What is the Summit Scheduler? |
|
| |
The Scheduler is an online tool available for registered attendees to build their personalized schedule of sessions and labs. You can access it by signing in to the session catalog. Both sessions and labs fill quickly, so schedule as soon as possible. The Summit Scheduler will be available starting in January 2019. |
|
| |
Onsite note: Space in sessions/labs will be limited. If you have pre-registered for a session or lab, you must arrive three minutes prior to when a session or lab begins to secure your seat. Your enrollment in a session will be validated and scanned at the time of entry. Anyone who is not pre-enrolled may be asked to wait in an onsite wait line. |

What should I know about scheduling sessions? |
|
| |
Space in sessions/labs is limited. You must arrive three minutes prior to when a session or lab begins to secure your seat — regardless if you utilized the scheduler. Your enrollment in a session will be validated and scanned at the time of entry. Anyone who is not pre-enrolled may be asked to wait in an onsite wait line. |
|
| |
How do I schedule sessions and build my Summit schedule? |
|
| |
To schedule sessions, log in to the Summit Session Catalog with the username and password you created when you registered for Summit. Search for sessions by keywords or applying the various search filters to find what interests you. Click the Schedule button to add the session to your schedule. If the session has more than one instance, click the Schedule button next to the timeslot you’d prefer to add it to your schedule. Note: you can only add one instance of a session to your schedule. |
|
| |
I see a session in the catalog that does not appear schedulable. How can I schedule it? |
|
| |
Preconference courses (occurring on Sunday or Monday of Summit) are only available as an additional purchase through registration. Log back in to the registration dashboard and click manage group passes and purchase to add a preconference lab to your schedule, while space is available. |
|
| |
If the session is a regular breakout and it does not have a session time, please check back soon as we are publishing and scheduling new breakouts on a regular basis. |
|
| |
How do I delete, swap, or change a session? |
|
| |
You can remove or swap sessions from your schedule in either Session Catalog or Calendar view. |
|
| |
Remove a session in Calendar view: click on the session you’d like to remove from your schedule and select: Remove from Schedule. Note: upon confirming this action, the session will be removed from your schedule. If there is a waitlist for the session, a waitlisted attendee will automatically be added in your place. |
|
| |
Remove a session in Catalog view: search and find the session you’d like to remove in the session catalog. Click the Scheduled button and confirm that you want to remove it from your schedule. You can then search for other sessions to schedule in its place. The Day filter can be used to narrow your search. |
|
| |
Swap a session: find the session you want to schedule in the Catalog and select Schedule. A pop-up message will ask if you want to replace the existing scheduled session with the new one or not. Make your selection and click Schedule Session to update your schedule. Access your schedule by clicking on the My Schedule button in the dashboard. To cancel a session from your schedule, open Session Details by clicking on the session then select Remove from Schedule. You will be asked to verify before the session is deleted. To add a new session click on the empty time block in your schedule to view available sessions. Hovering over the Not Scheduled button will change it to Add to Schedule. Clicking the button will add it to your schedule. You can also delete a session from the catalog by clicking on any session marked Scheduled. |

Which conference pass types are eligible to schedule sessions? |
|
| |
Only full conference pass holders are eligible to schedule sessions. |
|
| |
What does my experience level need to be for breakouts? |
|
| |
Summit offers breakout sessions geared toward marketing professionals with varying proficiencies in Adobe Experience Cloud. While our breakouts range in technical level from novice to advanced, we recommend attendees have a solid knowledge and proficiency of Adobe Experience Cloud tools and services to benefit the most from the education sessions at Summit. The suggested technical level is listed in the description of each breakout. |
|
| |
Can I simultaneously register for a session and add myself to a waitlist for another session at the same or overlapping timeslot? |
|
| |
The Summit Scheduler does not allow for double-booking, even if one breakout is at capacity and you choose to add yourself to the waitlist. We recommend that if there are two sessions you are interested in attending at the same time, that you register for the one that has space to reserve your seat. |
|
| |
How does the online waitlist work? |
|
| |
If a breakout is full, you may elect to add yourself to the online waitlist for that session. If an attendee who has reserved their seat in that breakout removes it from his or her schedule, the first person on the waitlist will automatically be added to the breakout and will be notified via email. |
|
| |
What is the onsite wait line policy? |
|
| |
If you are not pre-enrolled for a breakout you can stand in the onsite wait line outside of the breakout room. We suggest you arrive 15-20 minutes prior to the breakout start time. |
|
| |
Two minutes prior to the start of the breakout, if seats are available, the door monitor will allow wait line attendees into the room. |
|
| |
If I have pre-registered for a breakout and arrive late, will my seat still be reserved? |
|
| |
Your seat will be reserved until three minutes before breakout start time. If you fail to arrive three minutes prior, your seat will be forfeited. |
|
| |
Please arrive early to secure your seat. Your enrollment in a breakout will be validated and scanned at the time of entry. |
|
| |
Are waitlists available for preconference courses? |
|
| |
We do not have waitlists for preconference courses that you can add yourself to through the Summit Scheduler; however, if you are interested in signing up for a preconference that is full, you may contact customer service to have your name added to the interest list. If space should open in the class, you will be contacted and given the opportunity to purchase the preconference. |
|
| |
When is the schedule final? |
|
| |
Our breakout schedule can change all the way up to the conference. We aim to make our final changes a couple of weeks before the conference; however, unforeseen circumstances can necessitate a last-minute time change or cancellation. |
|
| |
Do the room assignments change? |
|
| |
Yes. Room assignments are subject to change up until the week before the event. We highly recommend waiting until the week prior to Summit to identify the rooms in which your breakouts take place. The Summit app will also be a great resource onsite to see where the breakouts are happening. |
|
| |
Why do the sessions and labs overlap sometimes? |
|
| |
Start times are staggered for a couple of reasons. We find that congestion in the halls is greatly decreased when we do not have sessions and labs starting at the same time because we avoid every attendee moving around from one breakout to another all at one time. We also stagger to allow us to have a full schedule. If we did not stagger, we’d have some very long breaks in between some of our start times. |
|
| |
What is required in Summit breakouts and do I need to bring anything? |
|
| |
Nothing! Sessions are lecture/presentation-based breakouts. The only thing an attendee may want to bring is a notebook and pen to take notes if desired. For our labs, we provide all the required equipment and files needed to participate. |
|
| |
Will I get copies of the presentations and materials? |
|
| |
We will post presentations the week of Summit for all breakouts for which we are permitted to share such documents. Some of our speakers are bound by copyright or licensing agreements and therefore do not permit us to make their materials available for download. |
|
| |
Materials will be available for download via the Summit Session Catalog. Attendees must be logged in to download the documents. |
|
| |
Is there a certification of completion for any labs/workshops? |
|
| |
While we do not provide any certificates of completion, you can use your Summit session schedule as proof of attendance and class completion. |
