For organizers
A clear schedule. One workspace.
Chief Resident gives conference organizers a protected place to manage dates and topics. Share the public lecturer link, then review saved bookings and make everyday schedule changes in the application.
Share the booking page
Sign in to the organizer page and use Copy lecturer link. Send that public link to the lecturer through your existing communication channel. The application does not automatically send the link, and the organizer password is not needed to make a lecturer booking.
The lecturer starts with available dates and sees only the corresponding available topics. Lecturer names, email addresses and organizer notes are not listed in the public calendar.
Keep dates easy to understand
Schedule shows current and upcoming dates first. Past dates remain in a collapsed section so their bookings and notes are still accessible. Open a date’s details to see its actual status and the existing organizer-note field.
Available, not yet opened, blocked and booked are different states. A template label does not itself mean a date is booked or blocked. Opening a group of dates requires an explicit confirmed action; simply visiting Schedule changes nothing.
Manage topics within each specialty
In Topics, search for a specialty and filter its topic list from the first character. The organizer list retains available, used and hidden topics with their actual statuses. Search only changes what is shown in the list; it does not change topic status.
An intentionally empty specialty can still receive its first topic. Existing used topics remain connected to their bookings, and hiding a topic keeps it out of the public selection. Review the relevant controls before changing a topic or recording an outcome.
Check settings and delivery separately
Settings contains the programme’s booking period, topic-list period and notification recipient. The organizer can change the saved recipient inside the protected app. Changing an address does not send a test email or retrospectively notify old bookings.
Email and Microsoft calendar capabilities depend on their own configuration and permissions. Check the displayed status and keep the agreed external process in place where a connection is not active. Do not interpret a saved booking as evidence of an invitation being received.
