CONFERENCE APP

Over the past few years, Pioneer Network, in its effort to be environmentally responsible, has been working to reduce the amount of paper that has historically been associated with conferences. With your help, we have made great strides!

This year, we would like your help in furthering our efforts. As we have for the past two years, we will offer a conference App that you can download and use before, during, and after the conference. The App, which can be accessed on smartphones, tablets and desktops, is PioneerNetwork2020. The App will provide access to all conference information including session information, handouts, interactive maps of the conference venues and links to evaluate conference sessions. It also serves as a tool for connecting with fellow attendees.

In addition to the program information provided on the App, prior to the conference, all attendees will be sent via email a downloadable version of the program.

To support this effort, you will not receive a printed conference program unless you request one below.
