Virtual Features:

• Live streaming is available from the home page tiles.
• Locate virtual presentations and interact by listening to pre-recorded audio while drawing or taking notes on each slide.
• Look for a video link for speaker's pre-recorded video presentation for closed captioning, if made available.
• Engage with push notifications for real-time updates from the organizers.
• Ask Questions, Get Answers!
  • Look for the Q&A icon in the bottom navigation of each presentation. Click that icon and post your question for the speaker to answer. It may take time for a response since speakers will monitor their questions periodically during the conference. Check back often to see other questions and answers, or vote questions you would like to see answered 'up'. You can submit your questions even before the Congress begins!
• Sponsor/Exhibitor Showcase
  • We thank our sponsor and exhibiting companies for helping to make this event a success. Be sure to check out the virtual exhibit hall by clicking on the exhibitor tile and Visit the Sponsor/Exhibitor Showcase - both tiles available from the home page of the mobile app. Search exhibitor's by name or alphabetical listing in the company listing.
• Scavenger Hunt 
  • Try your luck with WCB's Scavenger  Hunt! Use the mobile app to play along with fellow attendees and compete to answer all the questions and climb your way to the top of the Leader board! This gamification feature of the app is designed to give our exhibitors a virtual way to engage with attendees and help promote their business.
