Find A Room #

The Find A Room capability enables the event organizers and session planning team to conveniently locate available venues and rooms for their sessions. Here are the capabilities of this feature:

  1. Available Venues / Free Rooms List
    • The Available Venues/Free Rooms List displays venues and rooms for the designated day. You can search for specific days, times, and date ranges, and it will present the rooms and venues available on the selected dates.
    • To create a new session from the ‘Free Venue’ tab, navigate to the ‘Free Venue’ tab, hover over the desired venue, and click the ‘Add Session’ option on the right.
Note: The venue is available for the entire day rather than a specific time. An ‘available venue’ will only appear on the ‘Free Venue’ tab if no session is assigned. Having a session attached to the venue, even for just an hour, will not be listed on the said tab.

   2. “Free” Label For Venues In Session Scheduling

The feature displays available venues for the whole day and highlights rooms or venues with specific time availability and capacity when scheduling sessions. If you are creating a session or changing the venue, you have the ability to check which venue is not yet occupied by another session, and it will be labeled as FREE if available.
