Agenda management - Stages & Slido sub-tab

Agenda Management - An introduction

Every event on the Laia platform consists of key General Settings and prerequisite Agenda elements before it can be deployed for use by your audience. You begin in the General Settings tab by setting up the event title, start and end days/times and a web domain link so attendees can access the homepage. 

Next, you must set up other preliminary elements of any event, such as an agenda (containing the days, times and locations of the sessions), presenters/speakers and session details. The "Agenda" tab on the left navigation menu allows you to curate all aspects of your event programming.

Since your agenda will need the prerequisite details such as days/times, stage locations, presenters and session details, we recommend you setup your Agenda content in the following order to have these elements ready in advance so they can be inserted into the required fields when customizing your event’s programming details:

• Event Days - You begin by adding days to your agenda. 
• Stages & Slido -  Next you add stage details indicating where your sessions will be held. You also add your Slido URLs here as well.
• Presenter information - Continuing on you add your presenter details including names, avatars, bios etc.
• Content - Finally you add and curate your session content

Agenda Management STEP 2: Stages & Slido sub-tab 

Next, you will create and curate your Stages. Stages are the rooms, auditoriums, halls, special areas at your venue where event activities, presentations and demonstrations will be held. You will notice that one stage is system created for you by default. Feel free to edit it and/or create additional ones as needed.

Adding a stage 

In the “Agenda” tab and Stages & Slido sub-tab click on the "Add new" button and you will see a form on the right side where you fill in the stage details. Enter a stage “Title” and you can also attach a Slido link (URL) that will be associated with this stage making it Slido accessible.  

“Associated content” displays the streams that are associated with this Stage. You do not set up Streams here. Streams must first be set up in the streams screen and then added to a venue afterwards.

After entering the stage details, click the Save and publish button.

To edit an already created Stage, click on the Stage name in the list and edit the details as needed.

Note: You can also assign multiple stages to one venue location if necessary.
