As the Event Owner and Event User you have the ability to add event attendees into a Session as either a Registrant or an Attendee.

๐Ÿ’ก KEY TERMS:

  • Registrant: A person who has added a session to their My Schedule and shows interest in attending.

    • A registrant is also someone who has purchased an add-on session when registering for the event.

  • Attendee: A person who has been scanned into a session or has been manually added as an "Attendee" to a session by an Event Organizer.

1. Log into Expo Pass with your credentials and choose the appropriate event.

2. In the "Sessions" section, select the session that you would like to add a registered attendee in to.


3. Click on the blue box on the far left that indicates the # of current registrants for this particular session.

4. Click on the "Add Registrants" button on top right-hand side of this session.

5. Now type in the first name of the individual that you would like to add, scroll down as needed to find their complete name. ย Check the box to the left of their name and then the green "ADD" button at the bottom of this section.
