Track who attended which session and keep rooms within capacity

Staff scan attendees into individual sessions, recording attendance against the same attendee records used at the front door.

Each session has a capacity. When it is full, further entry is held and attendees on the waitlist are told when a seat opens. Organisers watch attendance across the schedule and see which sessions are full and which have room.

For workshops and training, session attendance is what certificates and continuing-education credits are based on, so attendees get them automatically afterwards.

After the event, session attendance shows which topics drew the crowd — evidence for the next programme.
