Why groups?
Dividing your users into groups gives them a unique, intimate experience. While at the larger event, they get to connect with a smaller group of people in different places around the site. They can also stay connected year-round on your Single Destination platform.
People can be grouped into:
Regional association chapters
What else?
Can they be special groups for the event, or always based on real-life groups?
Any other reasons clients have been excited about groups? Specific ways they want to use them?
Creating groups
Keep these guidelines in mind when planning groups:
Restrictions:

Special features for groups
Groups don’t just happen in one place. People can connect with group members using all or some of these features.
Group home page
Group home pages are a central connection point for group members. They can only be accessed by members of the group.
Pages are configurable with various modules. For example, a regional association chapter can host information, images, resources, and a list of group members on their page. Popular posts from the group feed are displayed, along with a link for easy access to the conversation.
Talk to the JUNO team to learn more about configuring group home pages.

Group feed
Groups get their own private social feed. You can post and comment in the social feed at any time during the event or year-round. Learn more about feeds.
Group chat channel
When group members join the same session, they can have a private conversation in their own group chat channel. Unlike the social feed, these conversations happen inside sessions and disappear once the session is over. Learn how to use chat channels.
Send to breakouts by group
During a session, moderators can send attendees into breakout rooms based on their group.
Leaderboard
Usually, the leaderboard lists all users. But if you want to narrow the competition, you can make the leaderboard only show attendees people who are part of their group.
