# Initial page

The `initial` attribute defines what the plugins shows on page load. The available views are:

* `initial="sponsor-grid"` shows your sponsor logos in a 2-d layout 
* `initial="exhibitor-grid"` shows your exhibitor logos in a 2-d layout
* `initial="lecture-list"` is a vertical list of the talks in your event. This is the default. 
* `initial="speaker-grid"` displays all speaker photos with their name in a 2-d grid. 
* `initial="speaker-list"` shows the speakers in a vertial list.
* `initial="ticket-shop"` shows the available tickets that can be purchased

You can also start with an single speaker/lecture/sponsor/exhibitor when referencing the entity by id. To specify the id, you add it like a query parameter. The complete `initial` attribute is very similar to the end of the query string url discussed in the next section. Explicitly, these are

* `initial="lecture-list?lectureId=xyz123lecture"` shows the lecture with the ID *xyz123lecture*
* `initial="speaker-grid?speakerId=xyz123speaker"` displays the speaker with the ID *xyz123speaker*.
* `initial="sponsor-grid?vendorId=xyz123vendor"` shows the partner with the ID *xyz123vendor*
* `initial="exhibitior-grid?vendorId=xyz123vendor"` shows the partner with the ID *xyz123vendor*
