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
- Create an event page with outcome, agenda, date, time zone, location or link, and speakers.
- Keep registration short; collect only what you need.
- Send confirmation with a calendar invite.
- Remind a week, a day and an hour before, with practical details.
- Follow up with slides, recordings and one clear next step.
Metrics to track
| Metric | Why it matters |
|---|---|

| Attendance rate | Registrants who attend. |
| Post-event conversion | Attendees who take the next step. |
