Categories are optional topics that help you organise talks and help attendees find relevant content. They appear in the talk form only when categories are enabled for the event.
Create a category
Go to Content & Schedule > Categories.
Select Add Category to create the categories you want to use for this event.
Assign categories to a talk
Go to Content & Schedule > Sessions.
Select Add Session, or choose Actions > Manage Session next to an existing session.
In Details > Organisation, select one or more options under Categories. Your event’s terminology may change that label; course and on-demand events label it Category.
For an existing session, select Save and Close. For a new session, finish the setup and select Save on the Media step.
How categories are used
Attendees can use categories to filter talks in the event schedule.
Public category pages can group talks and speakers around a topic.
Tickets can include or exclude access to selected categories. See Setting up tickets for your event for the wider ticket workflow.
A talk does not require a category or speaker in order to be saved. Add them when they help customers understand and navigate your programme.
