If you do not want your profile to be visible to other users in the App, you can hide your profile in "Settings" from "More" tab by turning off "Other attendees can see me". This way, your name will not appear in the "Attendees" dashboard on the home page.

If you choose not to hide your profile, you may get text messages inside the App from other attendees.
5. Access the conference schedule
All of the session schedules can be found in the Agenda. You can search the session schedules by authors
or speakers’ last name. You can also mark your interested sessions into your own agenda and set up a
reminder.
6. Provide comments for each session
The comment section in each session allows attendees to leave feedback to us. It will be visible briefly to
the user who posts the comment, then will disappear immediately. After that, only PICMET will have full
record of comments.
