      Creating A Session Manually

      Sessions can be added to Sessionboard one of two ways:

      1. Session Submission Form

      2. Manual Add

      Below, you will learn how to add a session as an event admin without a speaker filling out the session submission form.

      How to create a session manually

      1. Navigate to the Sessions Module within your event.

      2. Click the orange "Add" button at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

      3. Within the pop-up window, fill in all of the fields with the confirmed session information.

        1. Details: Session details

        2. Content: Session field (i.e. Powerpoint, PDF)

        3. Other: Session speakers, location, exhibitors, sponsors

          1. If a speaker, sponsor, or exhibitor does not appear when you search their name, you will need to first create them as a contact within the "People" Module or select the blue words "Manage your speakers/sponsors/exhibitors".

      Custom Fields

      If you need to add data to a custom field for your new session...

      1. Create the session (Title & Status are two required fields when creating new sessions).
      2. Once your session is created, select the pencil icon to the left of the session to open the session profile.
