Why use online registration

Over 95% of our clients request and use our online registration method.  We have continuously shown our clients how beneficial online registration is in terms of time, money and convenience.  Once they use online registration, they never go back to the old days of faxes and over the phone registrations!  Here are some reasons to use our online registration system for your next event:

1. Oftentimes, clients need to limit the number of attendees to an event.  With the old manual method, there was no easy way to track this.  Faxes would still filter in after the event limit had been reached.  Registrants would have to be contacted, only to be told that their registration could not be processed due to event limits.  With online registration however, you can set limits to events, seminars, and workshops.  Once you have reached the limit, a notification will advise potential registrants that registration is full.

2. With manual registration systems, information may be spread around in different folders, filing systems or different people may have different versions of attendee lists on their computers.  This creates a real potential for inconsistencies and errors.  With online registration systems, all the information is held in one central database that can be accessed by authorized organizers.  Any changes or updates to the system are done automatically and everyone sees the same information.

3. Most faxes are hand-written and not everyone has the neatest handwriting, especially if they have to fill out several different fax-in registrations.  Deciphering them can lead to errors or wasted time following up with people to try and clear up illegible information.  Responses in online registration are typed in, therefore eliminating these problems.

4. Online forms can be programmed to total costs and fees associated with each registrant.  You are assured of getting correct totals for every registration instantly and it is very convenient for the participant.

5. Online registration is fast and easy.  It saves time from inputting manually, which means we can turn around confirmation letters to participants quickly.  Clients can easily view registration results any time of the day from their own computer.

6. Online registration allows the client an option to login to the database to view any registration, the minute they happen! 

7. If you have a certain group or selection of delegates for your conference, online registration allows you to pre-populate your registration process.

The delegate may only have to enter their name or even phone number, and their permanent information is displayed, allowing for correct contact and other important information.
