How to Save a Seat for Limited-Capacity Sessions at UNBOUND 2026

There’s a lot to see, learn, and experience at UNBOUND 2026, with sessions spanning tactical deep dives, hands-on learning, community conversations, and more. While many sessions are open to attendees without a reservation, some experiences have limited capacity. For those, you’ll need to Save a Seat once reservations open for your ticket type.

The best way to get ready is to use our Agenda Builder to explore the program and map out the sessions you want to prioritize before reservations open. Then, when it’s time to Save a Seat, head to unbound.com/agenda.

Here’s how to get ready and what to do when it’s go time.

Mark Your Calendar: When Session Reservations Open

Seats for limited-capacity sessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and access opens based on your UNBOUND 2026 ticket type.

VIP ticket holders: August 25 at 11 AM ET

General Admission ticket holders: September 1 at 11 AM ET

Which Sessions Require You to Save a Seat?

Limited-capacity sessions include:

On the agenda, these are marked with a “Limited Capacity” banner. If one of these sessions is part of your UNBOUND plan, you’ll want to return to it once your reservation window opens and secure an available seat.

How to Save a Seat on the Website

If you’ve already built your schedule, we’ll make it easy to focus on the limited-capacity sessions you’ve selected so you can prioritize saving seats when your reservation window opens.

1. Head to the Agenda and sign in
Go to unbound.com/agenda.

Sign in with the email address and ticket number associated with your UNBOUND registration. Need to find your ticket number? Search your inbox for "Registration Confirmation to UNBOUND 2026."

2. Review the limited-capacity sessions already on your schedule

If you’ve been planning ahead, we’ll highlight the limited-capacity sessions already on your schedule and prompt you to save your seats.

This gives you a quick, focused view of the sessions you’ve already prioritized so you can work through your reservations without searching for each one again.

3. Select “Save a Seat”

For each limited-capacity session you want to attend, you'll see both “Add to Schedule” and “Save a Seat.” Selecting either button will add the session to your schedule and save your seat at the same time.

Important: If you previously added a limited-capacity session to your agenda, you must click "Save a Seat" after session reservations open to secure your spot.

You will see a confirmation message that your seat has been saved.

4. If a session fills while you’re reserving, explore your alternatives

Seats can go quickly. If a session reaches capacity you'll be notified that the session is full.

But, while you’re trying to save your seat, we’ll help you find alternative sessions to consider.

And remember, a full session doesn’t necessarily mean you have to remove it from your plans. You can still add it to your schedule and plan to try the standby line onsite. More on standby below.

Haven’t built your schedule yet? That's okay. You can still jump in when reservations open. From the Agenda, you can filter for limited-capacity sessions that still have availability and focus on securing the experiences you’re most interested in.

Or, use Agenda Builder to create a personalized three-day plan and then Save a Seat for the limited-capacity sessions it recommends.

How to Save a Seat in the UNBOUND Mobile App

You can now also manage your schedule and save available seats directly from the UNBOUND mobile app.

In the mobile app experience there isn’t a separate Save a Seat action. For limited-capacity sessions, Add to Schedule also saves your seat, so there’s no additional reservation step.

1. Download and log into the app.

2. Search the agenda to find the limited-capacity session you want to attend. Any sessions you’ve saved a seat for on the website will sync to the mobile app when you log in. If you added a limited-capacity session on the website without saving a seat, it won’t carry over to the app and will be highlighted in red under “My Schedule” on the website. You’ll need to add it separately in the app.

3. Tap “Add to Schedule.” That one action both adds the session to your personal schedule.and saves your seat if it is a limited-capacity session.

There’s no second reservation step and no separate Save a Seat button to look for in the mobile app.

What If a Session Is Full?

If a limited-capacity session reaches capacity, you can opt to Join Waitlist to keep it in your plans. If seats become available, attendees will be moved into the session in waitlist order and receive an email confirming their saved seat.

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a seat or give you a place in the onsite standby line. If you’re still waitlisted when it’s time for the session, you can join the standby line onsite for a chance to attend. Anyone can join the standby line, whether or not they joined the waitlist digitally.

Important: A waitlisted session still counts as part of your schedule, so you won’t be able to add or save a seat for another session that overlaps with it. To book a conflicting session, you’ll need to leave the waitlist first.

Build Your Schedule Before Reservations Open

Don’t wait until August 25 or September 1 to decide which sessions you want to attend. Before your window opens, head to the Agenda page. From there, you can browse the full agenda and add sessions yourself, or select Build My Schedule to use Agenda Builder.

Agenda Builder pulls information from your registration to create a personalized three-day schedule based on your role, goals, and priorities. You can review its suggestions, see why sessions were selected for you, swap out sessions, adjust your preferences, or ask it to fill open spots in your schedule.

It also builds recommendations around your existing schedule so it won’t offer sessions that overlap with something already on your calendar.

Whichever way you plan, the important part for Save a Seat is the same: adding a limited-capacity session to your schedule does not reserve it.

Once your reservation window opens, return to your existing schedule and confirm your spot in the limited-capacity sessions you want to attend.

Note: Your full schedule will sync and can be managed from the mobile app on September 3.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the session I want is full?
Limited-capacity sessions can fill quickly, especially when reservations first open. If your first choice is full, you still have options.

Join the waitlist. If a seat becomes available, you may be moved into the session. Keep an eye on your schedule for your current status.
Keep exploring. Limited-capacity sessions are only one part of the UNBOUND experience, with plenty of other programming happening throughout all three days.
Try standby onsite. If you don’t have a saved seat when it’s time for the session, you can join the standby line for a chance to attend. You do not need to be on the waitlist to join the standby line, and joining the waitlist does not give you priority in that line.

What if my plans changed and I no longer want the seat I saved?

If you’ve saved a seat and later decide to attend something else, release your reservation so another attendee has the opportunity to join. A quick schedule update can open the door for someone else to attend a session that’s high on their list.

What if I arrive late to a limited-capacity session?

If you saved a seat for a session but do not arrive at the least 5 minutes before the session start time, your seat will be released to the Standby line.
