Then you'll have to track that first thing a user does a bit more carefully. Instead of storing it in something like Session.conferenceID, create an array within the session to correspond to individual browser windows, and when a user chooses a conference you can see whether the user was already working on that conference - and if not, stick it in a new array position: Session.conferences[1].id = ... Session.conferences[2].id = ... As a user works on a conference, you could pass a unique identifier other than the conference ID along through the form-driven editing process, to ensure that edits are coming from the same browser (which is basically the suggestion I made in my previous response). But honestly, you probably won't even need to do that - you know the path of the editing process, so you know when a user goes to the first step of the process they're starting a new edit.
