Three Easy Ways to Access the Complete Program

ILA offers three ways to access the complete conference program. So, whether you prefer PDF schedules, mobile apps, or online event portals, we have you covered!

Please note: The Mobile App and Attendee Hub Website will always have the most up-to-date information in them. In addition to containing the most recent information, you’ll be able to access session descriptions and presenter details, receive helpful notifications about the conference,  network with other participants, and access sponsor information in the virtual exhibit hall. 

The pdf program book, while static, provides an easily accessible overview of the entire agenda and what’s offered in each session block. The pdf is also where you’ll find clickable information from our sponsors, including special pull-out sections on leadership publications and coaches & consultants. 

Experience the best of both worlds! Download the pdf, but also login to the conference through either the APP and/or the online event portal. 

#1 Mobile App

Step 1. Download the Mobile Conference App. Go to the App store on your mobile device and download the CVENT mobile app. Note: If you have the app from last year, you may need to reinstall or you may be able to skip to step 2. 

Step 2. Open the app and search for the event: “International Leadership Association’s 26th Global Conference.”

Step 3. Download the event.

Step 4. While some app features are public, you’ll need to log in to access the most useful features. Log in with your first name, last name, and the email address you used when you registered for the conference. 

Step 5. Verify your account. You’ll receive an email containing a verification code. Please check your spam folder if you don’t receive it in 1-2 minutes.

#2 Attendee Hub Website

Step 1. Go to the CVENT ILA 26th Global Conference Attendee Hub Website.

Step 2. Enter your Info. You’ll be prompted to enter your first name, last name, and email address. Be sure to use the email you used to register for the conference. Then click Next.

Step 3. Verify your account. You’ll either receive an email and text message containing a verification code, or just an email. Read it, then return to your browser, enter the code, and click Log in.

NOTE: Verification codes can only be used once and expire after 24 hours. If you’re logging in on multiple devices, you’ll receive a new verification code for each.

#3 Program Book PDF

Interested in quickly seeing an overview of the entire agenda and what’s offered in each session block?  The program book pdf is the place for you!  The pdf is also where you’ll find clickable information from our sponsors, including special pull-out sections on leadership publications and coaches & consultants. 

PS. ILA does NOT print program books.  If you prefer a printed booklet, we encourage you to download the PDF and print the parts you would like to carry at the conference.
