A session is one item on the Schedule — like a talk or a working session. When you edit a session you can add a description, links, documents, and a list of related sessions.

Nothing is saved until you click Save. Clicking Cancel throws your changes away — so save before you leave the page.

Use this to connect this session to other sessions in the Convening that go together. It’s helpful when sessions are part of a series, split into multiple parts (like Part 1 and Part 2), or cover related topics an attendee would want to take together.

Linked sessions appear in the Related Sessions area of this session’s page, so attendees can jump straight to the others without searching for them.

  1. Start typing in the Filter sessions box to find a session by name.
  2. Check the box next to each session you want to link.
  3. Repeat to link as many related sessions as you need.
  4. Uncheck a box to remove that link.

Links only show on this session. They don’t appear on the sessions you link to. If you want another session to list its related sessions, add them on that session too.
