For the best DevDays experience, we recommend using Google Chrome.

If you encounter audio problems, you can try Edge (Chromium based) or Firefox. You can also check these items:

The virtual sessions will be held via the Whova App and can be accessed through the desktop app or the mobile app. See below the instructions on how to access and download the app. Only registered attendees will be granted access.

On your PC or Mac:

• Click here to access the web app in your browser (Google Chrome preferred)
• Sign up using the same email address you used during registration:
  • Sign in if you have a Whova account
  • If you do not have a Whova account, you will need to create an account. Click ‘Sign up here” to create your own Whova account. Note: You may choose to add as much information to your Whova profile as you feel comfortable with. Other conference attendees will see the information you share on your profile.
  • Complete the sign-in process and start exploring!

On your phone or tablet, go to the app store for your device

• Search for Whova
• Download the Whova app to your mobile device
• Sign in using the email and password you used to access Whova on your PC or Mac
• Select FHIR DevDays 2023 (under My Events) and start exploring

If you have previously downloaded Whova onto your mobile device – and especially if you used a different email address – you must first sign out from the Whova app and then sign back in with the login credentials for this conference.

Whova should provide you this option automatically on most platforms. If it is no longer showing this option, please clear your browser cache and see if that brings it back.

No. All registered attendees will be added to the app on June 1, 2023. Watch for a notification email. If you do not have access to Whova on June 1, send an email to devdays@fire.ly.

While the choice is yours, you may wish to take a blended approach using both the desktop and mobile app.

• The mobile app has the option to search for attendees based on recommendations. The match is based upon your profile, so make sure you have your profile updated.
• Some of the fun community functions (like Break the Ice, photos sharing) and the Passport contest for exhibitors, are only available on the mobile app. Also, the Q&A and chat for a session refreshes automatically on mobile devices, while a refresh may be needed on the Desktop web app.
• Please note that presentations will be more difficult to view on a smaller phone screen so you may use the desktop instead.

The conference is visible to attendees on June 1, 2023 (prior to DevDays). This gives you time to browse sessions, build your agenda, connect to other attendees and become familiar with the app. Please make sure you logged in to Whova with the same email address as the one you used to sign up to the conference.

If you still don’t see the conference after June 1, 2023, email devdays@fire.ly

Email devdays@fire.ly and one of the meeting organizers will contact you. If you think the problem or question may be applicable to all registrants, please go to the Community tab and post the question under “Ask Organizers Anything” and we will respond.

While some companies may restrict downloading Zoom to a company computer or device, the app does not need to be downloaded to participate in sessions via Whova. Just click on the link in each live session room and you can view the presentation and ask questions embedded in the mobile or web app

We stronly recommend switching on your camera during interactive sessions.

The Meet & Greets will be held in SpatialChat. The link to access the area can be found in the agenda. As these are interactive sessions, we strongly recommend to turn on your camera and microphone.

First, check your computer or mobile device settings to ensure the volume is turned up and confirm that your sound works correctly through another web page. If those steps do not resolve the issue, try exiting Whova and logging back in.

If that fails, you might leverage the mobile app and listen to the audio via the mobile device. If you choose to do so, turn off audio in the Whova web app, to prevent interference, by:

1. Clicking the upward arrow located to the right of the Mute/Unmute icon displayed within the Zoom Host’s screen sharing
2. Selecting ‘Leave Computer Audio’
   • Dial into the session: Rather than joining audio with your computer, click the upward arrow located to the right of the ‘Join Audio” icon located in the bottom left section of the screen sharing; then select from the list of phone numbers.
   • Enable microphone and sound: if you see the following “not secure” message in your browser (see below), click on it and select the options to enable your microphone and sound.

If this all fails, try a reboot and if that doesn’t resolve the issue, contact devdays@fire.ly

Email devdays@fire.ly and we will confirm your registration. If it is a technical issue, rest assured that one of our technical staff members will resolve it quickly.

Turn off all applications except Whova. If the problem continues, contact the support team and we will help troubleshoot.

As (virtual) attendee, there are various ways to network during DevDays:

• Via the agenda at the Whova App:
  • Browse the attendee list and send messages or connect with the FHIR friends you wish to meet. In the mobile app, you can also suggest a private virtual meeting.
  • Check the community board and participate in the discussion. The community board offers the possibility to start any topic you wish to discuss and find like-minded delegates. There are also some fun and surprising ice breakers and you might learn new things about your colleagues!
  • Explore the virtual booths hosted by our DevDays sponsors. Enter to view a demo, gather information, and interact with the host. While visiting exhibitors, you can compete in the Passport Contest. If you have collected all stamps, you enter the raffle for a prize.

  • Post on social media about how you are enjoying HL7 FHIR DevDays 2023, using the hashtag #fhirdevdays and tag @HL7 and @FirelyTeam.
