Coordinate Company Setup with Other Event Features
The Companies feature in Cadence allows you to integrate company profiles with other event components for a cohesive attendee experience. From the Companies Menu › Settings section, you can configure how company information connects with schedule items, appointments, collections, and other features to create a comprehensive event ecosystem.
When to use
When creating a unified strategy for company visibility across your event
When connecting companies with schedule items they're sponsoring
