Rooms
The first step is to create rooms for the event. The rooms are displayed in the graphical program planner in the order in which they are created or sorted by you.
See: Add rooms
Categories
Categories are typically used to define the conference session types, e.g. keynotes, oral sessions, poster sessions, workshops, etc.
If you are not working with session types, you can also use the categories to define session topics / tracks, e.g. Eventtopic 1, Eventtopic 2, Eventtopic 3, etc.

Topics
Topics or tracks can be optionally used to assign an additional keyword to the program items in addition to the categories.
See: Add topics / tracks
Duration (of meetings and presentations)
A default value is entered under "Timeslot for presentation" of meetings or presentations. For example, if meetings usually last 90 minutes, enter 90; if presentations usually last 10 minutes, enter 10.
You can overwrite these times at any time during planning in the relevant work views.
