How to run a multi-session conference on Covey
Set up each session with its own capacity, member pricing and waitlist, let attendees put up to 10 sessions in one cart and pay once, then check them in from a phone.
01 · The playbook
How to do it, step by step.
-
01
Set up each session
Create an event for each part of your conference: sessions, workshops, receptions, dinners. Each one has its own capacity, ticket types and price.
-
02
Configure member and non-member pricing
Member pricing auto-applies based on membership status. Add ticket types for students, speakers, or sponsors.
-
03
Open registration
Publish the sessions on your site. Members log in and see their pricing, add up to 10 sessions to one cart, and pay once, on the site or in the member portal. Non-members register too.
-
04
Manage waitlists automatically
Popular workshops fill; waitlists open automatically. When a spot opens, the next person in line is moved in and emailed.
-
05
Check in attendees from a phone
Check people in from the registration list on a phone. Attendance is recorded for each session.
-
06
Reconcile revenue by session
Post-event, see registrations and check-ins by session. Every ticket payment lands in your own Stripe account.
02 · What it gets you
The payoff.
- Each session has its own capacity, pricing and waitlist, so popular workshops don't oversell
- Members see their member price automatically, with no discount codes to hand out
- Check-in time drops from minutes to seconds per attendee
- Session attendance data drives next year's programming decisions
