Overview
Conferences are specialized courses designed for events with optional workshops and activities. The setup of conferences differs from regular courses, and it requires configuring sections, workshops, and fees to suit the event's structure.
Setting Up a Conference
To Add a New Conference:
- Navigate to Main Menu → Conferences.
- Click the New Conference button to create a new conference.
To Add a Section to the Conference:
- Click the View button for the conference.
- Go to the Sections tab.
- Click the New Conference button to add a section to the conference.
Adding Conference Fees
Conference fees are added similarly to course section fees, with the ability to apply variable rates based on registration dates. The following are the main options for adding fees:
- Regular Fees: Use the same method as adding regular course section fees.
- Workshop Fees: If a specific workshop has an additional optional fee, create an Optional Fee and add the Workshop ID.
- Multi-day Conferences: For conferences held over multiple days, use Variable Fees and enter the Workshop Date in the fee record.
Important Note:
- Quantity discounts are not enabled for conferences and workshops. Only Early Registration and Promo Code discounts are applicable.
