Sessions are the core of the Conferences i/o experience, representing a training, meeting, or event. 


Note: The ability to create/add sessions in a Conferences i/o app will require that you have our "multi-session" level of service. If your app doesn't have administration choices for Manage Sessions or Manage Presenters, this usually means that you have our more affordable "single-session" app, which only supports use for one meeting or session at a time. If you are interested in upgrading, please contact us at hello@conferences.io
