The confusion is understandable. I’d written the post BFORE the devweek, and updated it DURING the week, but now AFTEr it some of the info no longer makes sense. I will revise this post to read better now AFTER the fact, which should avoid confusion like you’d expressed.

Stewart, first, Adobe is indeed aware of that problem. It came up at the end of the first daylong session today, when someone else pointed it out.  It was not SOLVED, but the suggestion was that folks should “clear their browser cache” (don’t you love it when that’s suggested?)

…or I would propose more simply: try visiting the URL you’re using in another browser, or in an incognito/private window. Does that work? 

Even if not, while you can’t login and “schedule sessions”, were you at least provided an email when you FIRST registered, and did that email offered a link for joining the online sessions? I got one, and that’s all you need, really–at least to VIEW the sessions. The link seems generic to all the devweek sessions.

Perhaps you (or others) are thinking, “yeah, but if I’m not registered for a GIVEN session I may not be sent the recording for that session”. Maybe, but I suspect that instead Adobe will provide to all registrants to the devweek the recordings for all sessions–whether each day or at the end.

But since I can’t know that, I didn’t propose it above. I also don’t know whether a) the URL for the sessions and b) the URL for any recordings will be made public by Adobe, which is why I have not proposed (in the post) to offer that.

But I hope something in my reply here helps get you going….again, at least to attend. Let us know how it goes, if you think to.

The registration confirmation email does NOT have a link to the live sessions.  It only confirmed my attendee details.  I had already tried a different browser (Edge instead of Chrome) and I tried it on a different laptop as well (personal laptop instead of work laptop).  I just tried Incognito mode and same result.  No ability to login and get a link to the sessions.  I also tried on Firefox and got the same result.

I give up. I don’t work for Adobe, so can’t solve the problem. And while I don’t want to share the link publicly without Adobe’s permission, there’s only 90 minutes until the first session (which happens to be mine), so I will share it here: https://my.adobeconnect.com/coldfusionroom/

Let us know if you see the “Adobe ColdFusion Room” there, once you get through whatever steps Connect has you do (as you may know, Adobe Connect is their presentation platform, predating Zoom and others).

Please see the last paragraph…especially the bolded content. 🙂

I should’ve made a bet how long it would be before someone still asked. No offense intended, of course! I know, too many words. What’s a writer to do? … 🙂

OK, I just added a sentence to the first paragraph, addressing that…by pointing folks to that last one. This way, if somehow things change (like if Adobe makes the URL public), I can add that there and cover both references to the topic. I guess THAT’s the least “a writer can do”. 🙂

Thanks Charlie! I got caught up in reading the schedule and never finished reading the rest. My bad! I signed up, added a few sessions (particularly yours and the rest of the sessions today). I expected that they’d email me a link to join the session (per the confirmation notification I received when signing up), but that never came. And there doesn’t seem to be any link within the “My Schedule” section either. So, I’m not sure how to join. I know your session is nearly over with only 10 minutes remaining (sad about that). I would have loved to have attended, but at this point…I’ve no idea how I could. Nor do I see anyway to join the rest of the sessions I’ve signed up for today. Ugh!

Sorry, I wasn’t able to see this when you posted it (since it was in the midst of my session).

But I CAN offer that about an hour before the event, in another comment thread here above yours, someone else shared the same lament. And I offered there the link, though again Adobe didn’t intend that it be sahred publicly. As I started that comment there, “I give up” (on avoiding sharing that). The link is https://my.adobeconnect.com/coldfusionroom/ 

It’s indeed sad that this is causing trouble. We’ll see how things go with respect to the recordings. At least if everyone can see those, they can get the value o fthe talks (if not the direct interaction during the talks).

Thanks again, Charlie! I’ve caught this with enough time to catch the last 15m of the last talk I wanted to see today. Ugh! Oh well, I hope I’ll get a hold of the recordings. 

BTW — I’m not receiving any email notifications whatsoever, so I’m only getting your responses because I’m being proactive at checking this page. 

Hmm: if you are saying you get no emails from Adobe, then maybe you clicked (intentionally or inadvertantly) their “unsubscribe” link. In that case they would no longer email you.

I’ll confirm that yes, I get an email from this blog whenever anyone posts a comment in a thread I’ve participated in–including yours today. This is done based on whatever is registered as the email address for your Adobe account (which you must log in with to comment).

If nothing else, if you have ANY other email address, try registering at the devweek site using that (it does NOT use your Adobe login). If you get THAT email, then it would seem this is your issue–and perhaps what others are suffering. Of course, if one ubsubscribes, it’s a hard problem for Adobe to know about unless you can reach someone that can confirm, “yes, you chose to unubscribe to our emails”.

Maybe someone will offer more.
