Event attendees look for the agenda & schedule whenever they visit your event website. In fact, the agenda plays an important role in the decision-making process.
Under the agenda & schedule tab of your dashboard, you can add sessions as per your event planning. Every time you create a new session, there’s are options to enrich it with details.

Exhibitor Management-

Online exhibitor management isn’t a new practice in the event industry. Event listing platforms have already made it easy for the exhibitors to request booths online and for the organizers to quote the booth prices.
The same practice can also be done for virtual events as well. Event planners can make a virtual floor plan for their event on the FLOOR.
Exhibitors can request a booth from the 10times website where the event is listed.
Once confirmed, event planners can publish the exhibitor details on the website. This provides much-needed exposure to the exhibitors. Event planners can also share personalized login credentials to the exhibitor for easy & quick onboarding.

When it comes to your event planning, Speaker management is another important part of your content management strategy.
So many sessions during a single event & so many speakers withing each session- it’s not easy to manage it all in one go.
You can use your dashboard to define speaker roles for each of the session that’s going to get live on FLOOR. You can directly send mail invitations to the speakers right from your dashboard.
The speaker details that you put in each session also get reflected on your event website and 10times listing page. It’s needless to say that speakers are the center of attention for any event. As an event planner, you must have a strategy to leverage their popularity for your event.
