How to register a participant for an event

Participants (also called attendees or registrants) are the people attending or taking part in an event.

Steps to register a participant

  1. Open the event record.
  2. Go to the Registrations, Participants, Attendees, or similar section.
  3. Click Add Registration, Register Contact, or Add Participant.
  4. Search for the existing contact. If the person does not exist, create a new contact first.
  5. Complete any additional registration fields used by your organization, such as:
    • Ticket type or registration type
    • Number of guests
    • Dietary needs or accessibility requests
    • Payment status or amount paid
    • Notes
  6. Save the registration.

You can also start from a contact record and register that person for an upcoming event.

Tip: Encourage early registration so you have accurate counts for planning food, materials, and staffing.
