Registration
Group Packages
Group Packages is a new group registration workflow that offers flexibility and visibility to both planners and Group Managers and works with our existing registration solutions. This workflow sits outside of individual registration, and offers the following:
Group Managers can purchase group passes and manage their groups independent of their own registration process and without needing to identify and invite Group Members until later
Group Managers can self-serve invitations, cancel invitations, and monitor the registration status of Group Members
Group Managers can be invited specifically to this workflow, or planners can enable a self-serve sign-up workflow. Planners can also limit the visibility of group packages to specific segments of Group Managers.
Qualifications: License Registration & have events that require Group registration

Passkey
Room Categories
We’ve consistently heard from both hotels and event organizers that the physical guest room types in a hotel’s inventory system are not organized in a way you'd like to present to your attendees. We are excited to solve this problem with the introduction of Room Categories. Now you can create custom room categories to group multiple room types together reducing the number of options displayed to attendees. All without needing to manipulate the Hotel’s inventory. This greatly simplifies the booking process by eliminating manual reconciliation of room types for "run-of-house" bookings.
