Multi-Session Event/Convention 

Definition

A business event consisting of a main event comprising a number of sessions running in parallel.

Use

Multi-session events/conventions enable you to set up and manage complex events.

Structure

A convention or multi-session event is made up of a main event, divided into sessions. Each session has a unique name and is in itself a separate event. The example below illustrates how the structure of a single-session business event differs from that of a multi-session event.

	Single-session business event	Multi-session event
Business Event Type	Organization & Planning	SAP HR Convention
(Main) business event:	Organization & Planning 1	SAP HR Convention 2000
Session		Personnel Administration
		Recruitment
		Personnel Development
		Personnel Cost Planning

You assign an individual schedule to each session. You can also reserve resources for each individual session. You can only book attendees for the main event, however.

Once you have created a convention, you cannot change any of the data for it. For example, you cannot change the resource reservation specifications.

There is no integration with Time Management for conventions. For this reason, no attendance records are written to Time Management for attendees.
