CalendarPA's group events feature is designed for coaches, teachers, fitness instructors, and anyone hosting seminars, workshops, or classes where multiple people attend the same session.
Group events (also called group bookings) allow multiple people to book the same time slot. Instead of one-on-one meetings, you can:
Host fitness classes with 20 participants
Run coaching workshops with 10 attendees
Teach seminars with capacity limits
Offer webinars with registration
Go to Booking Types and create a new booking type
In Event Settings, enable Group Event
Configure your group settings:
- Maximum capacity: How many people can attend
- Minimum attendees: Minimum needed for event to run
- Attendee visibility: Public (attendees see each other) or Private
Set up pricing (see pricing options below)
Configure your schedule (one-time, recurring, or specific dates)
Set the maximum number of attendees:
Fitness class: 20 spots
Workshop: 15 participants
Webinar: 100 registrants
Once capacity is reached, the time slot is full.
Enable waitlists to:
Capture demand when events are full
