As you na2021-Xstreamvigate Congress Xstream this week and on demand (through July 20), you will be using the Intrado platform to get access to payroll education, keynote speakers, the vendor Expo, networking opportunities, games, and a rich supply of RCHs.

It will all start with a link in your email that will take you to the Congress Xstream Lobby, where you will start your learning journey. From there, you can expect to find the following:

  • General Sessions that will take place in virtual theaters
  • Educational Workshop Sessions (10 of them, each with three to four workshop selections for Congress Xstream week as well as beyond in on demand offerings)
  • Networking Lounges where you can connect with other attendees and even talk to vendors in the Expo
  • NEW Face-to-Face Networking with your peers by video chat
  • A virtual Briefcase, which will be one of your most important Congress Xstream tools, where you will download important documents for the week, including certificates for recertification and documents you’d like to keep such as workshop handouts
  • The Expo is always a popular part of the Payroll Congress, and the Congress Xstream Expo will be as well. The Expo lets you interact with industry service providers to find the solutions you need. Visit their virtual booths to talk with experts, watch informational videos, and download helpful documents.
  • Vendor prizes are always a hit, so visit as many virtual booths as you can to be eligible for vendor prize drawings after the on-demand period ends
  • Congress Today’s online magazine at CongressToday.org will help you and your colleagues keep up with it all and provide you with frequent updates each day. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a minute of the action.
  • #paycon will still be there as well to help you network with hundreds of fellow attendees! Tag your social media posts, photos, and videos with the hashtag #paycon, and watch as the APA conducts daily social media contests and awards fun prizes. 
  • The Congress Xstream Party is also still going to be a part of your virtual Congress Xstream experience, so be sure to not miss DJ Shai Peri and Emcee Bryan Chan as they once again help keep the celebration going

You’ll also have the chance to interact with the APA’s new President, Bruce Phipps, CPP, and APA Executive Director and GPMI President Dan Maddux in their networking lounges.  

Congress Xstream offers up to 33 RCHs for attending the live and on-demand sessions. To receive your RCHs, you must watch each educational session in its entirety.

On-demand access to the conference and Expo will be available until July 20.
