The Event Content menu is where you create the whole schedule for your event and add other details for each session or activity. Here you can add the basic session information, customize the sessions, add speakers for each session and add other information to further filter the sessions by adding tags or tracks.

Tags and tracks can be used to filter sessions based on categories you create. This makes it easier for attendees to look for sessions, especially if you have multiple sessions over multiple event days. Tags are basic labels, while tracks have more options such as adding track colors and sub tracks. After creating your tags and tracks you can assign them to sessions through the Agenda tab.

Locations
