A seminar event with multiple dates will not allow you to create two on the same day at the same time and the following warning is displayed "This date conflicts with an earlier date in this event."

Suggestion here is if the two dates clash but are in different rooms then the system should allow this to occur. This would allow you to create multiple dates within an event that may be at the same time but in different rooms/locations.

Copying this from another thread. 


We have about 400 rooms that we can book in our system. Some of them have the interesting feature to be modular. So a large room can be split into 3 or 4 rooms. (see image) because of this we have 2 options of entering the rooms. The walls are collapsable so there are a total of 6 configurations. 

  1. one room
    1. no chance of overbooking but someone who needs only one section may take it and keep the other rooms from being booked. 
       
  2. 6 rooms
    1. a chance of overbooking because of the combination overlaps. 

Is there a tool (plugin) that can apply logic to a set of rooms to say "if room A is booked then B and C are available" or "if ABC is booked then none are available"
