Event Registration Funnel: 6 steps

Key takeaways

  • Best for: Workshops and meetups, Conferences, Open days and launches
  • 6 steps from promotion to post-event follow-up
  • Watch registration rate, attendance rate, post-event conversion

Attendance is the goal

Registrations mean little if people don't attend. Plan reminders and practical information as carefully as promotion.

Step-by-step build

  1. Create an event page with outcome, agenda, date, time zone, location or link, and speakers.
  2. Keep registration short; collect only what you need.
  3. Send confirmation with a calendar invite.
  4. Remind a week, a day and an hour before, with practical details.
  5. Follow up with slides, recordings and one clear next step.
