The Agenda & Speakers Feature
This feature allows you to create the whole schedule for your event. Setting up an agenda for your event allows you to answer questions for your attendees, like where is the next session? Who are the keynote speakers? What sessions are the most interesting for me? Designing your event agenda helps you organize your program and allows attendees to select which sessions they want to join.
If you want to set up an agenda, please ensure you have at least one of the session types selected in Event Details for the Agenda & Speakers tab to show in your admin console.
