Under the Agenda tab, you will see ‘My Registered Sessions’ on the far right. Under this, you will see all the sessions you have chosen so far. We recommend you add your sessions to your own personal calendar to get reminders of what sessions you have booked. You can do this by clicking ‘Add to Calendar’ and you can choose to add to your Google, Outlook, iCal or Yahoo account.

You can remove yourself from a session at any time and this will open a space for someone else. To do this, go to ‘My Registered Sessions’, and click the seat icon on the top left. You will then be prompted to confirm if you wish to remove the session from your schedule or keep this in. You can choose any additional sessions you want, as long as there are spaces still available on your chosen session.

Follow this process:

1. Make sure you book your place on the event by filling in your details on the booking form.
2. You will then receive a confirmation email which will contain a link to the Agenda page so you can choose your sessions.
3. You will see a small seat icon on the top left hand side of your chosen session which will book your place onto this session.
   
4. You can then repeat this process and choose further sessions using the above points.

Don't worry, all of the sessions are being recorded so you can view them at anytime afterwards. Please cancel your place to allow someone else to attend.

Please try the following troubleshooting if you experience problems accessing your sessions:

Make sure you are logged in to choose your sessions. To do this, don’t input your email address again on the Agenda page, go back to the confirmation email in your inbox and repeat the process detailed above.
