Introduction
A Fourwaves account allows you to register for events, submit to events, and access your registrations, submissions, and other event information.
Before you can register for an event or submit to an event, you must create a Fourwaves account or log in to an existing account.
If an event organizer adds you as a committee member or reviewer, an account is created for you using the email address they provided. You must then activate your account before you can access Fourwaves.
Create your account
If you're not logged in when you click Register or Submit on an event website, a Login required to register or Login required to submit window will appear.
You can choose:
Sign in if you already have a Fourwaves account;
Create an account if you don't have one yet;
Go back (or Go to event website) to return to the event website.
To create an account, click Create an account, enter your email address and click Continue.
You'll receive an email from Fourwaves with instructions to continue creating your account. You'll be asked to enter your:
first name;
last name;
affiliation;
password.
Then click Next step. Once your account is created, you'll be able to continue to the registration or submission form.
Activate your account
If you've been added as a committee member or reviewer, a Fourwaves account is created for you using the email address provided by the event organizer.
You'll receive an email from Fourwaves asking you to activate your account. Click Activate my account in the email. The activation link is valid for 30 days.
During activation, you'll be asked to enter your:
first name;
last name;
affiliation;
password.
Click Next step. On the Complete your profile page, you can add optional details such as a bio or a website, then click Activate and sign in.
Once your account is activated, you can log in to Fourwaves and access the event and the features available to you based on your role.
Already have an account?
If you already have an active Fourwaves account, select Sign in when prompted and enter your email address and password.
Make sure you use the same email address associated with your Fourwaves account. If you've been added as a committee member or reviewer, you must also use the email address the organizer used when adding you.
If you've forgotten your password, click Forgot password? on the login page.
After you log in, you'll be able to continue to the registration or submission form. Your name and email address will be pre-filled from your Fourwaves account.
Register several people, such as your employees
Each person who attends an event needs their own Fourwaves account and their own registration. One person can't hold several registrations for the same event.
To register other people, fill out one registration form for each person. Enter that person's details and email address in the form.
If the email address differs from the one you're signed in with, a Using a different email? window appears. Click Continue if you're filling out the form for someone else.
Fourwaves creates an account for that person and sends a confirmation email to their address. The person clicks the link in that email to activate the account. The registration is not linked to your own account, and you can't edit it after you submit the form.
See who hasn't activated their account
Organizers can see which committee members and reviewers haven't activated their account yet. These people appear with the name Account pending activation.
For committee members, click Settings > Committee.
For reviewers, click Peer review > Reviewers.
The name replaces the person's real name until they activate. Fourwaves sends the activation email when you add the person. The app has no button to send it again. If a person lost the email, ask them to check their spam folder. If it's still missing, contact support@fourwaves.com.
Not receiving the email?
If you're not receiving the account creation or activation email:
Check your spam or junk folder.
Make sure you entered or were added with the correct email address.
If you still haven't received the email, contact support@fourwaves.com.
For security reasons, Fourwaves displays the same confirmation message after you enter your email regardless of whether an account already exists with that email address.
