Create a conference event registration form to accept registrations for your conference, convention, congress, conclave, or symposium in [geoip_detect2 property=”mostSpecificSubdivision” default=”your city”] and get paid as your attendees register by connecting a supported online payment service like Stripe or PayPal
Flexible pricing options
Create a single conference registration option or multiple ticket options for your event attendees to choose from to begin their online registrations. Your annual conference registration fee can include one registration fee for all sessions, or a registration fee for each session. That can let you build a registration form that will be flexible or all-inclusive. Plus you can receive online payment from attendees directly to your bank account. You can also create a registration option for exhibitors and vendors.
Set registration limits
Does your conference have a limit on the number of attendees? Event Smart can help. It is flexible and even works for conferences that have break-out sessions or workshops!
Collect attendee information
Collect attendee information from your customized conference registration form and see that information in your attendee report. Your conference registration form can include basic questions, or custom questions so you can get all the information you need from your attendees so you can deliver on a great experience.

“It was easy to use and had all the features we needed for a multiple-day event”
We used Event Smart for our Annual National Conference. It was easy to use and had all the features we needed for a multiple-day event with numerous concurrent sessions. It had multiple pricing levels and promo codes were easy to apply. The dashboard was a little complex but there were plenty of tutorials and their customer service was on top of it, very prompt in responses. –Jabbar Beig
