Remarks

Concurrent Session Orders would vary depending on given instances as below:
1. All concurrent sessions with no track starting with the same time but different end times.
  • Order is by the end time 
  • The session which ends earlier will go first
2. If all concurrent sessions with no track start and end at the  same time
  • Order will be based on the time session was created
  • The last created session will appear first on the portal and will go first
3. If sessions have different tracks and all have the same start time but the different end time
  • Order will be based on the end time
  • The session which ends earlier will go first

4. If sessions have different tracks but all start and end at the same time 

  • The ordering would be by track sequence > Ordering by session create time
  • The session with no track will show after the session with track and order by session create time
In conclusion, it follows the order  end time > track sequence > session create time
Once there are concurrent live sessions and one of the concurrent live sessions passes the end time, a pop-up message will be shown and will suggest ongoing live sessions for attendees.
