Quick answer

MULTILEARNING hosts ePosters beside its learning management system — audio narration, auto-zoom, and managed oral poster sessions, with authors in the vendor's platform. Sessionboard keeps posters on the program graph: call for papers, committee review, one speaker portal for every author, a branded searchable gallery, and per-poster engagement analytics.

Sound like your team?

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

Poster program chair

Accepted abstracts export to the ePoster vendor, then every late change means reconciling two systems.

Scientific program director

Posters sit in an LMS while the program lives in your event stack — two logins, two author populations.

Education director

Consent and withdrawal handling stretches across an email chain between your team and the vendor's.

Communications lead

Poster traffic accrues to the vendor's LMS domain, and authors get no share kit to promote their own work.

Why teams choose Sessionboard

Where MULTILEARNING stops, and where program teams keep going with Sessionboard.

MULTILEARNING — where it ends

  • Audio-narrated ePoster viewing

    Author-recorded narration, section-by-section auto-zoom, and embedded video with adaptive streaming.

  • Oral poster session management

    Managed onsite oral poster sessions with timed screen locks and multi-presenter flows.

  • LMS and CME ecosystem

    A learning management system for webinars, accredited e-learning modules, and selling meeting content access.

The narrow case

  • The society already runs its education program on MULTILEARNING's LMS and wants posters in the same catalog
  • Author-recorded audio narration on every poster is the defining requirement
  • Poster hosting is contracted as a service, with the vendor's team managing submitter queries
The way forward

Sessionboard — program, CRM & content

  • Posters on the program graph

    Poster tracks in call for papers, shared multi-round review with platform abstracts, and program numbers that never go stale — no export/re-import cycle.

  • One speaker portal for every author

    Poster authors and platform faculty share one identity — bios, uploads, consent, and communications in the portal they already use.

  • Branded gallery on your program

    A searchable poster hall on your event's look with instant search, bookmarks, author share kits, and QR signage links.

  • Compliance and analytics built in

    Versioned consent, disclosures, embargo with teaser mode, withdrawn abstracts excluded automatically, and per-poster engagement reporting.

When Sessionboard wins

  • Posters share a call for papers with platform sessions and need the same review rounds and committees
  • One speaker portal should carry poster and platform authors — bios, materials, consent, communications
  • The gallery must live on your brand with engagement analytics your committee can read
  • Registration stays on Cvent, Cadmium, or RainFocus — the program layer should not fragment further

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.

Event MCP

Ask your AI about the event — not a spreadsheet export

Sessionboard connects to the assistants your team already uses through MCP. Sessions, speakers, and committee data stay in Sessionboard — Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot read it live.

  • OAuth sign-in — no API keys to copy or rotate
  • Live program graph — sessions, speakers, review rounds, readiness gaps
  • Works beside registration and capture tools you already run

Frequently asked questions

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

For the poster program, yes — acceptance through published gallery with analytics. MULTILEARNING's broader LMS (accredited e-learning, content sales) is a different product category; societies running CME on it often move the poster program to Sessionboard while the LMS stays.

Posters render crisply in the browser with AI plain-language summaries and ask-the-author built in. Supplementary media lives on the same session record via the Media Library rather than a separate hosting silo.

Authors upload in the Sessionboard speaker portal — the same place they submit bios and headshots. Accepted abstracts already carry titles, authors, and program numbers, so there is no export to a second vendor.

Poster sessions are scheduled on the published program beside platform talks, with the same speaker records and session pages — not a parallel calendar in another system.

Yes. The gallery persists year-round on your brand, and multi-event organizers keep a poster library across annual meetings.

MULTILEARNING prices ePoster hosting as a per-meeting service alongside its LMS offerings. Sessionboard pricing follows meeting and submission volume — request a demo for a scoped quote.
