Use Featured Talks to highlight sessions on your event homepage. This is separate from checkout: when attendees choose sessions during registration, talks marked as featured are ordered ahead of other eligible upcoming sessions.
Mark a talk as featured
Go to Content & Schedule > Sessions.
Open the session's Actions > Advanced Settings.
In Visibility and Display, enable Is Featured?, then select Save.
Add the homepage component
Open the homepage and select Edit Page.
Open Components > Dynamic Content and drag Featured Talks onto the page.
Select the block and open Properties. Adjust its title, intro, text size and alignment. Properties save automatically.
Choose the talks to show
Use Featured talks automatically to show active, non-cancelled talks marked as featured, in date order. If none are featured, it falls back to eligible event talks.
Where Talks to Show > Choose specific talks is available, choose up to eight active talks under Featured Talks. They appear in your selected order and do not have to be scheduled yet.
A replay or past session can appear on the homepage. An unscheduled talk can have a public detail link in a library or course; other event types need a date for that link.
How checkout differs
Homepage component choices do not replace registration eligibility. Checkout uses the attendee's applicable ticket and category rules and its upcoming-session selection rules. Marking a talk as featured changes priority among eligible talks; it does not grant access. If session selection is disabled, attendees skip that checkout step and the homepage component can still be used.
