You can check-in in at activities by tapping the tag associated with the activity – just ask the staff where to find it. You can also check-in at events by scanning the QR code.

Connections in Ascent are mutual, so if someone taps your wristband with their phone OR you tap theirs, then your connection will appear on both of your timelines. Once you are connectee, you will be able to see their profile information and they will be able to see yours. You can also delete the connection from their profile screen; this will remove the connection from both of your timelines and you will no longer be able to see each others profiles.
