Remember the events of yesteryear? You’d jot down an attendee’s registration information over the phone and then type it into a spreadsheet, or you had a form that attendees could fill out and mail in. And what about paying their registration fee? Yep, put that check in the envelope too. The tedious manual work and typos were enough to make your head spin. But as time went on, maybe you started collecting registrations by email or through a web form. And maybe that’s still your reality today. If so, that’s okay! Great events don’t just happen, but there are ways to make it easier on yourself:
