Sample Import File: Session
Tracks, Types, and Subject Tags
Tracks, Types, Subject Tags and Session Filters | Filters: are also the part of the import process.
The columns marked “yes” or “no” means the functionality is on or off, respectively.
Some columns contain a number, such as Child Exhibitor ID, Contact Person ID, Product categories, Moderator’s ID or Speaker’s ID is their Participant ID. You can get these IDs from the respective export file.
The organiser can import Speakers/Moderators to the Session/Exhibitor Event by using the external ID attached to the speaker/moderator vis using the Session Import file or API or other third-party integration
A new column has been included in the session import file to add the external ID for the participants(Speaker/Moderator).
If there are multiple speakers passed via API it should be separated by double pipes.
If there are multiple speakers imported via import, they should be separated by comma(,)
You can add embed codes or scripts inside their respective tags.
It is possible to rewrite/update part of the information for the session, just fill in the column where information needs to be changed and leave other columns blank.
Remember to indicate Session ID as obligatory, otherwise, a new session will be created.
Multi-Language Import for Session/Exhibitor Events
The organiser has the option to import sessions and exhibitor events in multiple languages.
The organizer must manually create the additional session name fields/columns in the session import file for the language in which the session must be imported. Once created, these fields should be merged in the Merger Header of the session import.
On the Session import, the Merger Header, has the fields to merge session name and description in multi-language based on the languages enabled at the event and added to the session import file

If any exhibitor has a child exhibitor added then this detail could also be imported by using the child exhibitor ID column and this data can be collected from the Exhibitor Export file from Admin Panel → Data →Import/Export → Export
Other columns can be polluted like any other session on the event
Exhibitor ID is mandatory to map it as an exhibitor event
While importing the Exhibitor Events organizer can specify custom locations(Other) in the session location field
