NOTE: The recap above has been manually entered, but the Timeslots listed below are dynamically generated. Shift-enter was used to nudge the first three lines into the preview space. The Featured Image is set under the Settings (gear icon), Event section, Featured Image segment. You may also wish to adjust the Excerpt description.

This is a good place to put a description of your keynote speaker’s topic and/or a biography.

For your actual conference, you will probably want many different events instead of a single one that occurs many times. However, this single event was put on the example schedule many times in order to demonstrate how the combination of categories and tags and time slots helps the system build the schedule table (without having a dozen different items to individually update or delete when you’re ready for production). When you have made your actual conference events, you could either unpublish this one (to keep the directions available to a logged-in editor) or delete it.

Use your Event Tags and Event Categories (also found under the Settings gear icon and Event section) to identify:

  • Which conference this event is associated with (default tag: Conference Events)
  • Which year this event is happening (in this case, the category 2023)
  • If you have a multi-day conference, you will need to add the specific days under the category of the year for easier schedule-organizing and archiving.
    • The Schedule page uses the Day 1, 2023 and Day 2, 2023 categories to be able to display the Day 1 table separately from the Day 2 table.
    • You might want to use a precise day such as June 6, 2022 rather than the generic day-1 / day 2 labels in order to avoid category collisions with future events.)
  • An event can recur more than once if you have an ongoing series. You will likely want different events with different speakers for your actual event, but this one has been scheduled to recur multiple times in order to illustrate the properties of the table-building system.

Additional Event features such as a URL for additional information are found in the editor window below the Timeslots section in a segment of the interface which is also called Settings. Doing an in-page search (control-F) to search for “subtitle” will jump you to the relevant part of the interface.

NOTE: You may wish to use in-page links to your speaker’s biography. After the event, if it was recorded, you might also wish to use the Custom Event URL to link to your event’s recording. (However, that can also be done within the event page.)

NOTE: If you use Duplicate This to make an additional event based on this one’s structure, make sure that you edit its time slot(s) appropriately. When setting afternoon times, use 24 hour notation — 1:00 will be interpreted as 1 am, whereas 13:00 will be interpreted as 1 pm.
