Multi-Session Conference

A multi-session conference lets attendees choose which sessions (breakouts, workshops, keynotes) to attend within a broader event. Forge models sessions as conference360__Session__c records that belong to the parent event, each with its own capacity, room, start time, and optional separate ticket linkage.

🖼️ In the Forge app: Sessions tab — add breakouts, assign rooms, and set per-session capacity limits.

Before you start

Have your agenda drafted: session titles, start/end times, room or track assignments, and per-session capacity.
Decide if sessions are included with any ticket (open sessions) or restricted to specific ticket tiers (linked sessions). Linking sessions to tickets is the more advanced configuration.
If you are assigning sessions to speakers, have your speaker records created first (Speakers section in the left sidebar or the Speakers tab on the event).
Note: The Planner Conference 2026 demo org models sessions as separate Event records for internal testing reasons. The standard and recommended model is Sessions (conference360__Session__c) as children of a single Event — that is what this recipe documents.

Steps

Create your event (any location type) and navigate to the Sessions tab in the event workspace.
Click + New Session. Enter the Session Name, Start Time, and End Time. Assign a Room if relevant and set Maximum Registrants for the session capacity (independent of the event-level Maximum Attendees).
Repeat for each session in your agenda. Group sessions by track or time slot — Forge displays sessions in chronological order on the agenda view.
To assign a speaker to a session, open the session detail and use the Speakers related list to link one or more conference360__Speaker__c records.
To restrict a session to a specific ticket tier, open the session and use the Link Ticket option. Only attendees who purchased the linked ticket can register for that session. Leave unlinked for sessions open to all ticket holders.
On the Page Designer tab, verify the agenda block is enabled so the session schedule appears on the public registration page.
Publish the event. On the registration page, attendees will see the full session agenda and can add sessions to their personal schedule.

Session waitlisting

When a session's Maximum Registrants count is reached, Forge automatically waitlists additional session registrations — independently of the event-level waitlist. An attendee can be confirmed at the event level but waitlisted for a specific session.
