ARM Sidekick

Your show-day guide for ARM 2026, from Red Egg Technology
Next show: Tue 10/6, Acne & Rosacea, 6:00 PM ET

Welcome, Doctor! ๐Ÿ‘‹

How the evening works

You'll join us in Zoom. Attendees watch the polished show inside Cvent, never in Zoom, so you won't see them and they can't jump on camera. Many talks are pre-recorded, and live segments (Welcome, Product Theaters, Panel) come straight from your Zoom camera. We handle graphics, videos and the stream. You just teach.

๐Ÿ“… Tuesday 10/6 Agenda (Acne & Rosacea)

Arrive in Zoom: 5:30 PM ET (4:30 PM CT). We do a quick camera, mic and slide check with each of you.
