The process by which attendees sign up for an event and provide their details in advance.
Registration collects essential attendee information before the event, including name, contact details, dietary requirements, accessibility needs, and session preferences. Online registration platforms automate data collection, payment processing, and confirmation emails. Closing registration at a sensible point before the event allows organisers to finalise catering numbers, print name badges, and prepare check-in lists.
