2. Attendee Fields on the Reg Form

The first screen will allow you to manage the Expo Pass standard fields on your registration form.

❗ Important: Expo Pass requires at least First Name, Last Name, and email when using Expo Pass for registration.

  • All other standard fields can be optional, required, or hidden

  • Country MUST be marked as REQUIRED if you want the State field to populate.

πŸ’‘ Tip: To clean up your registration form, hide any fields that you do not need attendees to fill out.

  • Custom Attendee fields can be created if there is additional data outside of our Standard fields that you would like to collect.Β 

    • Custom Questions can be:

      • Text (freeform)

      • Single Select (Yes/No)

      • Multi-Select (Choose all that apply)

    • These fields can also be set as optional, required, or hidden.

❗ Important: Once you create a question, you cannot change the question type (text, single select or multi-select) and you cannot reorder the questions on the form.


3. Registration Form Basics

Next you will be able to set up your registration levels with descriptions, pricing, early bird dates, and included sessions (if applicable):

1. At the top of the page you will see tabs. Click on the Basic tab to set the Registration Level name.

2. Next you can add a Registration Level description with what the registration level includes, etc.

  • πŸ’‘ Bonus Tip: If this is the recommended level to select, check the box under the Description box.

If you would like to create promo codes to distribute for registration, there are a few options to consider.

  • Promo codes are:

    • System generated code or custom code made by you

    • Codes are either single use (once used they're done) or infinite use

    • Each code can be set to a percentage off or dollar amount off

    • The codes must have the effective dates for when the promo code is live

  • Examples of ways to use promo codes for registration incentives:

    • Take 15% off when you register by β€œX” date

    • $20 off to Attendees who are also Exhibiting at the event

    • $50 Discount for Association members

Attendee Guests

This is used when you would like to allow attendees to bring guests as a plus 1 outside of the bulk of the main event. Many event organizers use this for numbers on networking events, dinners, etc.

  • Guests will only have First Name, Last Name and Email (if you select YES) collected. None of the data from your registration form will be included for guests.

1. Select the number of guests to be allowed per registrant.

2. Select the cost for each guest ticket

3. Select if you would like to have them include the guest Email

Member Verification

Under Member Verification, you can upload Event Members for exclusive registration levels.

When a registration enters an email that is included in the Member Verification section of a registration level, they will have the option to select it. This level will otherwise not public.
