Events

Sports events, conferences, festivals, and workshops all face the same core problem: managing group registrations with strict capacity limits, all on non-recurring one-time schedules. You need to track attendees, prevent overbooking, and coordinate across multiple sessions or activities within a single event.

Group Registrations with Capacity Control

Events require group bookings. You set a maximum number of attendees per session, and customers book together in the same slot. Multiple attendees book one session, and the capacity counter tracks real-time availability.

  • Max capacity per session — set limits per activity (100 people for a workshop, 500 for a keynote)
  • Real-time availability — customers see remaining spots; capacity automatically prevents overbooking
  • Multiple attendees per slot — one booking for a group, or individual registrations that share slots
  • Revenue scaling — more attendees in the same time slot = higher revenue per hour

Festival example

You run an annual summer festival with 10 workshops, each limited to 30 people. Set each workshop as a bookable service with max capacity 30. Attendees pick which workshops to join. No double-booking. No manual seat tracking.

Group Appointments

Set capacity limits per session and manage multi-attendee registrations.

One-Time Event Schedules

Conferences, festivals, and one-off workshops don't repeat weekly. You need to define availability for a specific date range, and Opencals handles that without requiring recurring schedules.

  • Non-recurring schedules — set availability for specific dates only (March 15-17 for a conference)
  • Seasonal events — summer festival dates, annual conferences, one-time workshops
  • Multiple activities per event — define separate schedules for each session or venue

Flexible Scheduling

Set non-recurring schedules for specific event dates without worrying about weekly patterns.

Hybrid Events: In-Person + Online

If you offer hybrid attendance (some attendees on-site, others joining via video), Opencals auto-generates meeting links for online attendees using Zoom or Google Meet. Each booking gets its own link automatically.

  • Automatic Zoom/Google Meet links — one link per booking, sent to customers and staff
  • In-person or online locations — define physical venues and online meeting locations separately
  • Google Calendar sync — your event coordinators' calendars stay in sync; existing events block booking slots

Note

You host a 3-day conference. Day 1 keynote is in-person (capacity 500); breakout workshops are hybrid (capacity 50 per breakout). Opencals handles both location types with automatic meeting links for remote attendees.

Integrations

Automatic Zoom and Google Meet links for online attendees. Google Calendar sync keeps coordinators organized.
