The National Strip-Tillage Conference wants to make the conference experience as exceptional for attendees as possible, which is why we offer a mobile app through EventsXD for our 2018 event. This easy-to-use resource can be accessed in the app store on iOS, Android and Windows mobile devices.

PLUS, app users will be able to receive real-time event notifications. To enable push notifications, click on the "Settings" icon of the NSTC app's home screen, and check "Allow Push Notifications."

Get The App

1. Download the EventsXD app from your device's app store.
    
2. Upon opening the app, you will be prompted to log in.
   
   Users with an existing EventsXD account (or EventBoard, the app's former name) can log in using their credentials. If you forgot your password, simply click "Forgot Password?" and enter your email address, when prompted, to reset your login password. You will receive an email with instructions for creating a new password. Once reset, you may log in.
   
   If you do not already have a login created for EventsXD (or EventBoard), click the "sign up" button to enter the email address and password you would like to use to sign into the app. Your password should be at least 7 characters long and contain at least 1 special (non-alphanumeric) character. After creating your login, you will be prompted to log in using your newly created account.
    
3. Once logged in, click the magnifying glass icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen to search for "National Strip-Tillage Conference 2018." (Note: After selecting the NSTC event once, the EventsXD app will add it to the "My" tab of the EventsXD dashboard so you can quickly access the event upon future logins.)
