HYBRID SUMMIT ACCESS 2024

We are looking forward to coming back to Washington D.C to the Georgetown Marriott on May 14, 2024.  The Summit App is now open and if you are registered you can log in to your account using the instructions below.

As a hybrid event we aim to maximise the experience for all Summit participants, whether you are joining us in Washington, watching the Summit virtually or viewing the presentations and panel discussions, later on-demand. 

All registered Summit participants now have access to the event app (Whova) where they can view the Speaker ppt. slides, follow and contribute to the Summit  chat/discussions, participate in polls and submit questions for the panel debates. If you have not registered you will not be able to access the Summit.

For those that are joining virtually you will be able to follow the Summit via a “Live Stream” as per the Agenda (US EST).

Videos of speaker presentations and the panel discussions will be added to the virtual platform within 24 hours of the live event for you to watch/re-watch later.  The app will be live for 3 months after the event.

Full details and joining instructions will be sent to all registered delegates by May 10. If you have not yet registered, you need to do so here –  You must use the same email address for your registration as your Whova account.

  • Already have Whova App installed: When you have Whova installed already, it doesn’t always recognise that you’ve been added to the attendee list for this particular event.  Uninstalling and reinstalling the app will usually rectify this, or you can email info@smooth-events.com for an access code which will allow you to enter

  • Some academic institutions in particular have strict firewalls in place, which restrict or prohibit access to event platforms like Whova.
