Quick answer

Sessionboard connects digital posters and ePosters to the full program graph — call for papers, multi-round review, speaker portal, scheduled poster sessions, Attendee Hub, and optional live capture. ePostersLive fits when interactive poster display and hall logistics are the entire scope — not unified platform sessions, committee ops, and post-meeting content reuse.

Sound like your team?

Match your role to the job Sessionboard solves — program, content, or marketing attribution.

Poster program chair

ePostersLive owns the hall UX — platform faculty CRM and abstract committee still live elsewhere.

Scientific program director

Posters and platform talks share one committee calendar — you need acceptance and agenda on one record.

Speaker operations

Poster authors re-entered each cycle — one speaker portal for posters and platform sessions.

Content marketing

Poster hall analytics without post-meeting reuse — Attendee Hub and Media Library on the unified program.

Why teams choose Sessionboard

What ePostersLive does well — and where Sessionboard is the better fit for program teams.

ePostersLive — limited fit

  • ePoster hall operations

    Interactive poster display, hall statistics, and onsite kiosk patterns for large medical congresses.

  • Poster presenter experience

    Mature author upload and presentation tooling focused on scientific poster sessions.

  • Med/sci poster heritage

    Long-run deployments at association meetings with heavy poster programs.

When to stay

  • Poster hall display and interactive boards are the entire buy — no platform session or speaker CRM requirements
  • Abstract review and speaker ops already contracted elsewhere and will stay siloed
  • Single-format poster-only virtual fair with no formal committee workflow

Sessionboard — program, CRM & content

  • Posters on the program graph

    Poster tracks in call for papers, shared multi-round review with platform abstracts, and published agenda — not a parallel author database.

  • Speaker CRM across formats

    Portal, bio, materials, and communications for poster authors and platform faculty on one identity.

  • Attendee Hub and discovery

    Searchable poster program beside platform sessions for onsite and remote attendees.

  • Content marketing built in

    Optional live capture, Media Library, Advocacy tracked shares, and Create on the session record.

When Sessionboard wins

  • Posters share a call for papers with platform sessions and need the same review rounds
  • 500+ submissions across posters and talks with chair and COI requirements
  • Speaker portal, Attendee Hub, transcription, or Advocacy required after acceptance
  • Registration stays on Cvent, Cadmium, or RainFocus — program layer should not stop at poster export

What Sessionboard owns

Program, speaker CRM, content — plus Advocacy and Dispatch marketing tools competitors treat as afterthoughts.

Program layer

Call for papers (CFP), multi-round review, chair workflows, conflict of interest (COI) tracking, and published agenda — work competitors leave in spreadsheets.

Speaker CRM

One faculty record: portal, bio, materials, and communications across years — not a fresh CSV every submission cycle.

Content marketing

Live transcription, Media Library, clips, Attendee Hub, and Create on the session record you already manage.

Advocacy

Peer shares from speakers, sponsors, and faculty — tracked links to registration when sessions are accepted or confirmed.

Dispatch

Internal team distribution — automated share recipes for staff when content is ready, beside Hootsuite or Sprout for always-on social.

Ask your AI about the event — not a spreadsheet export

Sessionboard connects to the assistants your team already uses through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Sessions, speakers, and agenda data stay in Sessionboard — Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot read it live.

Connect in minutes

Sign in with OAuth — no API keys to copy. Ask about session status, speaker readiness, committee progress, or agenda gaps in plain English.

Frequently asked questions

Evaluating Sessionboard against ePostersLive for the program layer — not a forced rip-and-replace.

ePostersLive leads on dedicated interactive poster hall UX. Sessionboard fits when posters are one format in a broader scientific program — abstract committee, speaker portal, platform sessions, Attendee Hub, and content reuse on one graph.

Yes — poster submissions use the same call for papers, review workflow, speaker portal, and Attendee Hub as platform abstracts. Poster sessions appear on the published program beside platform talks.

Yes. One annual meeting poster track is a common entry — especially when platform sessions and posters should share committee and speaker ops.

Sessionboard prioritises program integration — acceptance, scheduling, attendee discovery, and content reuse. Highly specialised hall kiosk UX may pair with export paths during transition.
