Add Sponsors to Different Areas of the Event
Sponsors are all about advertising their logo and brand to your attendees. Knowing how to maximize sponsor placing is important to get more exposure. In the sponsor cards below, the sponsor logo appears at the left corner, and the sponsor card image is the background. You can also add the sponsor's website URL to the card so that it's clickable.

Add Sponsors to the Session Carousel and Sponsoring Company Tab
To make the sponsor appear in the session carousel and sponsoring company tab inside the session, you'll need to create your sponsor first. Then, in the session's Advertising settings section, select the sponsor. The carousel appears on top of the chat area, and the sponsoring company tab appears under the live broadcast.
Open the session details in Agenda & Speakers
Scroll down and click Advanced Settings
Scroll down again until you find Sponsor under the Advertising section
Select the sponsor you want to add to the session
When you add a sponsor to a networking session, it won't appear in the session carousel. It will only appear in the session box.
Notes:
The image in the session carousel will still show even if it's turned off for the lobby carousel.
As a default, the images appear in the order they are listed, but you can Randomize Carousel Display. Go to the Sponsors tab, click Configure Sponsors, and enable Randomize Carousel Display to show sponsors in a random order. This applies to the lobby and session carousels.
What Happens When the Sponsor Is Clicked?
If you add a sponsor URL and someone clicks on the Sponsor Card or the Carousel Image, a new tab will open that will redirect to the sponsor URL. This also works if they click the sponsor's carousel image from the carousel.
You can check in the analytics how many times the card is clicked, but other than no other information is collected. If you want more interaction and analytics, you may want to add them as exhibitors instead. You can read about it here.

2. Event Hub - Sponsor's Tab in the Lobby and Lobby Carousel
