Not all events will need these optional settings. They’re great when you have specialty scheduling needs.

Overlap meetings in a location
When you add a meeting location to MeetMax, you’ll set its Capacity. That’s the maximum number of concurrent meetings the location can hold.

You can add a field to the Admin version of the Attendee registration form. That lets you set the number of simultaneous meetings for each person:
