  • 1.  Registration Types

    Hello! I am looking for ideas on how groups keep registration types low. We end up with numerous registration types, based on attendee type, day only tickets, etc. Has anyone found a good way to organize different types?

    Aloha Sara, 

    Great question! Our events have varied over time and have ranged from having just one generic attendee registration type to upwards of 8+ registration types (to include spouse/guests, exhibitors/vendors, staff, and special guests - as an example).  

    In the example you cited about the day-only ticket attendee, your event could have registration types that are broader in nature, such as general attendee, vendor, staff, etc. then create sessions to accommodate the one-day ticket attendee versus the full-conference attendee.  Also, if your event is a paid event, you could then set specific registration fee pricing per session, set-up specific add-to-calendar links and emails per session.  Generating session reports will be an easy way to help you track your attendees as well.  

    I hope this helps.  You can also check out the Cvent article, The Complete Guide to Registration Types here.

    Best,

    Sarah K.

    I also try to generalize the registration types and use admission items to help differentiate them. So maybe you have "Attendee, VIP, and Speaker" reg types, and they all have access to full-conference, one day, or two day tickets (admission items) at different prices. I can also differentiate what agenda items are available to them based on their registration type or their admission item (ie - the VIPs are the only ones who get the pre-event reception, and the Speakers with the two-day pass are invited to a speakers breakfast).
