This feature is available for Enterprise and White Label Plans only
The Registration Approval Process
The Registration Approval feature allows you to review participants and event content before adding them to the event. You can have screening process or approval workflows for attendees, exhibitors, speakers & sessions, and session reviewers.
Approval Workflow for Attendees
Screen potential attendees before giving them a ticket. This feature can also be used as a waitlist if you're not accepting registrations at the moment.
Once you enable attendee registration approval for a ticket type, everyone who selects it during registration will be screened before they can buy a ticket. The ticket types with registration approval enabled will have an "Approval Required" label on the ticket selection part of the registration process.
After they select a ticket, they will enter all the buyer and holder information and submit their application. Since this process screens them before buying, they are not asked to enter their payment information if they select a paid ticket.
When you approve their request, they will receive a confirmation that it has been approved. They can now claim their spot by purchasing the ticket. If the ticket is free, you can give it to them automatically, or they will have to get their ticket after approval, just like for paid tickets.
Approval Workflow for Exhibitors
Once the exhibitor registration approval feature is enabled, a "Register as an Exhibitor" button will appear on the event landing page's About tab. When exhibitors click the button to register, they will be asked to enter their personal and booth information. They will be required to upload their logo and enter the booth name.
You will receive the request in the admin console wherein you can review their proposal. When you approve their request, the booth will automatically be created and they will be added as exhibitor admin to the booth. They will receive an email stating they have been approved and another email with instructions to access the booth for editing.
Approval Workflow for Sessions & Speakers
Once the session approval is enabled, a "Call for Sessions" section will appear on the event's landing page's About tab. When applicants click the button to submit a session, they will be asked to enter their personal information, session and speaker details.
You will receive the request in the admin console wherein you can review their proposal. When you approve their request, they will receive an email stating they have been approved and to wait for more instructions. The speaker(s) will also get the speaker invite email - we suggest to turn this off before approving and send it to them when you've adjusted the session to its correct schedule.
A regular session will be automatically created in draft mode and they will added as speakers to the session. The session schedule will be the first hour of the event. If they have indicated the duration in minutes in the request, the duration will be considered in the session creation.
Approval Workflow for Session Reviewers
If you have a lot of session proposals, you may want to add a review process. This will help you stay organized by assigning people to review the sessions, and once reviewed, you can take a look at their ratings and comments to decide whether a proposal will be denied or approved.
Once the reviewer application approval feature is enabled, an "Apply as Reviewer" section will appear on the event’s landing page. When they click the "Apply" button, they will be asked to enter their information.
You will receive the request in the admin console wherein you can accept or reject them as a reviewer. When you approve them as a reviewer, you can start assigning sessions to them.
After a session is assigned, they will receive an email on how to access to "Review Portal" where they can evaluate the session proposals you assign to them.
When reviewers send in their evaluation, you can assess whether the session should be part of your event on not based on the reviewer's feedback.
