The Products tab is where an event becomes the specific kind of event you are running. Twelve products; one is always on; the other eleven are yours to pick from.
Products are offered to your organization first — your agreement determines the catalog available to you — and then switched on per event. Switching one on reveals its tab and its settings. Switching it off hides them again without deleting anything.
You can configure a product when you enable it or come back later; almost every setting is editable while the event is running.
| Product | What it does | Typical decision |
|---|---|---|
| Always on Internet Uploads |
Speakers and authors upload their files ahead of the meeting. Upload window, per-presentation cut-off, and automatic reminders. | Cannot be turned off — it is the base product on every event. |
| Call for Abstracts | Solicit, review, score, select and convert abstract submissions — individual abstracts or whole session proposals — into your program. | On if your program is built from submissions. Off if you already know who is speaking. |
| Review & Approval | Content review of the files speakers upload — assign reviewers, run revision rounds, approve or reject. | On for accredited or regulated content. Distinct from abstract review. |
| Posters | The poster content line: author uploads, board numbers, optional review, optional attendee questions. | On if you have a poster hall or an online poster gallery. |
| Papers on Demand | Pre-recorded presentations: authors upload a video against a window, delegates watch on demand. | On if part of your program is watched rather than attended. |
| Abstract Viewer | Publishes the communicated acceptances as a searchable, branded collection — the always-current abstract book. | On if the accepted abstracts should be readable online. Needs Call for Abstracts. |
| Poster Viewer | The branded public poster gallery — templates, a viewing window, public or attendees-only access. | On if the poster hall should have a digital twin. Needs Posters. |
| Paper Viewer | The branded on-demand video gallery, streaming inline on the same template machinery. | On to give the on-demand program a front door. Needs Papers on Demand. |
| Attendee App | The delegate-facing mobile web app — agenda, speakers, personal schedule, posters, handouts. | On if delegates need the program in their pocket. |
| Beacon | Digital signage around the venue: room screens, wayfinding, poster sessions, announcements. | On if you are putting screens in the building. |
| Session Feedback | Questionnaire-based session ratings collected from delegates, with results and export. | On if you need evaluation data — accreditation, sponsor reporting, speaker scoring. |
| Open Mic | Audience questions submitted from a phone and moderated at the front of the room. | On for interactive sessions and panels. |
Where each one is configured
Most products open their settings in a side panel from the Products tab. Three send you elsewhere, because their settings belong with their working screens:
- Call for Abstracts — settings live on the Abstracts tab, as its first sub-tab.
- Review & Approval — settings live in the Review Center.
- Beacon — the real configuration is per screen template, on the Beacon tab.
The three viewers configure from their side panels too, but their look comes from templates: your organization keeps a library of gallery templates, and each event publishes one instance from a template with per-event overrides. A template can also be scoped to a single event, and promoted to the library when it earns reuse.
What depends on what
Products are mostly independent — you can enable them in any order. The three viewers are the exception: each needs its content module switched on, and the switch itself refuses until it is. Beyond that, a handful of features need another product, and a few need data rather than a product.
Three routes, and you can take more than one on the same event.
- Running a call for abstracts — chapters 06 to 12.
- Importing a program you already hold — Chapter 13.
- Planning it here, with or without abstracts — Chapter 14.
Chapters 15 onward apply however the program got here.
This guide follows the journey. The Product Catalog covers the same twelve modules as a reference — one entry each, with use cases, capabilities, and every setting listed alongside the value it defaults to. Reach for it when you are configuring; reach for this one when you want to know what happens next.
