One ICS file, every session as its own event

One ICS file, multiple events

With Make each session its own calendar event turned on, the ICS file attached to your series' confirmation email holds multiple events: one for each upcoming session the registrant is registered for, soonest first.

Each event carries its own session's title, date, time and link, plus the reminder you set, so every session shows up on the day it happens and the weeks between sessions stay free.

One invitation.ics file holding four events, beside a November calendar where the series' Nov 5 to Dec 3 event gives way to each Thursday's 11:00 to 12:00 session. — Illustration

Events in the ICS file	One, for the series	One for each session

What each registrant gets

BigMarker builds the one file for each registrant from the sessions they're registered for.

The registrant	Their calendar file
Registered for the series	One file with an event for every upcoming session (sessions copy the series' registrations by default)
Chose their sessions in an itinerary series	One file with an event for each session they chose
Has no upcoming sessions left	One event for the series

Past and canceled sessions are left out, and a file holds up to 50 events.

Settings that wait while it's on

On the Settings tab, two settings hold still while each session is its own event, and come back to your choices when you turn it off.

Setting	While it's on
Auto-add to calendar	Held at Off: the calendar arrives as a file registrants open, because a calendar with several events can't carry an invite
Replace Calendar Event	Locked: each session's event uses that session's own identifier

Edit ICS File, Settings: Auto-add to calendar held at Off with its note, and Replace Calendar Event locked.

Made for the confirmation email

The option lives on a series' Registration Confirmation Email. Calendar files on the series' other emails keep one event, and a file you upload with Upload Custom ICS is sent as you made it.
