Do you have parallel presentations or tracks happening in your event? 

Or, are you looking to connect multiple sessions of your event together, like a networking lounge, the main stage, and a breakout space all in one event?

Then Remo's Event Directory feature is for you!

With an Event Directory, you can link several Remo events together into a single directory. Your guests can then use that directory to navigate easily and smoothly between all of your linked events in both Conversation and Presentation Mode.

This article covers:

• Setting up your Event Directory
• Jumping between events
• Frequently asked questions

Before we begin setting up your event directory, make sure you've already created all the events you would like to link. For more information on how to create your event, please check out this article.

Setting up your Event Directory

1. Head over to your My Events dashboard

2. Under Event Directory, click the button 'Link Events'

If you have already created an event directory, click the button "Create Event Directory" to create a new one

3. Enter a name for your Event Directory in the text box

As you build your Event Directory, you can look at how this will look in your event using the preview on the right-hand side.

4. Time for the fun part – select the events you'd like to link using this directory! Simply click in the box and select one of your already created events from the dropdown menu.

Only ongoing and upcoming events will be listed in the dropdown menu. You cannot link past events.

Important Note when Linking Private Events: Only guests added to the private event's guest list will be able to see this event in their event map dropdown. If a guest is not added, this private event will not appear in their event map dropdown. Private events are marked with a lock icon:

You can link events to multiple directories. Guests in these events will see all linked events, regardless of directory in their event map dropdown. Events that belong to multiple directories will have a link icon as shown:

5. If you'd like to link more than 2 events, click 'Add Event'. You can also rearrange the events into your preferred order by dragging and dropping the events. To remove an event from your directory, click the trash icon.

The number of events you can link in an Event Directory depends on your Remo plan. For more information, please feel free to reach out to our Support team at [email protected].

6. Once you are happy with your completed Event Directory, click the blue 'Create Event Directory' on the bottom right.

7. If you need to make further edits to your Event Directory, hover over your created Event Directory and click the pencil icon. Similarly, if you'd like to delete your Event Directory, you can click the trash can icon.

8. If you'd like to create another Event Directory, click the 'Create Event Directory' button at the top of your screen.

The number of Event Directories you can create will depend on your Remo plan. For more information, please feel free to reach out to our Support team at [email protected].

Jumping between events

Once inside your event, hosts and guests can easily navigate between your linked events by clicking "Event Map" at the top of their screen and selecting the event they'd like to jump to.

Easy right? And the same dropdown menu is also available in Presentation Mode for guests to use!

Please note, event hosts will be able to see both ongoing and upcoming events inside the event directory. Guests will only be shown ongoing events (as soon as a linked event becomes live, this event will automatically appear).

Frequently asked questions

• How many events can I link to in the Event Directory?

The number of public Remo events you can link into an Event Directory will depend on the Remo plan you are currently on. If you need more, please contact our support team ([email protected]) with your requirements.

• How come I can't see some of my events in the dropdown menu when setting up my Event Directory?

Only events that are either Ongoing or Upcoming will be shown in the dropdown menu when building your Event Directory (past events cannot be linked to).

• What does the lock or link icon mean when adding events to my Event Directory?

The lock icon just marks if the event you are linking is private. If it is a private event, the event will only appear in the Event Map to guests who have been added to the private event's guest list (for more information on private events, please refer to this article).

The link icon is to mark any events that have been added to multiple directories. If you hover over the link icon, you will also be able to see which directories the event is linked in. When in this event (the event that has been linked to multiple directories), guests will be able to navigate to all linked events from all directories.

• Can guests jump between events in Presentation Mode?
  

Yes! The dropdown menu in the top bar will be available in both Conversation Mode and Presentation Mode!

• Can I have more than one Event Directory at a time?
  

The number of Event Directories you can have per Remo company account will depend on the Remo plan you are currently on. If you would like to create more Event Directories than your plan supports, please reach out to our Support Team ([email protected]) for additional information.

• Can I still link events using content banners?

While the Event Directory feature is an easier way to link events, you can still use Content Banners to do so if you wish. To link events using content banners, simply set up a content banner with the call-to-action link set as the linked event's URL with the parameter "?autojoin=1" added to the end (to avoid the guest having to re-register).

For example:

- Original Link: https://live.remo.co/e/event-2

- New Link: https://live.remo.co/e/event-2?autojoin=1
