What Tracks are
Tracks are a feature used to group related sessions for better organisation of events. This is useful for Event organisers to plan and manage their events, especially multi-track events, and for attendees to find sessions they’re interested in.
An event can have many sessions and tracks. A track can have many sessions. A session will always belong to the event, and can be part of a track.
Examples of how this feature can be used
Scenario one: Tracks with combined sessions
The special events manager for National University of Singapore is organising a virtual orientation event for their new students for the year.
The event will begin with an introduction speech with Q&A for all incoming students by the president, and then different majors will break off into their own sessions. Psychology majors, engineering majors, economics majors, and other majors will have their own series of sessions with their professors. The event will end with a closing speech for everyone. In this scenario, the virtual orientation event is the event that contains all sessions and tracks. Each majors’ group of sessions is a track attached to the main event.
Grouping sessions by major makes it easy for students to find their major’s sessions, and professors can search for their sessions by subject.
Scenario two: Tracks-only event
Interns at The Ministry of Innovation and Technology are planning a virtual event for the public to showcase the Ministry’s plans on integrating Artificial Intelligence into public services.
There will be three different topics: public safety and security, healthcare and wellness, and education and learning. By organising these topics into tracks, attendees will be able to easily find the topics that interest them. Speakers and event planners will also be able to find their sessions easier too.
