For Clarion event and marketing teams

Sessionboard for Clarion

FDIC, DTECH, POWERGEN, Enlit, ITC Vegas, Coffee Fest, and Infocast already run on Sessionboard.

What you already have, and what is new

Call for papers, speakers, and sessions on the program graph. Transcription and Advocacy for marketing. LiveBuzz keeps registration and the event app.

Call for papers into the agenda

Call for papers into the agenda

Speakers submit in the portal, the program team reviews, sessions land on the grid. FDIC and DTECH already run this, and a sister franchise can copy it.

Speakers that persist into year two

Speakers that persist into year two

Bios, headshots, and materials stay on the person. Next year's POWERGEN starts from last year's speakers, not a spreadsheet after registration closes.

Transcription and Advocacy for marketing

Recordings transcribe onto the session. Clips and Advocacy share packs go to speakers and exhibitors from that record, ready for the next registration push.

Agenda into LiveBuzz

  • Agenda from acceptance through show day, then out to the site or LiveBuzz.
  • Org dashboards for pacing across Clarion brands.

Marketing and sponsorship teams

Speakers and exhibitors already exist on the program.

  • Transcription on the session, clips cut from that recording.
  • Advocacy share packs for speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors.
  • Site embeds with live preview and the sort your brand site needs.
  • Exhibitor logo controls that match speaker headshot rules.
