Program (Guidebook) Questions

Guidebook is the FTTC electronic program software that houses the entire program, helps you navigate the event, and stay organized throughout the experience. With the app, you can browse session descriptions, search by speaker or topic, and build a personalized schedule with reminders for the sessions you don’t want to miss. Guidebook also gives you access to evaluation forms, venue maps, and real-time updates—all in one convenient place. To get started, download the Guidebook app.

This section will be updated soon.

Please note that you must use the same email to create your Guidebook account that you registered for the conference with. Email fttc@umsl.edu with questions.

You may have turned on one of the Guidebook filters. Be sure to turn off all filters to see all sessions. See the Filter options on the right-hand side of the Guidebook screen.

Guidebook defaults to the Central Time Zone where the conference is being hosted. Be sure to set the timezone for your account to your time zone to be able to see the correct session times. Look for the Timezone dropdown on the Guidebook right-hand menu.

 


Presenter Questions

For in-person sessions, we encourage you to use the PowerPoint or Google Slides caption feature. See the guides below for more details.

Also, please consider that some participants might have vision issues. If any components of your presentation require participants to be able to analyze images, consider having an alternative or putting participants in groups where other group members can provide a visual description of the image for their colleagues.

Yes, and we encourage you to do this if you are willing! Email your presentation file or link and/or any other handouts to fttc@umsl.edu, and we will load it into the Guidebook page for your session.

We have created separate evaluations for each session, which are linked in your session description in Guidebook. We also have overall questions on the conference evaluation, where we occasionally get individualized session feedback. And we will collect input from your session convener. If we receive at least three responses for your session, we will send you a summary of the feedback.


Miscellaneous Questions

Links for the overall conference evaluation, as well as evaluations for each session, can be found in the Guidebook eProgram. You will also receive an email after the conference that will include the conference evaluation link as well as lots of other conference wrap-up details and links.
No, we are not able to issue continuing education credits. We can create an attendance certificate if helpful. Email fttc@umsl.edu after the conference to request attendance confirmation and/or a certificate of attendance.
