Interested in being a 2025 Conference Volunteer? We love our volunteers who make FTTC so great! We are always looking for session conveners, help desk support, proofreaders, caption editors, etc. Students, this can be a great way to learn the behind-the-scenes of a virtual conference! Email fttc@umsl.edu if you are interested in helping out and attending for free. 

We do not have fee waivers or complimentary registrations available this year. The fee is waived automatically for faculty and staff participants from our gold-level institutional sponsors, planning committee members, and presenters. 

Volunteers who sign up before the October 10th deadline also have the fee waived. Please reach out to fttc@umsl.edu if interested in volunteering. We are sorry, but we cannot accommodate last-minute volunteers.

Check your junk mail. If you don’t find the conference confirmation email there, reach out to us at fttc@umsl.edu, and we’ll be glad to forward relevant information and make sure we have your email address correct for future correspondence. We will do our best to respond within 24 hours.

You can cancel or change any registration date(s) up to October 10, 2025. Just email fttc@umsl.edu, and we can cancel your current registration and refund your fee. You can then re-register with your corrected registration options. 

For more minor registration changes (e.g., change a name or email) that do not impact the fee paid, just email fttc@umsl.edu, and we will be glad to update your registration information.

There are no registration refunds after October 1, 2025.

We have asked our presenters to use the PowerPoint and Google Slides captioning features. But we cannot guarantee this will be available at all sessions.

In-person sessions will not be recorded. However, the Keynote presentation will be recorded and made available to registered participants after the conference.

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.

See Guidebook Help here.

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.

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

• PowerPoint with live captions
• Google Slides with live captions

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.

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.
