Different Types of Session Visiblity

Learn the differences between using the hide option, making sessions private, and hiding sessions from attendees that are not allowed to the session.


Draft Sessions

Use this option if you just created your session, but you have incomplete details and don't want to show it anyone yet.

  • Create the session in Event Content > Agenda

  • Click Save as Draft at the bottom of settings menu.


Hidden Sessions

Use this option if you don't want to delete a session but don't want it to be accessible to anyone but admins.

  • Go to Event Content > Agenda

  • Click the eye icon under the Status column

  • When the icon is no longer green, that session is hidden.

  • Only admins can see it on the agenda.

  • Only admins can enter the session.

  • Attendees and speakers cannot enter the session even if they have the direct link and if their ticket is allowed to enter the session.


Private Sessions

Use this option if you have sessions for selected individuals like VIPs.

To set the session as private:

  • Open the session for editing in Event Content > Agenda

  • Go to Advanced Settings

  • Enable Set session as private.

  • Only admins, attendees pre-registered for the session, and speakers assigned to the session can see it on the agenda.

  • Only admins, attendees pre-registered for the session, and speakers assigned to the session can enter the session.

  • Attendees with a ticket allowed to enter the session but not pre-registered cannot see or enter the session.


Hide This Session in the Event Hub Agenda if the Attendee Is Not Allowed to Join the Session

Use this option if you don't want to confuse attendees with restricted tickets by showing them only the sessions where they are allowed to join.

This option appears when at least 1 ticket type is not allowed to join the session.

  • Open the session for editing in Event Content > Agenda

  • Go to Advanced Settings

  • Deselect the tickets that are not allowed to the session under Ticket Types

  • Enable the toggle for "Hide this session in the event hub agenda if the attendee is not allowed to join the session."

  • Only admins, speakers (even not assigned to the session), and attendees with allowed tickets can see the session in the virtual event hub agenda.

  • Only admins, speakers assigned to the session, and attendees with allowed tickets can enter the session.

  • Everyone can see the session on the event landing page agenda.
