In 2007 we introduced the online Personal Scheduler to resounding applause.

Almost 70% of 2007 attendees used the scheduler and would prefer this tool in the future.  The Personal Scheduler was brought to you courtesy of Emerson Smart Wireless and we will be sure to provide this handy tool for you in the future.

--A few notes to help you get started--

Click on the PERSONAL SCHEDULER button above to log into a webpage containing all the sessions available for the conference.  The scheduler is intuitive and easy to use - play around and decide the best schedule for your needs.

1. Login using the same user name and password you used to register for the conference.
   (note:  If you do not have a user name and password, you will need to register first.  Simply click on "Registration" on the left navigation bar of this page and you will be directed to our registration page).
2. Click on the "Session Catalog"
3. Click on "Add to my Interests" beside any sessions you are interested in attending.

There are several ways you can view the sessions - Choose from the list:

• "All"--To View all Sessions
• "Type"--To View all Sessions by Type (i.e. Workshop, Short Course, Educational Services Course)
• "Audience"--To View Introductory or Intermediate Courses
• "Day"--To View Scheduled Courses by Day
• "My Interests"--To View any Courses you have selected under "Add to my Interests"

    4.   There are two ways to populate your schedule:

• Click "Auto Scheduler" to add the sessions you have selected for your "My Interests" list.  Note:  Please limit your "My Interests" choices to 30 or less, and then run the Auto Scheduler.  You can then add another 30 sessions to your "My Interests" and then run the Auto Scheduler again, until all of your "My Interests" are scheduled.    If you add more than 30 interests at a time, the "Auto Scheduler" will not perform correctly.
• Click on the left navigation pane of the page on "My Schedule".  This will show your schedule spreadsheet for the whole week of the conference.  You can block out any personal time by clicking on the "Schedule Links" at the top of the page.  To fill out your schedule you will simply click on the "Add Session" listed on the time and day in your spreadsheet you wish to attend a session.  A listing of what is available will come up and you can select from the list. (note:  Clicking on the Session ID will bring up a listing of all the available times that session will be offered).  Then click "Add to Schedule" to populate your personal schedule.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  The Educational Services courses do require pre-registration in order to reserve seating and equipment.  To pre-register for these courses, navigate to the course in the agenda that you wish to enroll, and add them in your schedule under "My Schedule".  The scheduler then adds you to the course register, and automatically makes seating availability adjustments.

With a record number of sessions and attendees for this year's Emerson Exchange, we hope you find this new Personal Scheduler tool useful with maximizing the value you receive from the conference.
