Event Sessions

Overview

Event sessions allow organizers to structure their event agenda into multiple segments such as talks, panels, networking blocks, or workshops.

Each session can include:

  • a session title and description

  • speakers

  • start time and duration

  • a session-specific location

Sessions help attendees understand the event flow and know what to expect during the event.


Adding a Session

You can add sessions from the Sessions tab on the event page.

To create a session

  1. Open your event.

  2. Go to the Sessions tab.

  3. Click Add session slot.

A session setup window will open.


Session Information

When creating a session, you can define several details.

Session title

Enter the name of the session.

Example:

  • Welcome & Check-in

  • Keynote Talk

  • Networking Round

  • Workshop Session


Session description

Provide a short description explaining what the session includes.

This helps attendees understand the purpose of the session.


Speakers

You can add speakers from your community.

Speakers added to a session will automatically:

  • join the event as co-hosts

  • receive the same permissions as event hosts

If the speaker invitation has not yet been accepted, their status will appear as Pending.

Pending speakers will not appear publicly until they accept the invitation.


Session time

Define the session schedule:

  • Start time

  • Duration

Example:

  • 6:30 PM – 7:00 PM

  • 7:00 PM – 7:15 PM

Sessions will automatically appear in chronological order in the event agenda.


Session location (optional)

You can assign a session-specific location if the session happens in a different place than the main event.

This is useful for:

  • multi-room conferences

  • parallel sessions

  • breakout discussions

Editing a Session

You can update session details at any time.

To edit a session

  1. Open the Sessions tab.

  2. Click the edit icon on the session card.

  3. Update the session details.

  4. Click Save changes.

Changes are immediately reflected in the event agenda.


Deleting a Session

If a session is no longer needed, you can remove it.

  1. Open the session editor.

  2. Click Delete session.

The session will be removed from the event agenda.


Viewing Sessions (Attendee Experience)

Attendees can see the full event schedule inside the Sessions tab.

Each session card displays:

  • session title

  • session description

  • speakers

  • location (if available)

  • time range

Clicking a session opens a session details window where attendees can read the full description and speaker information.


Speaker Invitations

When speakers are added to a session:

  • they receive an invitation to participate in the event

  • they must accept the invitation to appear as confirmed speakers

If the invitation is not yet accepted, the speaker will appear as Pending in the host view.

Pending speakers are not visible in the public event schedule.


Viewing Speakers

Attendees can view session speakers.

From the speaker list they can:

  • Connect with the speaker

  • Send a message

This helps attendees build connections directly from the event agenda.


Best Practices

Break the event into clear segments

Instead of one long event block, structure your agenda into meaningful sessions.

Use clear session titles

Titles should quickly communicate what the session is about.

Keep descriptions short

Provide just enough information to help attendees decide which sessions interest them.

Assign speakers early

Adding speakers to sessions helps attendees understand the value of each session.
