Regarding emails: you must to assume that all technology will fail at some point, and emails are notorious for something going wrong. Fortunately, the platforms we have created for communicating with vendors and registering for events no longer are dependent upon the success of an email message being delivered:
-
100% of our communication occurs via this vendor forum; copies are emailed to the registered participants of the forum to your associated email address, but all posts are also publicly viewable from the website from your laptop, tablet or smartphone device. If you haven’t heard anything from us in a bit, that’s a good sign that your email isn’t working correctly – just check the forum to see what is new
-
Event registration now requires a free Signup Genius account for this exact same reason (Event Registration 2022 - Account Required) – it provides a mechanism for you to view what events you are registered for from within your account. It’s really slick – you signup for something, and it’s on the list. Again, this completely removes the uncertainties of “did I or not - where’s that email?” from the process.
It’s pretty important that you work out how to either get your emails working OK with our system, or to at least build habits/process to use our forum/registration tools to their fullest. If you want to bring your laptop or device to setup (between 2pm-8pm today, Fri Apr 22) I will help to walk you through those details to make future events simpler for you.
