Attendees should ensure they have the latest version of Chrome or Firefox on their device or via Safari on IOS and of course, a stable internet/wi-fi connection. Swapcard does not work on Microsoft Edge.
When will I receive the instructions for attending the virtual event?
You should receive an email from Swapcard once the platform goes live on December 1, 2020. This is sent from noreply@swapcard.com and contains a Magic Link to take you to your profile setup.
What if I did not receive the email containing my Magic Link
All the emails sent from Swapcard are sent from noreply@swapcard.com. It is possible that this email ended up in your Spam folder. If not, check that the email address you are using is correct and contact support@swapcard.com. They will then send you a Magic Link personally.
It is sometimes possible that the email address noreply@swapcard.com with which we send our communications is blocked by your professional mailbox. If several people from the same company participate in the event and none of them receives the Magic Link, please ask your IT department to authorize the email address noreply@swapcard.com to facilitate future communications.
