How to use Collections for different event types (conferences, training, etc.)
The Collections feature in Cadence allows you to create specialized content libraries tailored to different event types. From the Collections Menu › Settings area, you can configure collections that address the unique content needs of conferences, training sessions, product launches, or internal meetings, ensuring attendees can easily access the most relevant resources for their specific event experience.
When to use
When organizing content for different types of events
When creating specialized resource libraries for specific audiences
When you need different content organization strategies based on event format
When repurposing content across multiple event types
Before you start
You must have Admin or Event Manager permissions to configure collections for different event types.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Select "Collections" from the left sidebar navigation.
Plan your collection structure based on your event type:
For conferences: Create collections by track, speaker, or session type
For training: Organize by learning modules or skill levels
For product launches: Structure by product features or use cases
For internal meetings: Arrange by department or project phase
Click the "+" button to create a new collection.
Name your collection according to your event-specific organization scheme.
Use consistent naming conventions that align with how attendees think about your event content (e.g., "Day 1 Sessions" for conferences or "Beginner Modules" for training).
Set visibility based on your event audience segments.
For conferences with multiple tracks, you can create track-specific collections visible only to attendees registered for those tracks.
Add content that matches your event type's specific needs:
For conferences: Session recordings, presentation slides, speaker bios
For training: Tutorial videos, workbooks, certification materials
For product launches: Demo videos, spec sheets, FAQ documents
For internal meetings: Action items, reference documents, project timelines
Consider creating a "Featured Resources" collection for high-priority content.
Use categories within collections to further organize content by subtopic.
Configure the "Recently Viewed" setting based on your event needs.
Disabling "Recently Viewed" will remove this feature for all collections in your event, not just specific ones.
Preview your collections from an attendee perspective to ensure intuitive navigation.
Click "Save" to apply your configuration changes.
Troubleshooting
If attendees report difficulty finding content:
Verify collection visibility settings match your attendee groups
Confirm your naming conventions align with attendee expectations
Check that content is published and not in draft status
