Mobile App & Virtual Platform - FAQs
Logging into the Mobile App and Virtual Platform
What is the difference between the virtual platform and the mobile app?
Both the virtual platform, or desktop version, and mobile app offer access to view the full schedule, ability to build out your own schedule, view the attendee list, and more. However, the mobile app is intended for Columbus attendees to access the most up to date information throughout the day. The desktop version is best for those live-streaming sessions virtually. After SHARE Columbus, the virtual platform will be where you go to access the select technical session recordings.

Navigating the Mobile App & Virtual Platform
How do I build my customized schedule?
On the Mobile App:
Navigate to the Technical Agenda tab located at the bottom of your screen and select a session that you are interested in attending. On the session details page, click the calendar icon in the top right corner. If tapped correctly, the calendar icon will turn white, which means the session is now added as one of your “selected” sessions.
To view all of the sessions you’ve selected, go to the Technical Agenda. Click the “filters” button towards the top of the screen, click “selected” and click “apply.” This will populate all of the sessions you’ve selected in one place.
Note: on the mobile app, the Technical Agenda tab will automatically default to your selected sessions. In order to go back to view the full Technical Agenda, you will need to remove your filters. When viewing the full technical agenda, any sessions that you have selected will be marked with an orange calendar icon to the left of the session title.

If you would like to export your selected sessions to save them to a personal calendar on your device, you will need to export each session individually.
- Navigate to your “Selected” sessions in the Technical Agenda tab. Click into the session that you’d like to export. Once on the session details page, click the export icon in the top right corner of your screen.
- A window will pop up with options for you to select how you’d like to export the session details. In this case, click “Add to Calendar." The session details (title, time, location and description) will then populate into a calendar item for you to save.
- Please note that the Technical Agenda is subject to change. Any changes made to sessions within the Technical Agenda will not update on your personal calendar. Please always refer back to the app for the most up-to-date information.

- Navigate to your “Selected” sessions in the Technical Agenda tab. From the page where you can see all of your sessions listed, click the export icon in the top right corner of your screen.
- A “Share what?” window will pop up with options for you to select how you’d like to export this page. In this case, click “My Schedule”

In this case, we suggest emailing the list to yourself so you can save or print the list as needed. See the screenshot below for an example of what the exported list of sessions will look like.
