| Description |
Do you ever hold events that you would like participants to have the opportunity to register for individual sessions instead of just the whole day?
In the OMS you can create a conference type of event for this purpose. It is where you may have any combination of strands (i.e. hands-on, lecture, keynote, etc.), blocks of time (i.e. morning and aftenoon sessions), and breakout sessions.
In order to manage a large conference event, it may be helpful, though not required, to have participants register for indivdiual sessions. Each session will have its own participant list allowing for more control and ease of managing the registration process. Sessions may also have an additional fee attached to them besides the cost of the conference (if any).
Participants will learn how to:
- first design the structure of their conference day(s) - full day or multiple blocks and sessions
- create custom menu items for aligning and tagging sessions for applicable audience type, gradel level, the presenter(s) information, optional color coding, and session types (keynote, hands-on, etc.)
- enter breakout sessions information that includes individual titles, descriptions, start and end times, room location, limit registrations to a specific number (no wait list), and tag the sessions from the custom menus created
- manage session registrations if changes are requested by participants
- export participant data by session for name tags and sign-in sheets
- send correspondence to specific session participants
Pre-requisites:
Participants must have created and managed at least one or more workshops in their department's OMS.
