Webex App and Engagement Information

Our conference app, Webex, creates an interactive and engaging experience right from the comfort of your mobile device, home or office.

To get the most out of the Webex experience, we strongly recommend you log in and create your profile before the day of the conference. As an incentive, we have a special offer from Southwest Airlines, one of our conference sponsors! Any attendees who log in and create a Webex profile by Feb 29, 2024, will be entered in a drawing to win one roundtrip ticket to any published domestic or international destination that Southwest Airlines serves, valid from 3/10/24-3/10/25.

Important tips:

• Chrome is the recommended browser for Webex (guide to download Chrome).
• We have already added you as a user to the Webex platform, but you will need to create an account here. (Note: You need to use the email address that you used to register for the conference.)
  • If you participated in the Women Leaders Conference in 2022 or 2023, your login credentials will be the same. You can reset your password by choosing “Forgot Password.”
• Set your computer/network permissions by following the steps outlined in this article or reach out to your company network administrator to ensure full access to Webex and the conference. If you are signing in from a work computer, your company’s security may block the Webex app.

Once you are logged in, you can create your profile, begin adding connections, write on the social wall, set up your agenda and swing by the sponsor booths.

If you experience any trouble, we can help. Reach out to us at: scemktg@uwm.edu.

Is the wrong audio or video device connected to your computer?

If you have more than one device (such as a Bluetooth headset and wired speakers), your computer may be trying to use the wrong one. Double check that your audio input/output is set to the correct device in the operating system.
