I downloaded the app last year, why don't I see the current convention?

Why is my app taking so long to download?

The app may take up to 30 seconds to download and update when first installing the latest event. Please allow the app time to download the convention data. 

How do I reset my password?

You can’t reset your account password on an iOS device. If you have access to a laptop or desktop computer, go to www.tmea.org/appreset to set a new password (you’ll also need to be able to access your email from a non-iOS device). You cannot complete any part of the password reset process on an iOS device. Note that you don’t have to be logged into an account to use the app, but if you created a My Schedule or marked other records as favorites, these will not sync across other devices unless you are logged in.
