Yes. This year we are utilizing an app called Whova. For more information on how to download the app, click here. We will be utilizing the Whova app for announcements, the schedule, connecting with others, and more!

There is no pre-registration required for individual sessions, but you may RSVP to sessions in the Whova app ahead of the symposium. Utilizing the RSVP feature is a helpful way to build your schedule and support capacity planning for the NACG; however, please note that an RSVP does not guarantee a seat. All rooms have a defined capacity, so we encourage you to RSVP and arrive in a timely fashion to avoid disappointment.

Continuing education credits (CEs) are included in your registration cost. You will need to ensure you are checked in and out of each session and complete an evaluation for each CE-eligible workshop following the event to receive CE credit. For more information on Continuing Education credits at the symposium, click here.
