In this article, we'll take a look at Event Engagement's track and session pages, giving your organization and attendees a better understanding of their layout and features, helping you get the most out of your event.

Track overview

While there are several ways to access a track, one of the best is to browse an event's track list from the All Tracks page, which is what we're going to focus on in this article.

1. Navigate to Tracks > All Tracks in the top navigation.
2. Click a track title to view its home page.

TIP: If there are a lot of tracks, use the menus above the list to filter the displayed tracks.

Track home page

A track's home page comprises three main areas (refer to the image below):

1. At the top is the navigation menu, giving you access to each of the track's pages and subsequent details and resources. For example, click the DISCUSSIONS tab to stay up to date on the conversations happening among the event's attendees (to participate, you have to join the track) or the LIVE SESSION SCHEDULE tab to see the track's upcoming live sessions.
2. The area below displays optional content admins can add to the track home page. To add this content, click Settings > Additional HTML Content option and use the WYSIWYG editor to add text, images, links, etc. (the Settings menu is located to the right of the track title at the top of the page). Refer to the Add HTML content to a track Home page section of this article to learn how to add this content.
3. The rest of the home page is dedicated to widgets that automatically populate the most recent discussion posts, upcoming live sessions, and uploaded session recordings and other resources. These widgets make the home page a great place to easily keep up with any new activity in a track.

NOTE: To learn how to showcase your sessions in the FEATURED SESSIONS widget, see How to Feature a Session on a Track Home Page.

Session overview

As you'd expect, the best place to view and interact with all of a track's sessions and resources is from the track itself. To access a track:

1. Navigate to Tracks > All Tracks in the top navigation
2. Click a track title to view its home page.

TIP: If there are a lot of tracks, use the menus above the list to filter the displayed tracks.

From a track's home page, its:

• live sessions are listed on the LIVE SESSION SCHEDULE tab
• and recorded sessions and other resources are listed on the RECORDED SESSIONS & RESOURCES tab.

NOTE: The upcoming live sessions for ALL tracks are listed on the CONFERENCE SCHEDULE tab, located in your top navigation.

Live sessions

The LIVE SESSION SCHEDULE tab lists all of the track's live sessions. While some basic information is provided for each live session, click a session title to access its home page for even more details.

A live session's home page let's you know:

• when it's occurring,
• how to attend (e.g., conference call-in number or online login directions),
• and, perhaps most importantly, allows you to add a reminder about the session to the calendar of your personal email platform (i.e., in Outlook, gmail, etc.). Refer to the Add the session to your personal calendar section below for more information about this process.

Add the session to your personal calendar

An important feature on these pages is the ability to add a live session reminder to the calendar of your work/personal email platform (e.g., Outlook, gmail, etc.).

To do so:

1. Click the DOWNLOAD TO YOUR CALENDAR button.
2. An event.ics file downloads to your browser. Click this file to open it in your work/personal email platform.

3. Click the Accept button to add the session to your calendar. This will help you keep track of all the session's you plan to attend during the event.

NOTE: The example above is for Microsoft Outlook but the process should be similar for most email platforms.

Recorded sessions/resources

The RECORDED SESSIONS & RESOURCES tab lists all of the track's embedded recording sessions, external recording sessions, and other uploaded resources (PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, etc.).

While some information is provided for each session, click a session title to access its home page for even more details and access to its resource(s).

TIP: If there are a lot of sessions, use the following two menus above the list to sort/filter them:

Home pages for recorded sessions & resources

The home pages for embedded and external session recordings and other resources includes (refer to the image below):

• Its full description and session details
• Access to the uploaded file:
  
  
  • Video recordings, whether embedded or externally linked, include a video player right on the page for easy viewing
  • Uploaded resources like documents can be downloaded via the Download button in the Attachments area
    
    
• At the bottom of the page are any:
  
  
  • Tags associated to the session/resource you can click to view other related sessions/resources
  • Comments people have added (click the Add button to the right to post your own)
  • Related resources/links admins have added

NOTE: For security reasons, video files cannot be downloaded; this ensures individuals can't download one of your presentations and share it with those not registered or participating in your event. On the other hand, other uploaded resources, like PDFs and PowerPoints, can be downloaded and shared.
