Configuring Registration

b2match allows event organizers to customize the participant registration to a certain extent. In this article, we will explain what can be adapted to your event and what is a part of our fixed event frame. 

Registration Time Frame

The registration time frame determines the period of time in which the attendees can register for your event. The date is adjustable and can be set by the organizer in the organizer's tool.

When Explicit Attendance Type is enabled, the organizer can define a limit of on-site participants that can register for your event depending on your venue size.

Participant Types

Participant types are used to group specific participants with the same goal. Participants are requested to choose their participant type during the registration process. This is a simple way to categorize your participants and is required if you would like to set booking or registration rules.

If you set participant types, this will be the first thing that the participants will have to select after entering their email and password.
