Re: meetecho preparation.

[Greg Wood <[e-mail]>]

David,

At the bottom of the scheduling form, there is a “Schedule” button that needs to be clicked to complete the scheduling process.

Once you've scheduled a session, you'll be automatically brought back to a web page that shows all sessions you created for the working groups you chair. (This page also provides options to delete sessions and create new ones.)

If you didn’t see this and it still doesn’t work after trying again (or you run into further difficulty), help is available directly by sending email to:

[e-mail]

Hope that helps,

Thanks,

-Greg
