Zones
Overview
Zones refer to designated areas within an event venue that can be customized and managed separately. Zones help organizers effectively organize event spaces and activities efficiently. Each zone can represent different areas, such as exhibition halls, conference rooms, lounges, networking areas, or outdoor spaces. Organizers can customize each zone's location, schedule, and access permissions according to their event requirements.

You can create various types of zones to accommodate different activities and areas within your event venue. Some common types of zones include:
- Exhibition Hall
- Conference Rooms
