To know
- To see the results, we recommend you to send the invitation email to yourself and follow the registration procedure from the beginning to the end. If you don’t know how to do it, then please read How to view your registration form?
- The waiting list allows attendees to register even if the maximum capacity of the agenda session has been reached. The attendee will receive an automatic email to notify him that he is on the waiting list.
- When an attendee unsubscribes from a full agenda session, the spot is automatically given to the first one on the waiting list. An automatic email is sent to let him know that he is now on the main list.
- The registration for one session can be done on different forms at the same time. The quantity is taken into account on all the forms.
- If numerous agenda sessions are happening at the same time, you are able to authorise or unauthorise your attendees to subscribe to parallel/overlapping sessions.
- If you want to restrict the number of registrations per person, we recommend you to specify it clearly to attendees, for example, in the email.
- If you have a large number of sub-sessions, you will have the option of folding a session group for better visibility.
