Signing in to the site does not register you for the meeting.
Go to the Registration page to register for the meeting. This website is completely public except for the Attendee Directory, which is hosted in the GSA Connected Community. By registering for the meeting, you are automatically added to the Attendee Directory (the directory is restricted to attendees only).
Be sure to log in to the Connected Community, visit your profile page, and enter information about yourself. You can choose to share as much as you wish with others (or as little). The default settings mimic your conference badge (face, name, affiliation, city/state). Only those who you reach out to connect with can see more details. To change the settings, go to My Account > Privacy Settings.
