Multiple session per meeting?

[melon]

I need to design a form that can support multiple session per meeting.

- Meeting organization can set one or more location/date/time per
meeting
- Recipient can select one session, and possibly change later.

Would it be easier just design a web page, or Outlook form can handle
the task?

If there are different locations and times for these meetings, wouldn't it
make more sense to store them as separate Appointment items?

Your requirements are very thin, but Outlook is capable of doing quite a bit
with custom development. But Outlook forms vs. web pages is not a valid
comparison - that's two very different platforms.

The scenario is quite simple:

There is a new mandatory training that everyone needs to take. There
are multiple sessions available. User will receive ONE meeting
request, and they will be able to select and change the session. Each
session may have a maximum capacity.

It kind of doesn't make sense for a meeting request to have multiple
date/time/location, but they don't want to deal with multiple meeting
request. They want to manage the whole thing in a single request.

This is my question as well..

I have one training presentation and I want to schedule it 4 times across 4
days to allow everyone to attend. I only want to send one invitation. Is this
possible?
