Embed the program widget

The program and speaker widgets publish your agenda and your speakers directly on your external website, updating automatically whenever you edit a session in Eveos.

Creating a widget, the search bar, the carousel, the embed code and how caching works are common to every content type and are described in Embed the exhibitor widget. This page covers what is specific to the program and the speakers.

1. Open the relevant session.
2. In the sidebar, open “Settings” then “Widgets”.
3. Select “Create widget”.
4. Under “Content type”, choose Program or Speakers.
5. Pick a “Template”, then save.

Note

Only program items and speakers with a published status appear in the widgets.

Program widget

Available templates

On top of the grid, list, carousel and compact layouts, the program has a template of its own:

• “Timeline”: chronological view with a time gutter on the left, a dotted vertical axis and one card per session. Days are separated by a date header.

Filter which program items are shown

The “Filters” section restricts the items included in the widget:

• “Types”: conference, workshop, keynote, panel, networking, break, ceremony, entertainment, other.
• “Categories”: your program categories.
• “Tags”: only items carrying all the listed tags are shown.
• “Date from” and “Date to”: bounds the published period.

Display options

The “Display options” section controls the card content:

• “Disable click”: cards are no longer clickable and the detail popup never opens.
• “Show type”, “Show category”, “Show place”.
• “Show end time” and “Show duration”.
• “Show speakers”, plus “Show role” and “Show company”.

With the Timeline template, “Pin the date while scrolling” (on by default) keeps the day header visible as long as its sessions are on screen — valuable on a multi-day program.

Highlight the session in progress

The “Highlight the session in progress” setting turns the widget into a live display during the event:

• the running session gets a “Live” badge and an accent highlight;
• finished sessions get a discreet “Ended” badge and are dimmed.

The display updates on its own, with no page reload: states are re-evaluated every 30 seconds, and immediately when the visitor returns to the tab.

Once enabled, three extra options appear:

• “Hide past sessions”: finished sessions disappear from the list instead of being dimmed. On the Timeline, a fully elapsed day also loses its date header.
• “Keep marking outside the programme”: by default nothing is marked once the last slot has passed, to avoid showing a fully greyed-out widget the day after the event. Enable this to keep marking beyond that point.
• “End of event message”: text shown once every session is over. Defaults to “The event has ended”.

Caution

Combining “Hide past sessions” with “Keep marking outside the programme” empties the widget entirely after the event. The “End of event message” then takes over: check its wording before publishing.

Note

Times are displayed in the visitor’s time zone. The live session marking, however, is based on the actual instant and therefore stays accurate wherever the page is viewed from.

Template variables

For a custom template: {{id}}, {{title}}, {{description}}, {{type}}, {{startTime}}, {{endTime}}, {{location}}, {{track}}, {{speakers}}.

Speaker widget

Available templates

On top of the shared templates, speakers have “Advanced Cards”: a card that flips on click to reveal the biography, with social links overlaid.

Display options

• “Disable click”.
• “Hide the name”: shows the photo only.
• “Photo size”: Small (72px), Medium (96px), Large (120px) or Extra large (144px).
• “Photo shape”: Round, Rounded or Square. The setting also applies to the detail popup and to the advanced cards.
• “Coloured band”: tinted band behind the top of the card, which the photo overlaps. Its “Colour” is adjustable; left empty, it uses a light tint of the primary colour.
• “Show company”: company shown as a badge at the bottom of the card.
• “Show short description” and “Show biography”: control the two texts in the detail popup.
• “Initials without photo”: one or two letters for speakers without a photo.

With “Advanced Cards”, two extra settings appear: “Show socials” and the “Biography button label”.

Tip

A very long job title is automatically clamped to two lines on the card, with the full text on hover and in the detail popup. No need to shorten it in the speaker record.

Template variables

{{id}}, {{firstName}}, {{lastName}}, {{company}}, {{position}}, {{shortDescription}}, {{photoUrl}}.
