The Conference Manager role breaks down into three main administrative tasks, all available from the Conference Management page from their User Home:
- Set up the hosted conference website. From the Conference Management page the Conference Manager should first visit the Website Management page and follow the six steps to a conference website. The Conference Manager should then establish a scheduled conference by visiting the Scheduled Conferences page. See General Management for a detailed breakdown.
- Set up the scheduled conference. After the Conference Manager has established a scheduled conference, the conference name will appear on their Conference Management page, along with a list of configuration pages, under the Current Conferences heading. The Conference Manager should first visit the Setup page and follow the three steps to a scheduled conference, and then visit the rest of the Current Conferences pages in turn. For more information, see Current Conferences.
- Administer users. The Conference Manager can register new users for with the system and assign them roles specific to their hosted conference, and can enroll already-created users with their hosted conference. See Users and Roles for more information on each.
