If you are using a mobile browser on a smartphone device, a prompt to add the event to your device's home screen will appear, which will help in caching the event information, and making it easily available to you the next time you would like to access it. The process for doing this depends on your device and browser, but it usually involves clicking the browser's menu button and choosing the option that sounds most like "Add/Save to home screen."
Stop by the registration desk to confirm the registered email with a member of our team.
