What time zone is the agenda listed in?
Eastern
How do I log in to the Whova platform?
Go to the Whova platform and log in using the email address you registered for the event with. If it is your first time accessing Whova, you will create a password. ASC staff do not know your password or have access to reset it, so you will need to contact Whova support if you need assistance with your password. If you do not remember what email address you used to register for the event, email us and we can tell you.
Do I need any special software for the event?
No! All you need is a smart device and an internet connection. Everything you need is in the Whova platform, which you can access via an internet browser or through the Whova app.
How will I find the workshop links?
Approximately five minutes before a session begins, a link will appear in the Whova event platform for you to click. When you click the link, the Zoom meeting will open in a new window in your browser or via the Zoom app on your device, depending on your device’s settings. Please note that workshop sessions are first-come, first-served with a 100-participant limit. The keynote sessions will have room for all attendees.
Will I have the ability to chat and ask the presenters questions live in the workshops?
Yes. Each presenter will determine how they utilize the chat function during their workshop. (For example, answering questions as they arise versus having a specific Q&A period.) Please use the chat feature within Zoom during workshop sessions instead of the Whova workshop chat option.

What should I do if I need assistance troubleshooting technical issues or have questions about the Whova platform?
