Welcome Page / Dashboard Setup

If you want to set up a landing page for your show, that's easy to do with your show's Dashboard Setup! Set a header image/message for your show and highlight your Sponsors.

These settings affect the layout of the event dashboard on the desktop.

Header Image

  • Ideal image size: 1100w × 220h.
  • This will appear across the top on the public event dashboard on the desktop version.

Dashboard Title

  • If left blank, the title of your event will be used.

Event Greeting

  • If this message is left blank it won't appear at all.
  • Use the notepad to customize an event greeting that is visible to everyone. There are several formatting options available along with the ability to insert links and images.

  • To insert an image in the “Event Greeting” field, open the image in a web browser. Copy the link to the image under “Source”. Enter a description.

Note: You can leave the dimensions blank if you're unsure. Checking “constrain proportions” is optional.

Display Sponsor Logos? (on/off)

  • Display the logos of your Sponsors that you've entered into your Sponsors List.

Note: There need to be Sponsors with logos entered into the system.

Sponsors Title

  • Use this space to call attention to your sponsors.

Sponsors Message

  • If there's more you'd like to say about the companies sponsoring your event, use this space to share that information.

Discussions / Discussion Board Settings

Here you can select one out of the three options:

  1. Allow all Attendees to start discussions: Turning this on will allow Attendees that are logged into your event to start new discussions.

  2. Allow all Speakers to start discussions: Turning this on will allow Speakers that are logged into your event to start new discussions without requiring an additional attendee login account.

  3. Allow all Exhibitors to start discussions: Turning this on will allow Exhibitors that are logged into your event to start new discussions without requiring an additional attendee login account.

Note: If you want to give special Attendees this privilege without giving it to all attendees, you can do so in the Attendee Access Manager.
