The Blackthorn Event Navigator app is a mobile app that enables Attendees to navigate and manage their agenda at multi-session Events.
Attendees will receive an org-specific invite link from the Event Organizer. If an Attendee has never downloaded the app, the link will prompt them to do so. Attendees then enter the email they used to register for the Event. A Magic Link or OTP code will be emailed to them so they can complete the login process. Once logged in, they can see the Event’s agenda, Sessions, other Attendees, and more.
Attendees will remain logged in until they have been inactive for 24 hours, at which point the app logs them out.
