Navigating the CW Dashboard

Welcome to the CW Dashboard, from here you can edit your profile, manage your contact preferences and view your CW event registrations.

CW Members can also use the dashboard to update their organisational details, manage their membership and upload content to the CW website.

We’d like to encourage everyone to log on, check their details and update their marketing preferences. If you don’t know your password, you can reset it here.

If you are a contact of more than one organisation on the CW website, you can switch between them by clicking on the button in the top menu with your organisation's name and choosing a different organisation. Your personal details, including primary email, will be the same for all organisations you are a member of.

If you encounter any issues navigating the site or need to change any details on your account, please contact website@cambridgewireless.co.uk.
