Creating A Session Manually

Sessions can be added to Sessionboard in 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 and click on Submissions.

  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. Files: Session field (i.e., PowerPoint, PDF)

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

      1. If a speaker, sponsor/exhibitor, or chairperson/moderator does not appear when you search their name, you will need to first create them as a contact within the “Contacts” Module. 
        For step-by-step instructions, see how to Add & Delete a Contact here.
