Pre-Event Quick Start Guide & FAQS

Q: When does the Workshop Portal open?  
A: The Portal opens on Wednesday, November 29, 2023.  You should have received an email fromregistration@ncra-usa.org on November 29th with your log-in credentials. 

IMPORTANT: Your log-in credentials are critical for all online Portal access from November 29, 2023, when the portal opens, through January 15, 2024, when the portal closes. Please keep your credentials safe and accessible throughout this period. CEs must be claimed on the portal by January 15, 2024.  

Q: What are the technical and hardware requirements for the Conference Portal? 

• Ensure the event and email domains – eventscribe.net and ncra-usa.org – are on your personal or organization’s approved list of domains, so that you can access the Conference Portal and receive important emails.
• Ensure you have the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge browser on your PC or Mac. For the best user experience, we recommend you use Google Chrome when accessing the Conference Platform. Internet Explorer is not supported. 
• Access to a high-speed internet connection is recommended to support the live stream.
• IMPORTANT: Some VPNs and organizations will block access to the eventscribe.net domain and the live stream. If you are having difficulty accessing content through your VPN, we recommend logging out of the VPN and back into the Conference Portal. You may also try logging in with your iPhone, Android, or iPad, if you have an alternative device.
• You can access the Conference Portal via a laptop, desktop computer, or mobile device.  A desktop computer will provide the best experience.
• A camera is not required. Presenters and moderators are the only attendees that you will see during the sessions that are live streamed.  The workshop is recorded and will be available for viewing after the portal closes on NCRA’s CCRE.
