Allow Attendees to Create Their Own Lounge
Having a designated area to discuss specific topics can help increase attendee engagement and help event organizers gain more insight into their attendees. When attendees generate their own lounges, it will show which topics pique the interest of most attendees, and they can schedule a live forum to have a discussion on the topic. As an event admin, you can approve or deny lounges.
Notes:
When this feature is turned on, all attendee-generated lounges will be subject to approval. Lounges created by event admins are auto-approved.
Admins can edit lounges created by attendees, except for the Live Forum date and time.
Other attendees cannot see pending and denied lounges.
Admin-created lounges are not included in the count of open lounges limit.
Attendees will be kicked out of the lounge if the status is changed to pending or denied.

The lounge creator will receive an email notification if approved or denied.
