Moderators

What is a session moderator?

Moderators are there to help the speaker of the session. They have access to the speaker’s tools (if enabled by an event admin) and are able to help the speaker run the session.

Where do Moderators Appear on the Session Page?

If your sessions are a panel of speakers, you can specify which one is the moderator. They are displayed first in the session details, as seen below.
