“Sessionboard has been one of our most successful investments this year, making our team more efficient and allowing us to focus on the most critical components of our events.”
Emerald portfolios mix flagship conferences and awards-heavy brands — each with its own registration relationship, but shared pressure on speaker promotion, sponsor ROI, and post-event content.
Program, CRM & marketing
Emerald — events & platform
Get Sessionboard for your Emerald event. Show teams run call for papers, committee review, Awards judging, speaker readiness, transcription, Attendee Hub, and Advocacy on one program graph while registration stays on portfolio-contracted vendors. Built for Emerald X conferences and awards-heavy brands across B2B verticals.
Match your role to the job Sessionboard solves — program, content, or marketing attribution.
Every show reinvents abstract review and speaker chase — you need a reusable program layer colleagues on sister events can find.
Advocacy and sponsor amplification are manual per event — you need attributed peer shares tied to session inventory, not one-off campaigns.
Registration stays on RainFocus, Maritz, or LiveBuzz — program data should not die in CSV export after reg closes.
Transcripts and clips from one portfolio show should feed the next — speaker CRM and Media Library must persist across events.

“Honestly, I loved it! Getting everything out of the spreadsheet. It collects all the information and gives you a visual of who you might want to invite.”
Get Sessionboard for that event too — one program layer for conference and awards across your portfolio.

Emerald X brands often run awards-heavy shows — Sessionboard Awards shares CRM with conference program.

Independent show teams inside Informa-scale, Clarion-scale, and Emerald-scale portfolios.
You run CFP, speakers, and agenda for your show — and need one system from acceptance through post-event content.
You need judging, submissions, and winner promotion beside conference program — not a disconnected awards import.
You sell amplification inventory — Advocacy attributes sponsor and faculty shares to registration outcomes.

Yes — most teams pilot on a single event, then clone templates to sister Emerald X brands.
