Recommended way to create series of events?

1

I’m organising a series of talks (~1/day for a week) and I’m wondering what the recommended structure is?

Ideally I’d like there to be a page for the series which links to pages for the individual events. Registration needs to be per event (though an option to register for all events simultaneously might be nice).

I think “meetings” and “conferences” don’t allow this “registration per talk” set-up, right?

You can link them together as a series later on using the cog menu in the event management area (for “lecture”-type events that can also be done during creation).

Registrations are never tied to specific talks (contributions) but always events, but you can of course create a custom (single/multi choice) field in the registration form to choose talks.

Thanks @ThiefMaster!

I think this creates links between each event, but doesn’t create a public page for the series itself. Is that correct?

If so:
a) Can you think of a way you’d recommend to hack something like this together?
b) Do you think this would be a sensible enhancement suggestion?

Indeed, Indico does not support pages for event series that aren’t the events themselves. I’m not sure if this is common enough, so while I see how it might be interesting in some cases, it feels a bit like feature creep…

Feel free to open an issue with the suggestion though!

Fair enough, thanks!
