Workshop registration form: capture what the facilitator and venue need

A workshop registration form records who is attending, how to reach them, and the few details the facilitator and venue need to plan, such as accessibility needs and the session being booked. Keep it short, and decide the seat limit and the process for the last seats before you share the link. Handle any fee and any follow-up message to attendees as separate steps, outside the registration answers.

Turn registrations into a list for the room

  1. Compare the count with the seat limit each morning

    Each registration is saved, and an hourly run updates the counts before the creator is told about new entries. While registration is open, compare the count with your seat limit at the same time each morning.

  2. Export one list per session

    Use the CSV export to print badges and the check-in sheet. Keep each session's export separate, so a morning list is never mixed with an afternoon list.

  3. Decide the last seats before you share the link

    Decide who gets the final seats and how you will tell people the workshop is full. Answer waitlist requests from your own email, not from the form.

  4. Track cancellations as cases

    If your team handles cancellations through Customer Care, turn on case creation and set the tags and owner in form settings. Note any change to a room in your own session list, so the room's count stays accurate.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a workshop registration form template I can copy?

Copy the field list here into the tool you use for event sign-ups. Attain OS hands out its forms through a link and does not make a printable sheet, so build a paper check-in list from the export.

Can I charge a fee for a workshop through this form?

No. This form does not take money. If the workshop has a fee, say in the introduction how people pay, by the invoice or other method your organization already uses, and make clear that registering does not settle the fee.

Does the form send reminders before the session?

The form does not send reminders. Send joining details from your own mailbox a few days before each session, and include the room, the start time, and the name of a contact for changes.

Can I use this for an event other than a workshop?

Yes. The same fields work for talks, short training days, and in-person meetups, as long as you change the session choices. For an online session with its own promotion, a webinar registration form may fit better.
