Customization on Events

Custom Fields on Event Registrations

Defined on: the Event Package Item
Stored on: the Event Registration Order Item

Event registration custom fields collect per-attendee data at the time of registration. Common uses:

  • Meal choice (vegetarian, vegan, standard)
  • Dietary restrictions
  • Session preferences for multi-track events
  • T-shirt size for participant kits

Each attendee captured via Additional Contacts gets their own set of custom field values.

Configure on the Event Package’s Custom Fields tab.
