# Setting up your conference program account
## After clicking the link to the conference platform, you will need to follow a few steps to create your profile and set up your timezone.
NB: The guidance below is for conference attendees. If you are the administrator of an event please see [The conference platform.](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/knowledge/the-conference-platform?hsLang=en)
If you experience any issues when logging in to program, and don't see what you would expect to see, watch the video below for guidance on how to remedy this.
