Tax Meeting App: How To

Installing the App (iOs, Android) and Finding Our Event

If You Do Not Have Eventsential App Installed

• Visit ambar.org/taxapps, tap the relevant 'iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch' or 'Android phone or tablet' then follow the instructions to install the app; or go to the app store from your mobile device or iPad (App Store for iOs devices, Play Store for Android Devices), search for Eventsential, and install the Eventsential app. 
• We use the Eventsential app for all of our Section Meetings. Install it once and you can use it for every meeting!
• Open the Eventsential app. It will ask if you want to 'Switch to your custom American Bar Association icon' - tap Continue.

• You will receive an Update App Icon? prompt. Tap Change Icon then Ok.
• You will see the conference name under Upcoming Events. Just tap on the conference (in this case, 2024 Midyear Tax Meeting) then tap Get Started.
• If you have an iPhone or iPad, the app will ask if you would like to receive notifications. We recommend Enabling notifications, as we use them to keep attendees up-to-date on important events and meeting updates. To do so, tap Allow then Continue
• As the final step, select your Time Zone Preference. We recommend selecting Use Event's Time, as this will use the local time at the event.
• We recommend exploring the app from here - the Schedule, at the bottom of the screen, is the most important part of the meeting app. See the What Can I Do with the App? section below for further information.

If You Already Have Eventsential App Installed

• Open the Eventsential app on your device. You will likely still be viewing the last meeting you attended. Tap the More icon in the lower right, then Change Event. Then follow the instructions above starting with the 'You will see the conference name under Upcoming Events...' step.

Using the App from a Computer

• Using the meeting app from a laptop or other computer is simple! Just visit this page or click the Meeting App link below. You don't have to install anything, the app works on your browser. This desktop version of the app contains all of the same information as the mobile app.
