Hi Craig,
Here are the sponsors you can link to specific sessions or events on the conference agenda on the app:
Valmont Industries Homepage The Combine Tuesday evening reception Lindsay Corporation Pre-conference reception LI-COR Flash Talks I & II Nebraska Corn Board Monday Side Tour Midwest Dairy Association Monday Side Tour Sorghum United Global Lessons in Regenerative Agriculture: Transforming Landscapes and Livelihoods (CS12) Nebraska Soybean Board Monday Side Tour
Frances Hayes Director of Communications and Public Relations Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute at the University of Nebraskahttp://waterforfood.nebraska.edu/ Nebraska Innovation Campus 2021 Transformation Dr. | Ste 3220 | Lincoln, NE 68588 e: fhayes@nebraska.edumailto:fhayes@nebraska.edu | p: +1 402.472.9510 Newshttps://waterforfood.nebraska.edu/news-and-events | Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/waterforfoodinstitute | YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/user/WaterForFood | Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/waterforfood/ | LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/waterforfood [Text Description automatically generated]https://waterforfood.nebraska.edu/
I was able to link all of these to sessions. I will add Valmont on the homepage when I start building that page out.
On another note, I was able to successfully import the Schedule, Speakers and Notifications spreadsheets without errors. The speakers linked up with the sessions assigned. And the exhibitor admins have been assigned and messaged.
Overall, things are falling together on the cvent side of the conference!

Hi Craig,
I was looking through the schedule on the app yesterday and noticed that the concurrent sessions are not showing. Can you take a look at that when you have a moment?

I noticed that in mine as well. I know the reason why this is happening, which is to nobody is registered for the ‘optional’ sessions. We did this last year within the registration.
Amber – is there a plan to get everyone registered for the optional sessions at some point? If not, we should probably reach out to cvent to figure out the best way to do this.
Thanks.

Hi Craig,
I think I can answer this one – attendees likely won’t select their optional concurrent sessions until they download the conference app slightly prior to the conference or onsite, as it doesn’t matter much to us this year since we’re not determining room assignments by sign up numbers for individual sessions.
It seems odd to me that they wouldn’t show up unless someone has signed up, but would it work for you, Amber, and I to each register for a different side event during each grouping so we can ensure they will appear?

Frances – I think that the optional sessions part of the registration has been disabled. By not having people sign up for optional sessions, in-person attendees will not have any optional sessions on their app (as you noticed). In addition, any virtual attendees will not be able to view optional sessions.
I think that optional sessions can show up in the app, but it may or may not be clunky and confusing for all attendees. The other option would be to add the optional section back onto the registration, and have everyone modify their registration, if they are interested in using the app or the livestreaming options. We have not handled registration in the way before, so I just do not know how to handle this.
Amber – do you have any insight on this?

Hi Craig,
We decided it was best for me to remove the session selection from the registration process to make it more efficient signing up. I believe people can curate their agenda in the app, right? If that is the case, a sentence can be added in the email about the app about doing that.
Kind regards, Amber

I think I can answer this one – attendees likely won’t select their optional concurrent sessions until they download the conference app slightly prior to the conference or onsite, as it doesn’t matter much to us this year since we’re not determining room assignments by sign up numbers for individual sessions.

I think I can answer this one – attendees likely won’t select their optional concurrent sessions until they download the conference app slightly prior to the conference or onsite, as it doesn’t matter much to us this year since we’re not determining room assignments by sign up numbers for individual sessions.
It seems odd to me that they wouldn’t show up unless someone has signed up, but would it work for you, Amber, and I to each register for a different side event during each grouping so we can ensure they will appear?

Apologies for the confusion. I meant that we should reach out to Anshul and setup a meeting the first part of the next week, as she is familiar with our conference. I don’t think this is something we need to resolve today. We still have some time.
Does this work? If so, I will reach out to Anshul and start the process to setup a meeting.

Frances – I think that the optional sessions part of the registration has been disabled. By not having people sign up for optional sessions, in-person attendees will not have any optional sessions on their app (as you noticed). In addition, any virtual attendees will not be able to view optional sessions.
I think that optional sessions can show up in the app, but it may or may not be clunky and confusing for all attendees. The other option would be to add the optional section back onto the registration, and have everyone modify their registration, if they are interested in using the app or the livestreaming options. We have not handled registration in the way before, so I just do not know how to handle this.
Amber – do you have any insight on this?

On another note, I was able to successfully import the Schedule, Speakers and Notifications spreadsheets without errors. The speakers linked up with the sessions assigned. And the exhibitor admins have been assigned and messaged.
Overall, things are falling together on the cvent side of the conference! Craig
