We have EE4 set up so that attendees to our conference register and pay for a conference package of 3, 2 or 1 day. Their ticket cost gains access to whatever sessions they wish to attend across the conference period. We have up to 100 individual sessions across multiple time periods over the 3 days where attendees can select which individual sessions they want to attend.
Anyone know how we could do this within EE4? We need to keep track of the number of people attending each session as the capacity of each is limited, we want to ensure only people who have paid for the conference are able to select their sessions? I don’t really want to go through and have to set up all 100 sessions as an individual event so wondering if there is an easier way to do this and can we make it so that they must have registered and paid to be able to pick individual sessions??
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
Are your users required to log into the site?
I don’t really want to go through and have to set up all 100 sessions as an individual event so wondering if there is an easier way to do this and can we make it so that they must have registered and paid to be able to pick individual sessions??
So you want all of those sessions AND the main conference event tickets to be ina single event? If so you could create a required admission ticket that ALL users must purchase which includes a single day, then you’d need another 2 tickets for the additional days and the session tickets.
If you split the ‘main’ registration into a separate event then one way to set this up would be to use the WP User integration addon and set a minimum require capability on the ‘session’ tickets, meaning users can’t purchase those tickets unless their account has that capability.
Doing it that way you can still use the ‘main’ conference event and create the user account (or update a current users account) and set it to have the capability you set on the other tickets OR you can also use a membership type plugin and have users purchase a membership (which then assigns a capability to their account) and check for that capability.
Would that work?

It would be ideal if they had to login first, just to avoid people who haven’t registered & paid being able to book into sessions, otherwise we’d have to cross check and make sure they had registered/paid.
The event already has 8 different ticket types at the moment so I don’t know if the ticket option you discuss above would be a reasonable option.
I did have a look at the user integration addon previously but i didn’t think it would provide what we needed. It’s hard to know if something will work unless we give it a test run and because there are so many options available it’s hard to identify which ones to try out especially when some do not have free demo versions.

I can setup a demo site with the WP User Integration add-on enabled so you can see how that works on a test event if preferred?
The event already has 8 different ticket types at the moment so I don’t know if the ticket option you discuss above would be a reasonable option.
Ok, but how are the ‘sessions’ set up?
You mentioned 100 sessions, but the above is 8 ticket types.
