Intro

To create a comprehensive event agenda, Brella supports two types of schedule slots in Brella, meeting slots and content slots. In this article, you will learn how to create a content slot. A content slot can be a session, keynote, workshop, etc. 

Create a content slot 👇

1. Navigate to the Admin Panel - schedule tab
2. Click "+New content slot" on the top right corner.
3. Add the details for the content slot
4. Once you're done, select Save & Create new (content) slot to continue creating slots, or Save & Create to return to the schedule overview. 
   • Title - the title of the session.
   • Subtitle - add additional information, like the speaker's name and title, registration, or sponsorship information. The subtitle is only seen in the overall schedule view, not the detailed view.
   • Stream link: Click here for instructions on adding virtual content to Brella.

1. • Start Time. Choose the start time of the session and add the duration OR the end time. What works best for you.
     
   •  
   • Highlight this session once the event has ended. With this tag, you can position the sessions in the order wanted on the home screen once the event is over. Go here for details.
   • Locations - essential for large or multitrack agendas. These help orient your attendees and ensure they know where their sessions are.
   • Tags - these help attendees filter for content relevant to them. Having detailed tags help attendees navigate your event with ease.
     
     ❗Note: The content order shown in the attendee view when having multiple sessions is sorted out alphabetically by the first tag of each session; if such, have the same start time.
   • Speakers - a great addition to your sessions. You can first input all the speakers and then link them to their sessions. They will be displayed under the session title. You can link speakers to sessions by selecting names from the left box to the right box. At this point, you can assign a pre-made role from the dropdown given or write your own role for the speakers. You can learn how to add speakers on Admin Panel here. All the speakers from the right box will be displayed in Brella's app (mobile and web version).
   • Content - add the session description, speaker bios, photos (max size for a picture is 5 MB), links to your event website, sponsor information, etc. You can also do basic formatting here.

🚨 Note:  links/hyperlinks must follow the below structure:

- https:// + website, i.e., https://www.brella.io

- No long links, i.e.,

If you would like to shorten links, you can use free tools such as Bitly.com.

Once you built your first content slot, you can see how it looks in the actual event at next.brella.io. The changes you make to this content slot will be automatically reflecting on the front-end site.
