Tags and Tracks

What is a Tag?

If you're familiar with hashtags (#) used in social media, you'd understand a tag because that's exactly how it works. A tag is a keyword that relates to your session.

For example, if you have a session called "Making Money Out of Your Hobby," your tags could be DIY, crafts, and many more, depending on what would be discussed during the session.

What is a Track?

Categorization is important as it helps your attendees browse through your sessions. This is where tracks come in. Tracks are used to categorize or group your sessions. The main purpose of adding these is for your attendees to easily recognize the sessions that they would find interesting.

For example, if you have several sessions that focus on a specific topic (e.g., Customer Service), it's best to add relevant tracks for each so you're attendees can easily sort the sessions out.
