Sessionboard Product Update: Import Contacts and Sessions = More Time Savings

New Feature November‍

This month Sessionboard is rolling out a new feature every week to make your event planning life easier than ever before.

First up, we’d like to introduce… Contact and Session Importing

What we heard:

Many event organizers already have their speakers and sessions selected before they start using Sessionboard. They want a way to quickly and easily import this information into the platform so they can start building their event schedule and managing their content.

Our solution:

We're excited to announce the launch of Contact and Session Importing, a new feature that allows you to do just that!

Here's how it works:

1. Upload a file of your contacts (speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, etc.) into Sessionboard.
2. Upload a file of your session list with speaker emails.
3. Sessionboard will automatically link your speakers to their designated sessions.

If you don't have your sessions built out in a list yet, you can create them within the platform and link them manually.

The benefits of using Contact and Session Importing:

Save Time: Importing your contacts and sessions into Sessionboard is a breeze, so you can get started with your event planning faster.

Reduce Errors: Importing your data eliminates the risk of human error when manually entering information, especially thanks to our import view data verifier. It alerts you to any discrepancies and makes it super simple to correct them before you submit.

Update As You Go: As you gather your contact and session details, you can simply upload your updated files and Sessionboard will intuitively amend your data.

Migrate Your Old Data Quickly: If you're already using another platform to manage your contacts and sessions, you can easily export your data and import it into Sessionboard. If you're looking to migrate from your previous system, now you can do it seamlessly.

Why we built this:

At Sessionboard, we're always looking for ways to save event organizers time and make their lives easier. We know that Contact and Session Importing will be a valuable tool for organizers who need a streamlined way to get their data into Sessionboard.
We hope you enjoy this new feature, and stay tuned for next week’s release!
