Update a session

PUT/v1/organization/{orgId}/sessions-workspace/events/{eventId}/sessions/{sessionId}

US Region: https://public-api.sessionboard.com · EU Region: https://public-api-eu.sessionboard.com

Changes a session's title, description, start and end (an empty string clears the time), room, track, format, or its sponsor tags (sponsorIds is the full list). Only the fields you send change. Requires write:sessions. Refused for a key restricted to particular events. Also at PUT /v1/sessions-workspace/events/{eventId}/sessions/{sessionId}.
