Usage

Conference details

The text about the conference for the main page is directly in index.html file. The bulk of the details about the conference are held in the _data/conference.yml file. E.g. the title, dates, organisers names, image locations for slideshow, and sponsors. NB - the images for the carousel should be approx 16:9 ratio,

Schedule

The schedule is stored in the file _data/schedule.yml To update the schedule, committ the updated schedule.yml file to the repository, the website will automatically update within a few minutes. The layout of the schedule.ylm file is by date, and time slots, added chronologically in the file e.g.

  • date: "2021-11-10" dateReadable: "2021-Nov-10" timeslots:
    • startTime: "8:50" endTime: "9:00" title: "Opening remarks"
  • startTime: "9:00" endTime: "10:00" title: "Keynote: Personalized Medicine" speaker: "Leslie Biesecker (NIH/NHGRI)" abstract: "Personalized medicine is the way forward, discuss..." chair: "Lynn Schriml" etc...

you can add a type to any time slot to change the way its presented, e.g. type: "presentation" allows you to nest time slots into a session, or type:"service" changes the colour to display e.g. for lunched and coffee breaks.
