Near the top of the page there is a link provided beside Facebook and Twitter icons. Providing the link in the textbox (by tweeting it out, printing it out, or displaying it on a whiteboard or powerpoint slide) will allow delegates to access your session info and any documents you've uploaded.
B. Download the App to your Mobile Device
If you go to the convention app site (https://conventions2017.sched.com) on your mobile device, a prompt will appear inviting you to add the app to your device's homescreen. This will create a shortcut that links to the convention schedule. It will resemble any other app on your device.
