A venue is a place at the event — a hall, a breakout room, a stage. Sessions on the Agenda are held in venues. A venue can have an entry gate: bind perks to it, and only holders may enter. Open Program & venue → Venue.

​
Create a venue

Choose Create venue and name it (for example, “Main hall A”). A new venue is open to everyone. Description and access are configured on its page.

​
Who can enter

The venue entry gate matches a session’s:
  • No perks selected — open to everyone.
  • Any perks selected — limited to attendees who hold at least one of those perks.
The admit list has two parts:
  1. The venue’s own perks — selected on the venue page. These apply to everyone entering, for any session.
  2. Perks required by sessions held here — added automatically. They appear checked and locked, tagged from the agenda. Schedule a gated session into this venue and its perks join the list; move the session out and they leave.
Agenda-derived perks are computed from sessions currently scheduled in the venue. They are not stored separately and cannot be edited here. To change them, change the sessions.

​
Sessions held here

The venue page lists every session scheduled in it. Unassign removes the venue from the session; the session stays on the agenda. Admit-list perks that came with the session leave with it. A session selects its venue on its own page.
A session in a perk-restricted venue inherits the venue gate in addition to its own perks. An open session placed in a VIP-only room becomes VIP-only.

​
Rules

  • Venues archive; they are not deleted. Sessions (and booths, in exhibition mode) reference venues.
  • An archived venue accepts no new sessions. Sessions already scheduled there keep the venue. Restore the venue to schedule into it again.
  • Gating uses perks, not ticket types. The chain is ticket → perk → venue. To make a room VIP-only, bind a perk on Perks to the VIP ticket, then select that perk on the venue.
  • Speakers pass the gate automatically. Assigning a speaker to a session in a gated venue grants the required perks. See Speakers.
  • Venues are also exhibition halls. With Exhibition enabled, booths use a venue as their hall. “Hall A” is the same venue the agenda uses.
Model physical access on the venue. Model a single session’s access on the agenda. “Only workshop-pass holders may enter Room 3” is a venue gate. “This session is VIP-only” is a session gate. Both can apply at once.
