Good Morning 2016 RAW Conference Attendee,
All conference attendees should have been sent their credentials from Animal Professional. You should have received an email from them with credentials that are good for (1) year of the conference content. If attendee had credentials from one conference and they expired, then attended another conference with their same email then their credentials (username & password) would be reactivated. Having said all that, if any conference attendees didn't get their credentials, still does not have access you can always contact Animal Professional at support@animalprofessional.com and they will help get you situated. Thanks.
