Aside from the attendee's name and email appearing in the virtual event hub profile automatically, you can add and require these fields to your order form so that it will auto-populate in the attendee's profile when they access the virtual event hub. This will also work if you upload the attendees.

  • Company

  • Title

  • Pronouns

  • About Me

  • Facebook

  • Instagram

  • Twitter

  • LinkedIn

Auto-Populate Virtual Event Profile Fields

Important Note: This will only work if the registrant has never entered the virtual event hub (even for other events). If the attendee has entered the virtual event hub, it will not override their previous profile.

Follow the steps below to ensure that the information carries over to the attendee profile when they register:

Enable and Require the Order Form Profile Fields

  • Go to Registration > Order Form

  • Enable Collect both Ticket Buyer and Ticket Holder Information

  • For the Ticket Holder tab, enable the Include and Require toggles for these fields:

    • Organization

    • Job Title

    • Pronouns

    • About Me

    • Facebook

    • Instagram

    • Twitter

    • LinkedIn

Test as an Attendee

  • Sign up for your event as an attendee.

  • Use an email address that has never registered for any event in Accelevents.

  • Enter the virtual event hub to check your profile. (If this is a future event, add that attendee as an admin so that you can access the virtual event hub for testing purposes)

  • The profile fields should show the information you provided during registration.

If you're uploading registrations and want these fields to auto-populate, you'll need to edit the CSV template to have these EXACT LABELS for each column. Note that these are case-sensitive and extra spaces will cause errors when uploading.

  • Transaction ID

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Email

  • Job Title

  • Organization

  • About Me

  • Facebook

  • Instagram

  • Twitter

  • LinkedIn
