Emerging Franchisor Virtual Conference

175 CFE Education Credits

Do I have to attend the entire event? Virtual events bring the experience of an in-person conference to your personal computer, so just like an in-person conference, you have the freedom to pick the sessions you attend. But many say that attending the event in its entirety—the general sessions and all breakout sessions—will help you to get the most out of the experience and earn you the maximum amount of CFE credits.

Can I pick breakout sessions to attend? Yes! You can choose any session you would like to attend in each breakout session time block.

What technology do I need to attend this event? For the best experience, we suggest using a desktop or laptop computer and the Chrome internet browser must be up to date. A hard wire line is recommended but wireless internet access should be fine. Computers, such as laptops and desktops, can run the virtual event for you. The event can be accessible through your mobile device but it is not recommended given all the pictures and content. However, the videos can play through your mobile device.

Do I need to have a webcam for the event? Although you do not need a webcam to attend virtual events, if you signed up for any of the virtual networking/social events, you are encouraged to use your webcam to allow for a face-to-face experience with other attendees.

Will I be able to see the presenters for each session? Yes. You will be able to see all general session and breakout session speakers along with their presentations. You will also have access to the PDFs of the presentations. 

Can I ask questions during the educational sessions? We encourage you to use the chat feature to network and the question feature to ask speaker questions.

Are there recordings available after the event? Yes! Recordings of all the sessions will be available for up to three months after the event. Use your login information to access the program website to watch all recorded sessions.

How do I log into the virtual event on the day of the event?  Before your program begins each day you will receive an email from IFAevents@mocandco.com with a link to join the virtual experience. From there you will be asked to verify your details by entering your name and email address. You will receive a verification code via email or SMS message (if you provided a mobile phone number). Once you are in the virtual experience, use the dynamic home scree to find which sessions are currently happening or use the navigation across the top to click into all sessions and learn about the event sponsors. Within the session  you will have the option to use live Q&A to ask the speaker questions. You will also have access to additional documents and materials after the session if the speaker makes them available.  

What do I do if I cannot log in?
If you have trouble logging in or have technical issues contact IFAevents@mocandco.com
