Registration without an account for guests
Every required account costs registrations. Dropping the account brings more confirmations.
Starting point
A guest who has to create an account before registering often drops off. For a one-off event a permanent account is rarely worthwhile, and its benefit stands in no relation to the effort.
Registration should finish in a few fields without the guest signing in permanently, and still deliver a solid confirmation with a way to cancel.
Steps in order
Open event page
The page with description and registration is reachable without signing in, so the guest immediately sees what to enter.
Few fields
Ask only for name, contact and the essentials. Every further required field lengthens registration and raises the drop-off.
Confirmation by email
After submitting, the guest gets a confirmation with a calendar file and a personal link to the registration.
Cancel through the own link
Through the same link the guest can cancel without you stepping in, keeping the guest list current without phone calls.
Secure closed groups
For internal groups, registration can require approval or be protected by an access code so only invited guests reach the page.
Attendance check
Before the event, Eventwerk asks about attendance through the personal link so you can plan with reliable numbers.
Typical mistakes
Required account
An account turns guests away at the hurdle, especially for a one-off event.
Too many required fields
Every field lengthens registration and collects data that is rarely used but must be maintained.
No personal link
Without their own link, guests are stuck when they want to change or cancel a confirmation.
Open page for internal groups
Without an access code or approval, outsiders register and take places meant for the inside.
What Eventwerk handles
Eventwerk accepts registrations without an account. The guest enters a few fields, gets a confirmation with a calendar file and can cancel through the personal link.
For closed groups, registration can require approval or an access code. The attendance check before the event runs through the same personal link.
