The Cvent Events App is Required!

You will need the Cvent Events App for easy event check in, session check in, and event updates.

Cvent Events for Apple Devices: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cvent-events/id1491335576 

Cvent Events for Android Devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cvent.mobile.eventapp&pcampaignid=web_share 

You MUST check in to your sessions via the app once you are at the Convention. The website does not have this capability, and session check in is the only way to let us know you attended a session. This means that the app is REQUIRED for Continuing Education (CE) credit tracking.

If you experience trouble with the app, find a Student Ambassador or LPCA Board/Staff Member for assistance.

3. Arrive to your session within 15 minutes of start time.

4. Check in to the session using the Cvent Events App. You can do this by navigating to the session, then clicking "Check In" at the bottom right of the screen. 

5. After the Convention, all CEs from session attendance will be sent via email. This may take 1-2 weeks and it may end up in your junk or spam folder. We appreciate your patience as we get your CEs out to you.

Session check in is open 15 minutes prior to session start, through the end of the session. Check in must occur before the session ends.

Why do I need the app?

The app is how we keep track of session attendance and CE Credit. The app is REQUIRED if you wish to earn and receive your CEs. 

What if I have app trouble? 

We can help you troubleshoot! We have Student Ambassadors, LPCA Board Members, and LPCA Staff available at the Convention to help you with any technical difficulties you may be having. We will make every reasonable effort to get your app up and running for use throughout the Convention. 

If you are still having extreme technical difficulties and all reasonable efforts have been otherwise made, please visit a Student Ambassador or LPCA Staff member for next steps. This is a LAST RESORT because "next steps" are enitrely manual and could delay your CEs.
