Sympose makes it easy for anyone to create a conference website. Install WordPress, install Sympose and kick start your conference. Sympose integrates with all WordPress themes.


== Description ==
Sympose provides you with functionality (people, organisations, agenda/schedule) for your event website.
People and Organisations are displayed in different categories. The conference agenda displays the sessions, sorted by day.

**Sympose Quick Start**

Since 1.2.6 we've added a quick start tool. After activating Sympose, you can start shaping your event right away! Check out the video below for an example.

=== Shortcodes ===

Below you'll find some Sympose shortcodes. You can also find specific shortcodes for your event in Sympose -> Shortcodes (in the WordPress dashboard)

= Shortcode example for displaying people =

`[sympose type="person" category="speakers" event="sympose" description="false" name="true"]`

This will display people from the category speakers and the event "sympose".

= Shortcode example for displaying a schedule =

`[sympose type="schedule" event="sympose"]`

This will display the schedule for the event "sympose".

= Shortcode example for displaying organisations =

`[sympose type="organisation" category="sponsors" event="sympose"]`

This will display organisations from the category sponsors and the event "sympose".

Check out other shortcodes (after creating posts and categories) in the Sympose -> Shortcodes menu.

== Installation ==

I recommend to install plugins via your WordPress Dashboard. Go to Plugins -> Add new, and search for `Sympose`.
