The ATD26 Session Scheduler & Exhibitor Directory, which doubles as our virtual platform and mobile app (hosted on Swapcard), makes it easier than ever to plan ahead and stay flexible once you’re onsite. While you can browse the full agenda as a guest, you will not be able to log in or build your schedule until you are registered for the conference. You will receive an email within 24 hours of registering with information on how to log in.

These filters make it easy to compare options, avoid scheduling conflicts, and uncover sessions you might not have found otherwise. However, we recommend choosing one or two sessions per time block, as sessions are first-come, first-served onsite, and can fill quickly.
