Highlight your event’s key content with customizable Featured Tiles on your app’s homepage. These prominent tiles serve as quick-access shortcuts, directing attendees to the most important information, including the schedule, speakers, sponsors, attendees, and third-party content.


How Featured Tiles Work

Featured Tiles provide a visually engaging way to:

  • Promote high-priority content (sessions, speakers, sponsors).

  • Apply smart filters to refine what attendees see upon tapping.

Where Can You Link Featured Tiles?

Tiles can direct attendees to:

  • Attendee list

  • Speaker list (with optional pre-set filters) or individual speaker profile

  • Sponsor list (with optional pre-set filters) or individual sponsor profile

  • Schedule (with optional pre-set filters)

  • External links (e.g., event website, videos)

  • Sponsor ad

How to Set Up Featured Tiles

  1. Go to Admin Panel > Customization > Featured Tiles and click on Enable.




  2. You can design the grids by clicking the "Add row" option.


  3. You can select the suitable pattern out of the given 3 options:
    "Heading, 1 Tile, 2 Tiles", Sponsor ad


  4. Customize the design (text, color, image, layout).
    The text field is optional and can be left empty. The tile can have either an image or a background color (using a theme color or a custom color).

    The ratio 5:3 (1000 x 600px)

    JPEG and PNG formats are preferred

    You can direct attendees to either the full speaker list or the full sponsor list with one click, or link to an individual sponsor or speaker.
    Eg:



    When adding the schedule, you can filter by location and track.
    For schedule, sponsors, and speakers, you can also filter by any custom fields you have set up (see here how to enable custom fields).
