Web users can navigate to the Session Details page from the Event Schedule page or from the Select Sessions step in the meeting registration workflow. The Session Details page allows web users to view more information about a session. The following information can display on the Session Details page if defined in the back office:
· Creating a Detail Page for a Session
· Speakers
This page is a component of the Meeting Detail control, but may be added to a page independently, as a separate control. For information on adding the Session Details control to a page on the web, see Configuring the Web Settings for the Meeting Details control.
All of the components of the Event Details page can display for a session,
if a Session Details page has been defined in the back office. The Create Session Detail Page checkbox must be selected
for a meeting from the eBusiness Control task in the eBusiness Links task
category as displayed below.
The only difference between a detail page for a meeting and for a session are the links that display in the left navigation panel. Web users can navigate through the options in the left navigation panel to display more information about the session, return to the Event Details control, or the Event Schedule, as displayed below.
You can add more links to the left navigation panel in the back office to direct users to a URL of your choice. For steps to configure additional links in the left navigation panel, please see Defining Meeting Product Related Links.
A web user can use the social media share icons, as displayed below, to share the details about a meeting with their friends or followers. The social media share icons are built into the Meeting Detail control, and will automatically display on each page (Event Details, Event Schedule, Session Details, Exhibitor Information, and Attendees List) as long as they are enabled in the control settings. Please see Configuring the Web Settings for the Meeting Details Control for more information about enabling the social media share icons.
The Save More Promotion shows web users how much money they save as being members of your organization, or if the web user is not a member, how much money he/she could save by becoming a member.

See Configuring the Web Settings for the Meeting Detail Control for more information.
