New conferences

Before you can collect speaker evaluations in SpreaView, you need to create a conference. All conferences are created within the context of an organization, which acts as the umbrella for your events.

Prerequisite: Select the Right Organization

Every conference belongs to an organization. If you’re part of multiple organizations, make sure you are working under the correct one.

• Use the cog wheel icon in the top-right corner of the screen to switch organizations.
• The current organization is always shown next to the cog wheel for reference.

You can only create a conference if you are assigned to at least one organization.

Creating a New Conference

Once you’re in the correct organization context, follow these steps to create a new conference:

1. Go to the Conferences section in the sidebar.
2. Click Create.
3. Fill in the required details (see below).
4. Click Save to create your conference.

Required Information

When setting up a new conference, the following details are mandatory:

1. Event Name

The official name of your event or conference (e.g., Tech Summit 2025). This name will be visible in dashboards and reports.

2. Date Range

Select the start and end date of your conference.

• For a one-day event, simply select the same date twice.
• The date range determines when sessions can be scheduled.

3. Default Session Duration (in minutes)

This value is used when manually adding sessions later.

• The default value is 50 minutes.
• The end time of a session is automatically calculated by adding this duration to the session’s start time.
• Example: If the default is set to 45 minutes, a session starting at 10:00 will end at 10:45 by default.

4. Default Review Window Duration (in hours)

This defines how long each session can be reviewed after it starts.

• The default value is 4 hours.
• Example: If a session starts at 14:00 and the review window is set to 4 hours, attendees can submit evaluations until 18:00.
