Virtual Venue

The lobby is the starting point of an event. You can bookmark upcoming sessions, build an itinerary, view speaker information, and learn more about sponsors. You can also chat with other event participants.

Learn more about getting started with the Zoom Events lobby.

In this tab, you can discover and bookmark sessions. The Sessions tab also includes a full session directory. You can bookmark a session to your itinerary and join a session when the Join button is active.

In this tab, click a session to expand the session’s detail page. From this page, you can view the session’s dates, times, and name. You can also view the session image, speakers, and session description.

 To bookmark a session, click the bookmark icon in either the left panel’s session tile view or at the top of the session detail page. 

To join a session, click the Join button in either the left panel’s session tile view or at the top of the session detail page.

Note: First, you must bookmark sessions from the Sessions tab for the sessions to be displayed.

You can join your bookmarked sessions from the Itinerary tab. Itinerary is your shortlist of sessions you can join during the event, displaying all your bookmarked sessions in calendar view. You can view all your sessions in one place, join a session directly from your itinerary, and have sessions where you’re a speaker to be displayed in a more prominent color in the calendar view.

At the top of the page, you can also use the search box and filters to find sessions that fit your schedule.

Export events to your calendar
You can export your event agenda from the Itinerary tab to your personal (external) calendar through an ICS calendar file with all agenda sessions. Your personal calendar will sync with Zoom Events and you will receive an email update if anything exported has changed.

1. After you bookmark sessions, access the Itinerary tab.
2. At the top of the page, click Export Itinerary as ICS File. A confirmation window will appear.
3. In the confirmation window, click Export. You can download and open the ICS file, which contains all your bookmarked sessions.

All your added sessions will appear in your personal calendar.

Attendees can access speaker information from the lobby’s Speakers tab to learn more about the speakers. When attendees click a speaker’s image card, they are directed to the speaker’s information page, which displays the following information:

• Speaker’s first name and last name
• Title
• Company
• Speaker bio
• Social media accounts
• Speaker’s sessions

When the speaker’s detail page is expanded, attendees can click session titles to jump to the Sessions tab and open the session’s details page to view more information about the speaker’s session. Attendees can bookmark those sessions, join the session, and view more session details.
