Sponsors
Not every session comes through your call for papers. Sponsors sign into their own portal and add the sessions their package includes.
Add the sponsor: its name, tier, and how many sessions its package includes.
Open Speakers → Sponsors and press Add sponsor. Sessions included is the number the sponsor can add itself — use 0 if you'll add their sessions for them. Add the person who handles the sponsorship as the main contact and leave Email their portal link now switched on. Your tiers and the extra company fields you collect (LinkedIn, booth number…) are set up once under Event settings → Fields & options.
The contact opens their link and adds their sessions — answering the same questions as your call for speakers, plus who is presenting.
No password and no call-for-papers wizard: they answer your CFP's session questions (title, description, track, format, level, your own questions) in one panel, so their sessions are routed and tagged like any other. File questions are left out — collect files with tasks. The link opens their own sponsor portal (
/sponsor) with a counter like 1 of 2 sessions added. Each speaker they name gets their own speaker portal for their bio and photo. Under Team they can invite a colleague, who gets their own sign-in link by email. Someone who is also a speaker switches between their speaker and sponsor portals from the account menu.Their sessions land in Submissions like any other — marked with the sponsor's name.
By default they arrive as Pending, so you review them like any proposal. If every paid slot is guaranteed, switch Event settings → Sponsor portal → New sponsor sessions start as to Accepted and they go straight to the agenda's unscheduled tray. On the public programme they read Presented by the sponsor.
Freeze changes before you print the agenda.
Set a date under Event settings → Sponsor portal. After it, the sponsor portal shows their sessions read-only and tells them to email you for changes. You can still edit everything yourself.
