Business cards
The event app offers delegates the opportunity to share virtual business cards with fellow colleagues and exhibitors. In order to utilise this feature:
- Head to the Business Cards tab on the app. You will be automatically enrolled into this feature, however you can disable at your discretion by going to the app settings and selecting “Change your privacy settings” and unselecting the “Available for business card exchanges” option.
- Your basic details (name, company and email address) will be on the business card, however you are welcome to add in additional details. You can also customise the look of the business card by clicking on the “Edit” button. Some details will need to be added by editing your profile, which can be accessed by clicking on the icon in the top right corner and selecting “Edit Profile”.
- To exchange business cards, click on the “Scan” button, which will then open up your camera phone. Simply scan the QR code on the physical badge of the person you wish to exchange details with. The request will then appear in the pending requests section of your business cards.
- Once the QR code is scanned and the request accepted, their business card will be added to the “Your Contacts” section for future reference.
Programme & Presentations
The programme can be accessed on the
Agenda tab of the event app, which will provide an overview of the sessions at the Symposium. For details on a specific session, click on the session in the agenda, which will then provide a summary of the session (description, location and details of the panellists).
Presentations will be available in PDF format to this section for delegates to download, in which we hope to provide them all in advance of the conference, however this may not be the case for all presentations.
You can tailor your agenda by clicking on the star icon on the right hand side of sessions to add to your own agenda, which can then be viewed by selecting the calendar in the top left of the agenda tab.
Please note, we may not have consent to share certain presentations, in which case these will be unavailable for download. The presentations will be available for three months after the event.
