Create an Agenda
Plan your conference experience by creating an agenda of sessions you wish to attend using the conference app. Be sure to download the app before arriving in Anaheim.
Engage with Other Attendees
Connect with fellow attendees through the app and engage with them via the activity feed, which is particularly popular among participants!
Connect with a Mentor
Experienced conference-goers will have the opportunity to support first-time attendees through the Mentor Program. Having a mentor can be highly beneficial, as they can serve as a valuable resource for networking and navigating the conference. Mentors and mentees can express their interest in participating during the conference registration process. All mentors will be available during the event to offer support.
