How do I download the conference app?
A few days before the conference, we will release an app that will serve as a go-to guide for the weekend. You will receive the following instructions via email when it is released.
1) Download the Yale Connect App on your mobile phone or tablet via the App Store or Google Play
2) After downloading, open the app. When prompted to "Select Hub" click on "New Directions in Environmental Law Conference"
3) Enter the email address you used to register for the conference and then click "Next" (Speakers: your email is the same one we have been used to correspond with you)
4) Check your email for a "Confirmation Code" and enter it in the space requested.
5) You will now have access to the Conference Mobile App and can use it to build your agenda/schedule, read about the speakers, chat with other conference go-ers, message conference hosts, and more.
Note: Due to the high number of exciting and engaging session opportunities, we encourage you to use the 'Conference Schedule' feature in the app in the 'Calendar' view to ensure you are able to view all sessions for the day. To do this, when in the application, click "Conference Schedule" from the menu options. Once there, click on the 'Calendar' tab at the top of the page, then select the date of the conference you wish to view. From here, you can add sessions to your schedule by clicking the "+" on the right of the session title.
