Quick answer

WordPress powers marketing sites and microsites for many associations and event teams. Sessionboard provides session and speaker embeds that pull live agenda, faculty, and session detail from the program graph — so WordPress pages stay current when chairs change sessions without manual CMS updates.

Sound like your team?

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

Registration owner

Registration stays on your incumbent platform — but program and speaker ops should not stop at CSV export.

Marketing ops

Another point tool mid-contract — Sessionboard public API keeps the program graph authoritative.

AV / production

Capture vendor locked for the season — write transcriptions and media back via API instead of re-keying.

Executive buyer

Rip-and-replace is a non-starter — you need displacement on program depth while registration stays put.

What Sessionboard delivers natively

Keep WordPress mid-contract when you need to — Sessionboard owns call for papers, speaker operations, and content marketing on the program graph.

WordPress — their lane

  • Marketing website CMS

    WordPress themes, pages, blogs, and SEO on your domain.

  • Content marketing publishing

    Editorial workflow and plugins your web team already operates.

  • Public site branding

    Design system and navigation visitors expect from your association or event brand.

Sessionboard — built in

  • Authoritative program graph

    Sessions, speakers, rooms, times, and materials from program team workflow.

  • Session and speaker embeds

    Live widgets for agenda grids, speaker lists, and session detail — update when program changes.

  • Full program depth

    CFP, review, transcription, Attendee Hub, and advocacy beyond what embeds alone provide.

How the data flows

Program and session data live in Sessionboard — with optional sync to and from WordPress.

  • Program team publishes agenda and speakers in Sessionboard.
  • WordPress pages embed Sessionboard session/speaker blocks — live data, no re-keying.
  • Last-minute session changes originate in Sessionboard — embeds refresh for attendees browsing the marketing site.
  • Optional — Attendee Hub and transcription links from WordPress session pages for on-demand content.

Integration status: Sessionboard session and speaker embeds work on WordPress via iframe or script embed — program graph is system of record. EventSites (Sessionboard native sites) available for teams replacing WordPress over time.

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.

Native first — add their tool only if you must

Sessionboard already includes transcription, attendee experiences, and content marketing. A separate subscription makes sense only in narrow cases.

Keep WordPress only when

  • Marketing mandate to keep WordPress as public site CMS
  • Program team already runs CFP and speakers in Sessionboard or plans to migrate
  • Need live agenda on marketing site without duplicate CMS entry

Sessionboard alone — usually the answer

  • WordPress agenda pages are manually updated from Excel after every chair change
  • Need abstract review and speaker portal — not just public session display
  • Post-meeting content and advocacy should live on the same graph as embeds
