zkipster's ‘Sessions’ feature allows users to create and manage an event within the main event. This especially comes in handy for events that require more than one check-in moment as well as events that either have several breakout sessions, or different attendance time slots, as part of their schedule.

For example, if you are managing a large conference with multiple panel discussions throughout the day, instead of creating separate events in zkipster for each of these, you can create and manage these panels all within the same zkipster event. This makes it easier for you as well as your team to keep track of all the different aspects of your event, all in one place.

In summary, the ‘Sessions’ tool empowers users to:

After creating an event, go into the sessions overview screen by clicking on the 'Sessions' tab on the left-hand menu. This is where you can create a new session, manage any existing ones and sort them by Name, Start Date, Location, Total Guests, Capacity as well as Checked-In.

Creating a session is just as simple as creating an event - you only need to click on the 'Create Session' button located on the top right of the sessions overview screen, define a name, a start time and duration for your session as well as a guest capacity, if desired. The session location can either be a physical location or virtual (via Zoom integration or another virtual event link):
