Check box to disable new registrations once a session is started

2 votes

Recently I have had situations where new registrations are sneaking into a session that has already been started. I would like to see a check box that disables new registrations for a session that has been started. The default value would be "checked" /or disabled. If new registrations are desired, then the session manager could uncheck the box which would allow registrations even if the session has been started.

As a workaround for now you could set a max participant limit when the session starts to a number that is less than or equal to the number who are registered.

I'll have to think on how best to address this; it would definitely need to be optional since many sessions allow walk-ins and so registration after it starts is fine.

I allow walk-ins for both in-person and remote. I could see this feature being useful, but when the session started would maybe be too late. Something related to the time. Like two hours, 30 min, etc before the start of the session close registration.
