Practical answers for academic and professional event organizers preparing an online registration flow.
It is an online form for reserving a place and sharing planning details. It can collect identity, affiliation, attendance format, tickets, sessions, meals, accessibility requests, travel, and communication preferences in consistent fields.
Start with name, email, institution, role or career stage, attendance format, and program selections. Show presenter fields only to presenters and venue questions only to in-person guests. Add a badge name and review step when useful.
Yes. Start with attendance format. Show venue, meal, reception, travel, and accessibility questions to in-person guests; show time-zone, reminder, captioning, and access questions to virtual guests. Keep shared profile and program fields on both paths.
Group choices by time block to avoid conflicts. Use dropdowns for one selection and checkboxes where several are allowed. Add capacity notes, second choices, or waitlist fields for limited rooms, then test labels on mobile.
Yes. Ask the role first. Presenters can receive title, abstract, co-presenter, format, equipment, and setup fields while attendees skip them. Use a separate abstract submission form when files, deadlines, and reviewer routing are required.
Use separate fields with room for detail, explain that answers support event arrangements, and provide an organizer contact. Route requests to a designated person and ask only for information needed to arrange access or meals.
Yes. Makeform offers unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect registrations without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Confirm the attendee's format, ticket, and selections, and explain how to make changes. Route accessibility, billing, travel, and speaker requests. Use responses for room counts, check-in lists, virtual access, badges, and meals.
