  • If you make updates on your device, sync the app after entering the changes to make sure the server receives the new information for all your devices.

  • If you make updates to the personal MySchedule on icma.org your mobile device will be updated within one hour.

HOW DO I CREATE MYCONFERENCE LISTS?
Several sections of the App enable you to check the box next to an item to add that item to your personal MyCONFERENCE Lists.  For example, if you check the box next to any item on the Schedule, that item will appear on your MySCHEDULE List.

MYSCHEDULE*:

Select events, sessions etc. in the schedule section of the app. 

  • If you have personal meetings you'd like to add to your schedule, go to MyConference icon and select MYSchedule, there you can add appointments that do not appear in the master schedule.
  • If you've created personal appointments on icma.org, the app will not pick up those appointments. You will need to recreate the personal events on the app.
  • If you are using multiple devices, make sure you sync all devices after making changes to your schedule. This will ensure that your changes are updated on all devices.
  • If you select a ticketed event that requires preregistration and you have not already registered for the event, you will get an error message to call customer service and register first.
  • This feature syncronizes with our online My Schedule. You can enter items online or in the app and they will appear in both. Syncronization takes place every 60 minutes.

*This feature is for conference registrants only. If you are not registered for the event, you can browse the schedule and view the handouts but cannot build a personal schedule.

HOW DO I SYNC NOTES?

Notes are automatically synced if you have a good connection (wifi or data) when you take the note.

Then, when you move to the second device, sync the second device once to retrieve your notes and continue entering them.
