The Conference Hub works directly in your web browser. If your device supports Progressive Web Apps (PWA), you may also install it to your home screen for a more app-like experience.

The Conference Hub can be installed on many phones, tablets, and computers for quick access from your Home Screen, Start menu, or desktop.

If you selected “Not Now” when the installation message appeared, you have not lost the ability to install it. Open the More menu in the Conference Hub, find “App & Updates,” and choose “Install Conference App.”

If your browser cannot display the automatic installation prompt, use the instructions below.

iPhone or iPad — Safari

Tap the Share button, select “Add to Home Screen,” turn on “Open as Web App” if shown, and tap “Add.”

Open the presentation from the Schedule or Speakers pages. Any handouts or resources provided by the presenter will appear on the presentation's detail page.

The Conference Hub is a Progressive Web App, or PWA. It can be installed on your phone and used much like a traditional app, but it is still powered by a website rather than software downloaded from an app store.

Native apps are built specifically for iPhone or Android and usually keep more of their screens, data, and functions directly on the device. The Conference Hub may need to request updated schedules, handouts, maps, or other information from the website as you move between pages. The speed can therefore depend on your internet connection, the conference Wi-Fi, cellular service, and whether the page has already been stored on your device.

When you select a page or resource, the app may briefly pause while it:

• checks for updated conference information
• retrieves a page or file
• loads content that has not been viewed before
• reconnects after a weak or interrupted signal

Previously viewed pages and resources may load faster because your device can reuse stored copies.

A loading indicator may appear while the Conference Hub is working. Please allow a few seconds before tapping the same button again. If a page does not appear after a longer delay, try refreshing the app or checking your internet connection.

The advantage of this approach is that attendees can use the Conference Hub without downloading a large app-store application, and conference staff can update schedules, locations, and resources quickly without requiring everyone to install a new version.

The Conference Hub may remain available for a limited time after the conference so attendees can continue accessing schedules, resources, and presentation materials.
