Session Builder not working?

All, just received this,

Schedule Builder Now Live
Again this year, attendees must pre-register for sessions. Without pre-registration,
you will not be guaranteed a seat in any breakout sessions.View a full listing of sessions, organize your days, and log-in to your VMworld account
to sign-up for the sessions you want to attend. Most sessions will be repeated at least
once and we will be adding additional sessions based on popularity, so if it is full,
check back.

However when I try and register for a session it continually tells me I must login before I can register. Tried it on two different browsers and get the same error. It seems the vmworld.com site is not pushing login info to the 'activeevents' site. Is it just me?

Same issue here. Doesn't seem to be a way to login to the session builder. Also, why no calendar view of the sessions?

That bit is always hard with the multiple sessions and the promised adds but I will just settle for getting into my top 5

I get the same result too - I've sent email to the VMworld team to address this. I recall last years builder didn't work right off the bat either

Re: Session Builder not working?

Works fine here. What you need to do is search on top right "Schedule builder", click on the first link which is below. Enter your name and login.

Hope the plan saves.

Good luck.

Yes- that does work now - however I was in the middle of making the schedule and the site seems to have crashed. I guess we are all doing the same thing at the same time

Also when I try to add a seesion when there is conflict a pop-up appears with nothing but Yes and No buttons. Pretty sure it is meant to have the conflict listed asking if you want to add/drop.

Anyone else seeing this?

Re: Session Builder not working?

Yes - I am seeing that -- and it also seems to list a course selected that is repeated on multiple days as scheduled. When picking a class that overlaps that time I get a conflict error again

What you need to do to see the weekly plan is mouse over on "My Account", My Profile. Click on "Schedule" on the left. Click on the day you want,like Monday. That will sort all the sessions by time.
