As a speaker and/or exhibitor you can access the virtual environment before everyone else. You will receive an invitation for one of the AMA and platform tours if you are registered as a speaker and/or exhibitor. All other attendees can log in to the application about one week prior to the event.
– When will the platform open?
The platform will officially open one week before the event is due to happen.

This page will be updated once every week with new links, videos of the platform, exhibitors, and frequently asked questions. Got any questions we should add to this list already? Send an email to meetings@bridge2food.com and we’ll add it to the next update
– Is a VPN/company network supported?
We don’t recommend using a VPN. Since Let’s Get Digital is using video and audio services it needs to use more traffic than a regular website. Most VPN or company networks are blocking this by default. We would recommend not using a VPN or company network.
– I don’t have my login data
Please provide us with a confirmation of your system check and we’ll provide you with your login details
