Attendees of our virtual conferences are already familiar with the Socio app, which was easy to use and enhanced our conference experience. Some of you may even still have the app on your phone. We'll be using it this year instead of the expensive program booklet we used to provide. (Although the name has officially changed to Webex Events, it is exactly the same app, and in many places you'll only see the name Socio.)
As an attendee, you will no doubt be using your phone or personal device to access the app. But from home, prior or after the conference, you may find it easier to access the conference through our Webex conference page, which looks a bit different from the phone app. We encourage you to create a profile in the app before you come to Philadelphia, either through the website or on your phone. (These two places are now linked, so any changes to one can be read on the other.) You can also post anything you’d like on the Discussion Board, such as taxi or roommate sharing requests, or Monday dinner ideas or meet-ups. Please read the instructions below to set up your devices.

The Socio app contains the entire conference schedule, session descriptions, presenter bios (linked to their sessions!), information about our sponsors, and easy ways (Discussion Board and Messages) to connect with other attendees. You can click on the sessions you are interested in and instantly create your own personal agenda.
Make sure to allow notifications so we can send schedule changes and other announcements to your device in real time.
Presenters can embed their handouts on the app within the session information, and you will be able to download them.
