Register to sessions at the same time tickets are purchased

This feature is coming soon, stay tuned for updates!

Let attendees choose sessions during event registration

Attendees can now select eligible sessions during the registration flow, allowing organizers to collect session choices at the same time tickets are purchased. This creates a smoother path from checkout to agenda planning while helping manage eligibility, inventory, and capacity in real time.

Create an Agenda Widget

The sessions that will show in the order form will be based on the filters you create in the Agenda Widget. If you want all the sessions to show, then you can skip this step.

  • Go to Settings > Widgets

  • Select Agenda

  • Click + Create Widget

  • Name your widget and select it (e.g. Session for Order Form)

  • Select Highlight specific session

  • Select your filters

Enable Session Registrations During Event Registration

  • Go to Registration > Order Form

  • Click Settings

  • Enable Collect session selections during registration under Session Registration

  • Click Go to Session Registration to start setting up which sessions to show in the registrations process and set selection rules.

Choose Your Agenda Widget

Click the Set Up button then select the agenda widget you created. This will show you the count of session included in this widget, and the ticket types that have access to the sessions in your widget.

If you want all sessions to show, select the default agenda widget instead. Click Next.

Make the Session Registration Required or Optional

Choose whether attendees are required to register for sessions or optional to allow them to skip this step. If you choose required, you can optionally add minimum and maximum number of sessions they can register for. Then, add a page heading and description.

Test the Session Registration

The option to register for sessions while purchasing a ticket is available through the registration page and agenda widget embedded on your website. It's not available in the Attendees > Add Attendees tab.

When you get to the ticket selection step of the registration, you'll see that there are only 3 steps involved, but after you select your ticket and continue to the next page, you'll see it increase to 5 steps. And the session selection would be before the checkout step.

When you get to the session registration step, you'll see the attendee names and their ticket type. When you click Save a Seat, you'll be able to select which attendees in the order will be registered for the session.

If you set this step as optional, you'll see a Skip button, and that would take them to the next step.

The session registration rules will be followed in the order form, meaning if their ticket is not allowed to join the session, they won't be able to register for it. Or if the capacity has been reached, then they can no longer register for it.

There wouldn't be any indication in the order confirmation email about the sessions they registered for. They can check it when they log in and go to the My Sessions.
