Katie,
Not sure if this helps but I used it for a camp/learning sessions this past year. It was called Learning Pods and basically we needed something for parents to sign their kids up for a AM/PM session (or both) for about 3 months. What I learned was it's not straightforward and I gave a lot feedback to Cvent on this (a market they should tap into). But what I had to do was create multiple sessions (import was my BFF) and keep it as AM/PM - if I did an all day option I could not control capacity (which was crucial with Covid restrictions). I was able to add tons of consent and in the custom questions I added links to the required medical forms, forms for minors etc. Overall it worked but some lessons learned:
- If you have multiple Sessions upload them
- Don't call the generic name AM Session/PM Session. Make each a date because in the agenda for each student all I could see was AM/PM so the back/forth if parents made mistakes was a pain.
- Discount codes work, but the challenge we found was if you did by sessions and they had two kids they might not technically meet the qualifications but could get it. Same with if we wanted all day vs half.
Overall we made it work and it took some work but the customer service was excellent in helping us make it work.

Does anyone use Cvent in a "non-standard" method like me? I use it for more than just events and usually have to come up with new unique ways to modify/customize my registration process and emails to fit different types of employee engagement/marketing programs.
