In this exciting release, we introduce a brand new event level sessions feature on all platforms - available to all users on Professional and Enterprise plans.

The feature allows for virtual or in-person session creation and management, enabling users to create and organize breakout sessions as part of a main event in zkipster for a more focused guest experience. Virtual sessions can be connected to a Zoom meeting or webinar via zkipster's native Zoom integration.
​
This update further allows users to set a guest capacity for individual sessions (non-mandatory), in order to limit attendance numbers where needed and keep track of the headcount per session.

In detail, this release now empowers users to:

Create one or multiple sessions as part of a main event via the new 'Sessions' tab on the left-hand event navigation:

Define a name and set a start time, duration as well as a guest capacity for each session. The session location can either be a physical location or virtual (via Zoom integration or another virtual event link):

See an overview and individual capacity limits (green means equal or below capacity, red means above capacity) of all sessions:

Allow your guests to RSVP to one or multiple event sessions by adding a dedicated Sessions section to the response fields of your form (any sessions that are already full will not be selectable):

​

Send confirmation emails with full session details to your guests: session name, location, date & time, and an 'Add to Calendar' function:

In case a session is virtual, the ‘Session Location’ link redirects to join the session.
​

Guests can also be manually assigned to one or multiple sessions via the 'Action' dropdown on the Guest Lists view or via their own guest profile under the 'Sessions' tab:
​

Attendees can further be viewed and filtered by session on the Guest Lists view:

Any sessions created inside the event are listed below the guest list(s) on the zkipster app, including the start time, duration, confirmed guest count and capacity:

Guests can be checked in to a Session independently from the main event check-in on both the iOS and Android app. Attendees can also still be removed and added to one/ multiple sessions.

Both of this is done via the Guest Detail:

View and report on your session attendance data in zkipster's Reporting and Export functions.

A new 'Session' tab inside the Reports feature allows data to be shown and compared between sessions - including individual breakdowns on Total Guests Checked, In-Person/ Virtual Guests and Total Guests Added:

Session Check-in has additionally been added as a viewing option to the event timeline graph for a detailed, in-depth breakdown:
