Program types
Grundlagen
The following program types are available when creating a program.
Sessions
Lectures/Events
Abstracts
You can use categories to define the event formats (e.g. keynotes, lectures, workshops and poster sessions) that you are offering at your conference. Each program item you create is then assigned to a category.
Session
A session allows you to schedule multiple presentations on a specific topic and/or within a defined time slot.
Example:
The example session starts with an introduction (type: lecture/event), followed by three presentations (type: abstract) and ends with a discussion (type: lecture/event).
> Plan oral sessions
> Plan poster session
> Plan persons within a session
Lecture/Event
The program type "Lecture/Event" is used to plan lectures, usually with invited speakers, e.g.
Keynote lectures
Plenary talks
Workshops
Panel discussion
or for planning non-scientific events, e.g.
Coffee break
General meeting
Discussion
Abstracts
Abstracts are only planned in sessions. This requires that the abstracts to be scheduled have been accepted. How to accept abstracts is explained here:
