Hi Lindsey,
Steven and others gave great suggestions. One other suggestion I'll let you know of for the future (which would only work in your use case if the general admission people have 1 admission item and the staff/presenters have another admission item) but within the advanced settings tab of the admission item(s), if you click on edit, you can set a minimum and/or maximum number of sessions that invitees who have that admission item can select. So for your example, in the general admission item, the maximum would be set to 1 and then for the staff/presenters admission item, there would be no maximum set. You can also choose whether you'd like to count waitlisted sessions towards these limits as well (if you use a session waitlist.) See screenshot below. They will get an error message that says "Based on your admission item, you cannot have more than 1 sessions" but you can control/change what this message says within Language Management within the event.

Subject: Session Limit for General Admission, but not Staff/Presenters
Hello friends,
I am currently working on an event which will include multiple sessions that will take place a few evenings per week over the space of a month. I need to set it up so that 'general admission' folks are only able to sign up for one session, but our 'staff/presenters' are able to sign up for as many sessions as they are available to attend. I also need this to be part of the registration process.
It is important that I am able to maintain an accurate count for these sessions as much as possible, as we have concerns about hitting venue capacities. I've played around a bit with registration types and admission items, but I am not finding a way to make this work. So far the only thing I have found to limit session selection is Session Groups... but then that doesn't work for our staff/presenters who need to be able to select more than one.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to accomplish this?
