Create smaller sessions where your event registrants can exchange ideas and discuss pressing topics.
Round tables are smaller sessions in which your registrants can exchange ideas and discuss pressing topics. Unlike agenda sessions, round tables are primarily used for ongoing discussion throughout the event.
Note: This is only available for channels with an event license. If interested, please contact our Events Experts at sales@bigmarker.com or your customer success manager.
The Attendee and Presenter Experience
Attendees will find your roundtables as part of the networking center, a collection of pages that you can configure as part of your event. Attendees will go to the roundtables page, click on one of them, and either go into a live webinar, a custom URL, or go into speed networking.
If you are using a live webinar for your roundtable, the experience is the same as any other live webinar for both presenters and attendees. Attendees will get the attendee experience, whether it's webcast or interactive, and your presenters will get presenter links to join in.

- If you want to structure your round table as a BigMarker webinar, select Webinar. Then, in the dropdown that appears, you will select a live webinar from your channel
