Configurations are done through the Meetings Panel. In the Meeting Summary section, you'll find the list of sessions you've created, and you also have the option to create a new session by clicking the "Create Session" button.
In the Matchmaking section, you can review the tables of meetings (or meeting preferences, in the case of 1to1 Meetings with Preferences), except for exhibitor meetings, which have their own section called Exhibitor Meetings just below. From here, you can also create a new session by clicking the "Create Session" button.
In the Meetings at exhibitors section, you can view the table of exhibitor meetings and choose the reference of the hosts (stand administrators) you need.
You can track the live status of meetings by accessing the meeting tables in the Matchmaking or Exhibitor Meetings sections by clicking on the ℹ️ Information icon.
