The Cvent Events App is Required!  DOWNLOAD NOW!

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

Cvent Events for Apple Devices:

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.

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.
