For those without internet capabilities on their mobile devices, the conference schedule and details will be produced in Z-card format, available daily and part of MPI’s sustainability efforts in reducing event waste. The Pathable site, which allows attendees to create and print their personalized schedule and reach out to other delegates, has been a powerful tool. Those wishing to visit the Pathable community can make use of the Cyber Café on site, which has 20 computers available, along with two printers.
