Explore the Cvent Conference App

This year, URMIA is using the Cvent conference app to help you connect with other conference attendees, get the latest schedule, and rate the sessions following each presentation. If you attended any of our regional conferences in 2024, you may already have the Cvent app downloaded as we first used it during those events.

Using the Mobile App

Here’s how to get started with the mobile app.

• Download the Cvent App. Download on the Apple Store here and the Google Play Store here. Once you have the app downloaded, search for “URMIA’s 2024 Annual Conference” and click on the arrow to pull it up.
• Get connected. Log in with the first name, last name, and email address you used to register for the conference. A verification code will be sent to your email and will need to be entered to gain access to the event.
• Populate your profile in the conference app. Highlight your unique experiences, interests, and skills. Include your social media accounts to make you easy to find outside of the conference, too.
• Build Your Agenda. Click on the Calendar icon at the bottom of the homepage to view the conference schedule. Then click “Virtual Sessions.” Create your personal schedule by clicking the plus icon on the sessions you’d like to attend. Adding the session to your personal schedule on the app is the only way you’ll be able to access the Q&A, chat, and polls features during the presentations.
• Check the attendee list on the app. Click on the People icon at the bottom of the homepage to view attendees. Find people who have similar interests and just reach out and say hi to start the conversation. Have a go-to icebreaker question ready to go before the conference starts – Where are you located now? Are you a mountain or beach person?
• Connect with other attendees using the Community > Attendees menu items. Maybe it’s someone you already know or connect with someone who asked the same question you had during a session.

When in New Orleans…

You’ll want to refer to your schedule and view any announcements that are sent about meeting locations for tours, dinners, or any room changes (hopefully none!) as well as finding out if you are a raffle winner through the app.

You can also connect with attendees and find their contact information in the app if you want to follow up with them after the event.

We also have a couple of special session rooms that you’ll want to have your device handy to follow along with the slides during the presentations.

The app is also used to review the sessions helping our speakers and staff improve future conferences through your valuable feedback.

Need Help?

URMIA staff is available to help if you have trouble downloading the app – both prior to the conference and onsite. Just contact the URMIA Office and we will get you squared away and ready for an outstanding event!
