Step 5 — Read the programme

The second tab, and the reason most people open the app. Every published session, grouped by day.

What you see

A date range and a count sit at the top:

on screen

Nov 23, 2026 – Nov 27, 2026 · 1 session · 5 days

Then a day strip — All, then each day of the conference:

All

The whole conference.

MON 23, TUE 24, WED 25, THU 26, FRI 27

One per day. The app opens on the first day that has sessions.

Under that, a filter row: an All tracks dropdown, a Saved only chip, and Clear. Then the sessions, under a heading that repeats the day and its count:

on screen

Mon 23 November · 1 session

09:00 Opening keynote Nairobi Plenary Hall · 09:00–10:00

A session running right now carries a LIVE NOW badge. A saved session that clashes with another saved session is marked OVERLAP.

The Programme tab. A header reads Nov 23, 2026 – Nov 27, 2026 · 1 session · 5 days, a day strip has MON 23 selected, and below an All tracks dropdown and a Saved only chip sit the single Opening keynote session in Nairobi Plenary Hall.
Programme. The day strip is the fastest way in; the session card is the thing you tap.

What you tap

A day in the strip

Narrows the list to that day. All brings the whole conference back.

All tracks

Opens the filter sheet, headed Filter Programme, with three sections — Track, Format and Room — each starting on All tracks or All rooms. Reset clears them, and the button at the foot counts what you are about to see: Show 12 matching sessions.

Saved only

Shows only what you have bookmarked. It carries a count once you have some.

The search icon

A field whose tooltip is Search the programme and whose placeholder is Search sessions, rooms or speakers. It filters as you type, and the line above the list counts the matches — 1 session matching across the conference, or 3 sessions matching…. A Search results header replaces the day groups.

What you see

Three empty states worth knowing, because each is the app telling you something rather than showing a blank page.

A search that matches nothing:

empty state

No sessions match “fisheries” Try a track, room, speaker or part of a title.

A day the organizer left empty — excursions and side events are usually why:

empty state

No sessions on Saturday This day may be dedicated to excursions or side events. Explore side events for more details.

Filters that match nothing:

empty state

No sessions match these filters Clear filters to return to the full programme.

What you tap

A session card. That is Step 6.

What happens

Tapping a day scrolls to that day. Tapping a card opens the session's details, and the address becomes /events/:editionUuid/sessions/:sessionId.
