Event app info | WasteMINZ Conference

This page gives you all the information you need to know about this year's Event App!

We will be using this app to share the programme with you, in lieu of a printed programme.

After you register, you will be sent an invitation to login to the app, including a username and password.

The app works exactly the same as last year's app (it's just a different launch provider), so if you were with us last year, it should be familiar to you. However, you will still need to download the app again if you used it last year.

Learn more about how to log in and access all the features below.

WasteMINZ Conference Event App

This year, all the information for the WasteMINZ Conference 2025 will be hosted in the Ignite Event Launcher app. Just download the app on the App Store or the Google Play store.

Once you've downloaded the app, enter the Event Code: WasteMINZ25.

We’d encourage you to upload a profile pic, and ensure your profile is public so you can share your contact details with other conference delegates and message each other easily.

Download on the App store

Download on Google Play

2. Access your event

Using event code: Wasteminz25

3. Login

You will have been sent an invitation to login to the app, to the email address that you provided in your registration form.

This will give you your unique username and password. Use these to login.

After your first sign-in, you will be asked to set your own password. Please remember this in case you need to log in again.

3. Set up the app

When asked during set up, please make sure you select "Visible to Others" and "Allow Messaging", to ensure other delegates can get in contact with you!

You can update your profile details, including uploading a profile picture using the My Event section.

In the programme section, you can bookmark your favourite sessions. These can be added to your calendar, or you can also find them in your MyEvent section.

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 the sessions I've bookmarked? When you've bookmarked all of your favourite sessions, go to MyEvent on the second home page. Then select My Schedule.

Can I add bookmarked sessions to the calendar on my phone? Yes. When you bookmark a session, a pop up message will appear asking if you want to add this to your calendar. You must select "allow" when asked if you give permission for Ignite Events to access your calendar.

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 access their details under MyEvent, then My Delegates.

You can write notes against their profile and view their contact details.

You can export the notes you write, however you cannot export the contact details of your connected delegates. The app remains active for at least 6 months, so you can use it to find those contact details until then.

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 Ignite Event app to ask questions.

Simply click on the Keynote session in the Programme. You'll see at the top of the page there is a heading "Interactive Session - click here to ask a question". Click on this, and you will be taken to new a screen where you can either:

Vote on a question that has already been asked
Submit a question

The questions are being moderated by the WasteMINZ team as they come in, so they won't appear in the "upvote" queue immediately.

What's the leaderboard?

You will receive points for engaging with the app and engaging with exhibitors, and the person with the most amount of points will receive a sustainable prize pack!

You can get points for:

Being scanned by an exhibitor
Adding a post to the activity feed
Messaging other delegates
Scanning other delegates
Asking questions of the keynotes

And much more!
