CONVENE

Maximize your convention experience with the THOMSON REUTERS CONVENE app.

Follow these steps to fully utilize the app:

STEP 1: GET YOUR CONVENE CODE
You will receive a code from app@getconvene.io. They may be stored in your spam mails so
please check them. Note that codes are unique and should not be shared with others.

STEP 2: DOWNLOAD CONVENE AND ENTER THE CODE

You may download the convene app through google apps or apple store. Enter the code in the
'Enter code' tab.

STEP 3: WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION CONVENE PAGE!

Explore the page through the options tab.

STEP 4: EDIT YOUR PROFILE

Edit your profile under the 'Attendees List' tab. You can add your picture, details, and even
connect your LinkedIn account. At the convention, you can use your profile as a business card
because the app allows profile sharing through QR code scanning. Note that the convene QR
code is different from your convention ID QR code.

STEP 5: EXPLORE THE PAGE

The page allows you to see the program overview, know the speakers profile, and explore the
specific details of each event, such as event locations. You can 'heart' the events that you like and
even rate and give feedbacks that are directly sent to the organizers. Handouts will also be
uploaded in these pages after all the sessions.

STEP 6: ASK THE SPEAKERS!

One objective of using the convene app is to increase interaction between the speakers and the
audience. Under each session details, you can click the 'Poll' option and you will be directed to
the polleverywhere website, which will allow you to ask questions to the speaker, real time!
Questions will be screened by the moderators so please make sure that questions entered in the
poll are respectful.

Note: The use of app is optional. Meaning, you can still go enjoy the convention with or without
the app; however, the organizing committee still encourages you to use the app to enhance your
convention experience.

CLAIMING OF CERTIFICATE
This year, the convention gets an upgrade with its certificate claiming system because we will be
sending e-certificates through your email. We will be doing this for 2 reasons. First, we want to
avoid long lines. Finally, we have to compute first for your rated CPD points before we send the
certificate.

Evaluation forms will be given at the end of the convention (March 1, 2019), lunch time. Submit
your evaluation forms at the check-out counters before you can check-out. NO SIGNED
EVALUATION FORM, NO CERTIFICATE

We thank you for your continued support in this innovation.
