How to Edit Attendee Information

Sometimes attendee information needs a quick update, whether it's fixing a name, updating a badge detail, or editing registration data.

Good news: Expo Pass makes it easy!

Here's how Event Organizers can manually edit, bulk edit, or allow attendees to update their own information.


Who Can Edit Attendee Data?

βœ… Event Owners

βœ… Event Users (with the right permissions)


Option 1: Manually Edit a Single Attendee

1. Open Your Event

2. Click on the Attendees section in the left nav

3. Find the attendee you want to edit and either:

  • Click within the cell you wish to edit for in-line editing, OR

  • Click Edit on the far right to open their entire data profile

4. For in-line editing:

  • Click on the cell to edit your data

    • You can do this across multiple attendees at a time

  • When finished, click Review Changes at the bottom

    • ❗ Important: If you do not click Review Changes and navigate off the page, your changes will not be saved.

  • Follow the steps to review and save your changes:

    • πŸ”΄ RED cells = something is wrong

    • 🟒 GREEN cells = good to update

    • βšͺ GREY cells = no changes being made

πŸ’‘ Tip: If you don't know what a field or issue means, hover over it to read a detailed explanation.

5. To edit an attendee's full profile:

  • Click Edit on the far right side of the attendee data table

  • A pop-up window will open with all of that attendee's data

  • Make your changes and click Update

❗ Important: Once a badge has been printed, you cannot edit the Attendee ID. This ID is a unique system identifier tied to badge and lead retrieval data.


Modifying Registration Levels

For Paid Events:

  • Determine any pricing differences between registration levels

  • If applicable, process a refund for the original registration level and remove the attendee from that registration

  • Re-register the attendee under the new level

For Free Events:

You can update a registration level one of two ways:

Option A β€” Edit Profile:

  • Find the attendee in the Attendee Data Table

  • Click Edit on the far right side of the table

  • Click on the Reg Level dropdown and select the new level

  • Click Update

Option B β€” In-line Editing:

  • Click directly on the Reg Level cell for the attendee you want to update

    • You can do this across multiple attendees at a time

  • When finished, click Review Changes at the bottom

❗ Important: If you do not click Review Changes and navigate off the page, your changes will not be saved.

  • Follow the steps to review and save your changes:

    • πŸ”΄ RED cells = something is wrong

    • 🟒 GREEN cells = good to update

    • βšͺ GREY cells = no changes being made

πŸ’‘ Tip: If you don't know what a field or issue means, hover over it to read a detailed explanation.


Bulk Edit Multiple Attendees

Need to update multiple attendees at once? Here's how:

1. Export Your Attendee List

  • Export your event's full attendee list β€” here's how to make sure you're capturing all the data you need

❗ Important: Always include the Attendee ID when exporting. This is the unique identifier for each attendee record β€” without it, re-uploading will create duplicate records instead of updating existing ones.

2. Edit Your Data

  • Open your exported list in Excel or Google Sheets and make the necessary changes

3. Save as CSV UTF-8

  • Save the file in CSV UTF-8 format before re-uploading

4. Re-upload Your File

  • Upload the updated CSV back into Expo Pass β€” attendee records will update seamlessly based on the Attendee ID


Updating Session Selections

Session selections work a little differently than standard attendee data:

  • Attendees can modify their own session selections through the link provided in their confirmation email, where available

  • For paid session add-ons, Event Users will need to refund and remove the previous session, then re-book under the corrected details


Allow Attendees to Edit Their Own Data at Check-In

If you want attendees to make small updates themselves during badge pickup, you can enable this through your iPad Kiosk:

  • Set up your iPad Kiosk Check-In to allow limited attendee edits β€” here's how

The fields an attendee can edit at the Kiosk are controlled by you when setting up your Attendee Fields.

  • Any field with "Editable by Attendee" checked will allow attendees to update it at the iPad Kiosk, as well as in their Attendee Event Profile via the mobile or web app.
