Hi,

I’ve not used EE yet, but a client is running day-long events where customers can choose from a number of ‘mini’ events during the day. Is such grouping of events possible in EE?

Thanks

Andy

This is something I’m interested in being able to do as well.  It seem to could achieve this to some extent using the “questions” function.

Hi Andy,

That sort of Grouping feature isnt available as yet in Event Espresso though it is a widely desired feature so it is possible it will be added in the future.

As Justin points out, it can be done in a different way, really depending on your set up.

So, if the mini events are within the cost of the main event, then Justins idea of using questions would work, in that they dont sign up for anything, but they are asked which mini events they want to go to and it is recorded on the system.

Another way would be to use the Multiple Event manager and have all the events as separate events and this will allow the users to add each event to cart, so it is good for both the free and paid mini events. One caveat with this is there is currently no parent-child relationship with events so the main event cannot be a prerequisite for adding other events.
