How do I register as a delegate user?

Click on the "register here" link in the Registration field.

Enter the details requested.

Local meetings are those of interest to a limited geographic area.

Some areas are not yet covered by google maps and the Local meetings facility may be affected by this. 

After registration, you may receive alot of email alerts for conferences stored in the databases (all suitable for your alert criteria).

Thereafter, only newly submitted conferences or courses of your choice will be sent to you.

If you are receiving too many emails, you may narrow your alert criteria via the "edit alert criteria".

What does the 'alert-frequency' do?

This is a facility to remind you about conferences of interest, where you do not wish to action the email alert immediately.

An email will be sent to you with details of a conference or course of interest to you.

If the conference is of interest to you, it can be saved by clicking the "save conference" button on the email, and the conference will be entered into your "saved conferences" account. (You may view this via the home page)

Alternatively, you may delete the conference on the email.

Saving or deleting the conference needs to be performed whilst connected to the internet.

After you have saved or deleted the conference, you can then delete the email from your inbox.

You will automatically receive a reminder of your saved conferences on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on your alert criteria. Weekly reminders are sent on Tuesdays, monthly on the First of the month.

How do I register a conference?

If you are the conference organiser, log-in to the website and open "Add Conference" in the menu. Enter the details requested. If the event has it's own website, provide it's URL and this link will be included. Your contact details will automatically be loaded into the conference details.

 If you are not the conference organiser, log out and enter the details requested. If you remain logged in, your details will appear in the event details.

If the conference or course does not have a dedicated website, you can upload your own flyer or information for delegates in the "conference description" box. You can cut/paste text and pictures into this box. Contact information is entered in dedicated fields and will also be sent to delegates.

The information will be edited by theconferencewebsite and will be available on the site and emailed to delegates within approximately 48 hours.

How do I search for a conference?

You can search for a conference using the basic or advanced fields.

Both fields will search the databases for full titles, abbreviated titles, single words, specialty or keywords.

The advanced search can be used to search by city or country, or dates.

The calendars can be used to search for conferences which may coincide with your planned dates.

My account name is my email address. Will this be used for commercial purposes?

Your email address, personal data, use of theconferencewebsite etc will not be passed to any other agent.

In order to keep this service free of charge, advertising may be used, including adverts incorporated into the alert emails. The companies concerned will not have any access to your email address or any other details.

Do I need to regularly visit the website?

Once you have registered your details and alert criteria, you may never need to return to the site. Conference alerts are automatic. You may wish to return to the site to use the other facilities for venue search , organiser search and conference submission facilities.

However, if you do not log out, the system will remember your log in details and you can enter the site via the homepage without re-entering the account name and password.

I am a Conference Organiser. I would like to appear on the Organiser database.

Register using the "register here" button.

Enter details requested and confirm that you are an Organiser and wish to appear in the database.

Once edited by theconferencewebsite, this can be viewed in the Organiser database.

How do I register a conference venue?

Use the "Add Conference Venue" in navigation to enter the details.

You do not need to be registered to enter a venue.

How do I use the map facility?

Google maps are used extensively for your convenience.

Maps are generated from address and postcode/zip data. 

Sometimes, an address cannot be located accurately and a pointer will be set close to the desired location. Simply "drag and drop" the pointer to the correct location for mapping in Delegate Registration, Conference Submission and Venue Submission.

Maps are not available for some areas.
