Let's get to know your event site, session page, and lobby page

Event organizers who have been planning and managing a variety of events may wish to "showcase" upcoming and past events to prospects and allow those prospects to register for upcoming events and/or watch past events on demand. Kaltura generates a "Showcase page" that event organizers can customize, share directly with prospects, and/or embed on the event organizer's own website. Event organizers can choose the specific events they want listed on their Showcase page, as well as those events they want highlighted/promoted at the top of the page. Prospects can browse the Showcase page to view a list of events coming up, register for them, and watch past events on demand.

If your Kaltura Events account is configured with Custom templates, the Create Event page displays two tabs - one for Preset templates (Presets) and one for Custom templates (Custom).

Kaltura enables hosting of "closed" Single sign on (SSO) events, attendees of which are based on existing groups in an Identify provider (IdP). Users who are members of those IdP groups are automatically synced to Kaltura and can log into the said "closed" event.
