HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR EVENT EXPERIENCE

Welcome to the CMA’s 2025 Annual Educational Conference! 

Here is a brief overview of how the virtual environment works:

MY PROFILE

We have already entered some of your profile information, including your name and email address. For your security, please change your password.

 You can also manage your event viewing experience by toggling between “Onsite” and “Online” modes. To do this, simply scroll down to the bottom of your profile page where you can select your preferred participation type.

Please note: Your contact details will only be visible to other attendees when they click on your profile and visit your individual profile page, and if you have enabled visibility using the toggle option.

SCAN NAME BADGES TO COLLECT CONTACTS

Attendees, sponsors and exhibitors can collect contacts by scanning the QR Code on a conference attendee’s name badge. When logged into the portal, scan the QR code, and mark the contact as Favorite. You can create Categories of your Favorites. To fetch the details; go to My Profile> My Contacts.

 SCHEDULE

The schedule provides date/time/venue information about each conference session. To watch a live session, click on the “Watch Now/Ask a Question” button, which is located within each live-streamed session’s description details. Note: Only sessions in the main ballroom (i.e., Imperial Ballroom) on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, will be live streamed.

If you are an Online attendee, you will be able to watch the session and submit a question using the “Ask a Question” button.

If you are an Onsite attendee, you will be able to submit a question using the “Ask a Question” button and return (via the navigation buttons) to the schedule.

 ASK A QUESTION

When you submit a question, please be sure to mention the speaker’s name. We will make every effort to address as many questions as possible during the session. Any questions not addressed during the session will be emailed to the speaker for follow-up.

 ONLINE PLAYER

Once the video player has launched, you can watch the session live (while the session is running). Six control buttons are located at the bottom of your video player window, as follows:

1. Full Screen - Makes the player full screen.

2. Swap Screen – Enables you to indicate which screen appears in the large window and which one appears in the smaller window. (One window will show the speaker, and the other will show the speaker’s slides.)

3. Portal - Enables you to access information about the conference schedule, speakers and sponsors.

4. Ask a Question - Enables you to submit a question. Moderators will receive the questions and direct them to the speaker. Any questions not addressed during the session will be emailed to the speaker for follow-up.

5. Help – Launches the help page pop-up window.

6. Captions – Enables you to turn on/off the (English) closed-captions.

ONSITE PLAYER

If you are onsite (i.e., participating in the conference in person), use these buttons to access/navigate the player:

1. Portal - Enables you to access information about the conference schedule, speakers and sponsors.

2. Ask a Question - Enables you to submit a question. Moderators will receive the questions and direct them to the speaker. Any question not addressed during the session will be emailed to the speaker for follow-up.

3. Help - Launches the help page pop-up window.
