    • 3. Set up your personal profile

    After signing in the Whova PICMET'18 App, your personal profile is automatically created. The profile can be edited in "My Profile" from "More" tab at the bottom right of the home dashboard.

    If you do not want your profile to be visible to other users in the App, you can hide your profile in "Settings" from "More" tab by turning off "Other attendees can see me". This way, your name will not appear in the "Attendees" dashboard on the home page.

    4. Send and receive in-app messages

    If you choose not to hide your profile, you may get text messages inside the App from other attendees.

    5. Access the conference schedule

    All of the session schedules can be found in the Agenda. You can search the session schedules by authors or speakers’ last name. You can also mark your interested sessions into your own agenda and set up a reminder.

    6. Provide comments for each session

    The comment section in each session allows attendees to leave feedback to us. It will be visible briefly to the user who posts the comment, then will disappear immediately. After that, only PICMET will have full record of comments.
