The homepage will also give you suggested contacts, based on your interests.

Community, gallery & social feeds

As you explore the app, you’ll see three different ways to engage with others:

Gallery – Upload your photos to show us how much fun you’re having, who you’ve connected with, and what sessions you have loved! There will be a spot prize for one person who uploads a photo to the Gallery.
Community – This is a discussion forum, where you can post about different topics – including exhibitor giveaways, recommendations for things to do in Wellington, and event updates
Social feed – Share your thoughts, fun tips and tricks, and comment on each other’s posts. Think of it as an in-app Facebook

Which contact details go into the app?

The contact details you use to register will be entered into the app. Once you've logged in, you can manually change your details except for your name.

How do I find my preferred stream sessions?

If you want to see only your preferred stream (choose from Contaminated Land & Groundwater Management, or Waste & Resource Recovery), you can filter using 'tags':

Select the Filter button at the top of the Schedule page
Scroll down to the section that says Filter By Tags
Select which option you would like – such as Contaminated Land and Groundwater Management.
Select Apply, and this will show you only your preferred streams.

How do I find the sessions I've bookmarked?

When you've bookmarked all of your favourite sessions, there are two ways to access your agenda:

From the homepage, select Schedule on the bottom menu and then toggle to My Agenda at the top of the page.
From the Side Menu, select My Agenda at the top of the page, under your profile picture.

What happens when I scan another delegate's QR code?

When you scan the QR code on someone else's badge, this automatically connects your profiles. You can then write notes against their profile and view their contact details.

To find your contact list:

Go to your profile, in the side menu
Click on My scans
You can then see the profiles you have scanned.
Select the Download button at the top right of the page, and you can choose whether to save the spreadsheet to your device, or send it to your email address.

What's the Best Expo Site voting?

Every year at the Gala Dinner, an exhibitor is awarded with Best Expo Site! This year, we are asking you to vote for the best site and this will determine who wins the coveted award.

You can vote by selecting the Best Expo Site menu icon and selecting your favourite exhibitor.

How do I ask keynotes questions?

Each keynote will be having a Q&A session after their presentation. We will use the app to do this.

Simply click on the Keynote session in the Schedule. To submit a question, log in, select the relevant session, and tap on “Live Q&A”. Type your question in the box and hit enter. Your question will appear after it has been approved by the organising team.

Will there be a leaderboard competition this year?

Yes - but it will look slightly different!

This year, we’ll be giving away three $50 vouchers as spot prizes during the conference. Each day, one winner will be randomly selected based on a chosen type of app engagement - for example, uploading a photo to the gallery one day or sending a message the next. The more you engage with the app, the higher your chances are to win a prize!

If you are competitive - you can still compete for the top spot on the leaderboard! Your prize will be the pride of the win, kudos from your peers and the opportunity to win the spot prize.

Take on as many challenges and activities as you can. Points await you for activities such as commenting, liking, and completing your profile.

I'm a speaker, sponsor or exhibitor - can I update my own profile?

Yes! Speakers, sponsors and exhibitors have separate profiles within the app. You will be given access to update your organisation or speaker profile, and you can do this via the side menu.

Can I write notes within the app?

Yes! Click on the side menu, and you'll see an option for "Notes" in the bubbles down the bottom.

These aren't linked to sessions, so you will need to remember to add the title of the session manually.
