* If this is your first time using Whova, you will need to sign up for a Whova account. Please be sure to use the email address you used to register for the SAS Conference.
* If you already have a Whova profile, please make sure it was based on the email address which you used to register for SAS 2026, otherwise you will need to sign up for a new account.

There will be a lag between the time of registration and access to Whova as these systems are not automatically integrated. (These systems are separately managed so access to one platform does not immediately or automatically guarantee access to the second). Please contact sas@podiumconferences.com if you are concerned about the length of time that has elapsed without access to Whova.
