scavenger hunt!

We are looking forward to seeing you all this weekend!
