+ Do I need to download specific software to attend the virtual event?

You do not need to download any software. You will be emailed a login for the virtual event platform, which we recommend you access through an up-to-date version of Google Chrome.

There will also be an app version of the platform available should you wish to download it. To download this, visit either the Apple App Store or Google Play store and search for RCEM Events.

All speaker Q&A and polling will happen via the virtual platform for both onsite and virtual delegates. We therefore recommend bringing a smartphone or tablet onsite if you are attending in person to enable you to participate fully in the event.

+ Will the sessions be recorded and available on-demand?

The conference will be available online for virtual delegates to watch.

The conference will also be recorded and available for 12-months post-event for both face-to-face and virtual delegates to re-watch.

+ How do I receive my CPD certificate of attendance?

Certificates will be emailed to all attendees 10 working days after the event.

If you attend face-to-face then this certificate will reflect each day that your attendance was registered.

If you attend virtually then this certificate will reflect each day that you signed in to the virtual platform with your personal account.

+ Are young children welcome at the event?

Yes, we welcome young children onsite to our conferences. Parents or carers are welcome to watch the conference from the main conference room with the other delegates.

Alternatively, we have a family room onsite. The conference will be live-streamed into the family room so parents or carers will not miss any conference content when in there. There will be onsite access to a fridge should you wish to store any baby food or breastmilk.

Should you have any further questions about bringing young children to the conference please email events@rcem.ac.uk.

+ I have more questions, who do I contact?
