Groups

A Group is a list of people of an Event. Groups are useful to compartmentalise people and exhibitors in order to give them different rights to allow or block a feature, manage meeting rules, send them different emails, or target different advertisements.

Default Groups​

By default, 3 groups are created within the Event: Attendees, Exhibitors, Speakers.

  • Attendees are People that attend the Event (guests, visitors, etc.)
  • Exhibitors are companies and people linked to them (also called Exhibitors members that are usually company representatives that attend the Event with a booth).
  • Speakers are people that are speaking on a session (planning).

When adding a people to an exhibitor as member, they will automatically be added to group Exhibitors. When adding a people to a planning as speaker, they will automatically be added to group Speakers. Other groups can be created directly from Studio or via the Content API.

Priority​

A people profile can be in several Groups. Each Exhibitor can be one single group, by default they are considered in the default Exhibitors group. If a People is in different groups (directly or via an exhibitor where they are member of), only the group with the highest priority will be considered.
