Registration blocks bundle sessions that need registration (Workshop and Time slots types) and set how many sessions from the block an attendee can sign up for. Stages mark physical spaces (rooms, stages, booths); tags mark thematic categories (AI, Marketing, Leadership). All three mechanisms help you organize a larger agenda and filter content in the attendee app and on the microsite.
Use blocks when you want to limit the choice — the attendee picks 1 of N workshops or 2 of 5 sessions.
Use stages for an agenda with multiple rooms or stages. Each stage has its own color and works as a filter.
Use tags for thematic distinctions — tracks, difficulty levels, topics.
Blocks, stages, and tags are created in the Agenda tabs (Blocks, Stages, Tags).
A block bundles sessions of type Workshop or Time slots and limits how many of them an attendee can sign up for.
Creating a block:
Go to the Blocks tab in the Agenda.
Click + New block.
Enter a Block name (for example, Morning workshops, Afternoon slot).
On the Settings tab, set Maximum number of sessions per attendee from this block (default: 1).
Go to the Sessions tab — in the Search sessions field, find the sessions and add them to the block by clicking them.
Save.
Typical use case: three parallel workshops in the morning. The attendee signs up for only one.
Workshop A, B, C — each is a separate session.
The block Morning workshops contains all three.
The maximum is 1.
The attendee picks one in the app; once they pick, the others are blocked for them.
Session capacity vs block. The individual capacity of a workshop (for example, 20 spots) stays in place. The block only limits the attendee's choice; it does not touch capacity.
One session = one block. A session can be assigned to only one registration block.
A stage marks a specific space (room, stage, booth, sector). It is assigned to sessions and works as a filter in the app and on the microsite.
Creating a stage:
Go to the Stages tab.
Click + New stage.
Enter a Stage name (for example, Room A, Main Stage, Workshop Room 1).
Save.
Assigning to a session: in the session edit panel, on the Information tab, pick a Stage.
Hiding in the app: for a specific stage, switch the Available in app toggle to off. The stage stops appearing as a filter in the app (sessions assigned to it stay — only the filter attribute is hidden).
How many stages. The count depends on how the event is organized. For a single-room agenda, do not create stages — there is nothing to filter. For a multi-dimensional conference (3 rooms × 3 days), create one stage per room.
A tag is a thematic label assigned to a session. Unlike a stage, it has no physical dimension — it is conceptual (AI, Strategy, Hands-on).
Creating a tag:
Go to the Tags tab.
Click + New tag.
Enter a Tag name and a Color (from the list or as a hex code).
Save.
Assigning to a session: in the session edit panel, on the Information tab, in the Tags section, use the Assign tags field. A session can have multiple tags.
Tag colors. Tags appear in the app with their color. Pick colors that contrast on both the light and the dark background of the app.
The agenda automatically shows the Type, Stage, and Tags filters. The attendee can combine them:
Type: Workshop + Stage: Room A → all workshops in Room A.
Tag: AI + Tag: Hands-on → sessions with both tags (an intersection).
Configuring the filters — on the Agenda's Settings tab there is a filter table. For each filter you can:
Turn it on or off.
Reorder it by dragging.
Hidden stages do not appear as a filter.
On the Sessions tab, you can select several sessions and change them in bulk:
Block — assign or remove.
Stage — assign or change.
Tags — add or remove.
Useful when setting up a larger agenda or rearranging tracks.
Sessions of the same type in one block: the standard case (three workshops in a block).
Sessions of different types in one block: technically possible, but confusing for the attendee. The recommendation: keep the block to a single session type.
Session order in the agenda is driven by time, not by manual ordering. Stages and tags affect filtering, not sorting.
A block with one session adds nothing. Capacity is set with Limit total registrations on the session, not through the block.
A session can be in only one block. If you need a session to be part of more than one selection scheme, duplicate it as a separate session and put each copy in a different block (you lose some of the organizational overview).
A hidden stage does not appear as a filter, but the assignment to the session stays. The attendee sees the stage on the session detail. If you want to remove the stage entirely, delete it.
Pick colors with enough contrast. The Happenee app supports both light and dark mode — check the tag in both.
The block limits the attendee's choice, not session capacity. Set each session's capacity individually at the session or type level.
On the Agenda's Settings tab, walk through the filters. For a conference with parallel tracks, turn on Type, Stage, and Tags. For a simple agenda, Type alone is enough.
