Android 4 and higher: Open the Google Play app and search for the app by entering SOT 2015. Select Download and open the app after the download has completed.

BlackBerry (version 6.0+) or Windows Phone 7: Open the browser on the device. Navigate to http://ativ.me/sot15w

Online Planner: Access the Online Planner to build your custom schedule via the computer, download to print or sync with your iCal and/or sync to your device at any time. The Online Planner has optimal functionality using Chrome.

The Online Planner and Mobile Event App will prompt for a username and password before allowing users to access certain features, which include: “My Schedule” and  “Attendee Messaging." Only Annual Meeting registrants will have access to these restricted features. SOT Member registrants use their SOT membership login credentials for full access. SOT non-member registrants use their email and password, which was used to register for the meeting to gain full access. At any time, use the password reminder on the SOT website login to have your password sent to your email address (the email address used to register for the meeting). Your name will display at the top of the app when you are logged in. Contact SOT Headquarters if you need assistance with your password.
