Attendees will know you by your SCHED Profile. Please check to make sure your Profile within SCHED is accurate, complete, and up to date.

All speakers were sent an email with log in instructions on March 11th.

  • If you already had a SCHED account from a previous conference – you can login using your existing email and PW.
  • If you did not have a SCHED account, one has been created for you and login instructions are included in that email. If you have questions or need assistance please contact Kent McDonald.
