Three methods to add presentations

Feel free to choose the method that best fits your needs. You can use these interchangeably.

• Adding presentations individually: The method we’re covering here is useful when your event contains presentations of different lengths and types. It’s also great for adding supplemental presentations.
• Adding presentations via the Calendar page: A faster method that lets you also visually work out your schedule.
• Importing presentations: If your event has a large number or presentations, this is a time-saving option.

Adding a single presentation

Step 1. Head to the Presentations tab, and choose Add Presentation:

Step 2. Give the presentation a Title.  Add a Room location.

The first presentation you add, you’ll type in the room name. MeetMax saves this room to reuse:

When you add future presentations, you’ll have a drop down menu of all the rooms you’ve added, and you can add new ones any time:

Step 3. Next, choose whether this presentation will Span rooms – or, prevent other presentation rooms from being booked during this time slot:

For example, if you choose Yes here, the presentation will look like this on the presentation grid. No other presentations can be booked alongside this keynote:

If you choose No, the presentation grid will look like this. You could book another presentation at the same time as this keynote:

Step 4. Add the date, time, and duration of this presentation.

Then, choose a Type. Learn more about Types and Type Labels here.

Step 5. Next, there’s a group of optional fields:

   • Track: Use this if you’re creating multiple presentation tracks.

   • Is Draft: Set this to Yes if you need to revisit this presentation's settings.

   • Is Universal: Set this to Yes if you want this presentation to automatically appear on all participants’ schedules. For a keynote presentation, like we’re creating here, you’d likely use this option.

   • Capacity: If the presentation has a maximum number of attendees, include that here. Then MeetMax will prevent sign-ups after that point.

Step 6. Will this presentation have a Breakout session afterward? Clicking Yes lets you set the time, duration and location:

Step 7. Add a Description of the presentation. Attendees will be able to see this information. 

Step 8. Finally, you’ll assign one or more Presenters to this presentation.

If the presentation is a panel, you can also designate a moderator here:

Step 9. Click Submit to save!

You can customize the layout of the Presentations page participants see.
