Files

Google Calendar (conference)

If you set all of the Google Calendar fields in the Conference form, your sessions are automatically saved and synchronized with Google Calendar. If you added the Google Calendar details after you already populated the system with sessions, you can sync your sessions to Google Calendar.always use the 'sessions/synchronize' option to synchronize all your existing sessions with your Google Calendar. If you do this, you might want to purge your Calendar beforehand. This can only be done from the Google Calendar interface.

Google Calendar (personal)

Users also have the option to save a specific session to their own personal calendar. This is no way related to the feature described above.

Link presentations

Evaluate session
