Frequently asked questions

Can I list the panelists on the event page?

Include panelist names, titles, and bios in your event description. This helps attract registrations by showcasing the expertise your audience will hear from. A strong panelist lineup is your best marketing tool.

How do I manage audience Q&A registration separately?

Use a single event page for the overall panel discussion. If you want to collect audience questions in advance, mention in the description that attendees can email their questions to a specific address after registering.

Is this suitable for virtual panel discussions?

Perfect for them. Select the virtual or hybrid format and include your video call link in the event description. Registered attendees get access to the details, and you get an accurate count of expected viewers.
