Spaces: Follow Businesses
in the App Store for iPhone or Google Play Store for Android.

2. Log in and explore
After opening the app, you’ll be asked to log in or create a free Wix account.
You can sign up quickly using Google, Apple, Facebook, or your email address.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll land on the NSA Conference Home screen. Look for the Charlotte conference banner. From there, you’ll be able to access key conference information, updates, links, and app features.
If you haven’t downloaded the app yet, start with the invite link above. It will guide you through the download first, then bring you into the NSA Conference area once the app is installed.
Request access
When you join the NSA Conference app area, your request will need to be approved by our team.
This helps us keep the app space limited to NSA Members and ensures everyone inside the app is part of the NSA community.
Once your access has been approved, you will receive an email confirmation letting you know you’re in.
3. Build your personal schedule
Tap the Schedule tab to see all sessions across all four days. Browse by day, or look for the track badges (Adults, SLPs, Teens, Kids, Parents, Chapter Leaders) to find sessions that are right for you.
Tap the star icon next to any session to add it to My Agenda. Your starred sessions are saved so you can quickly check what's coming up next — no more scrolling through the full schedule between workshops.
With 80+ sessions to choose from, building your agenda ahead of time makes a huge difference. Check the Session Recommendations topic in Chat to see what others are excited about.
4. Join the conversation
Once you are inside the NSA Conference App, tap the Chat tab to connect with other attendees.
Please note that the Conference Chat requires a separate request to join. Even if you have already been approved to access the app, you will still need to request access to the chat area.
The chat is exclusive to verified ticket holders, so our team will confirm your conference registration before approving chat access. Once approved, you will receive an email letting you know you’re in.
Inside the Chat tab, you’ll find different Group Topics to help you connect before, during, and after the conference:
First time at the conference — introduce yourself and get tips from returning attendees.
Meet ups and plans — find a dinner group, plan outings, coordinate rides.
Session recommendations — share which sessions you're excited about.
Coffee runs and quick breaks — find the best cafés near the Westin.
Parents corner — connect with other families.
SLPs connect — network with fellow speech-language pathologists.
Ride sharing / Airport — coordinate transportation to and from CLT.
You can post text, photos, videos, and even create polls. The chat is live before, during, and after the conference — start connecting now!
