Event registration form: questions + free template
An event registration form should collect enough information to organise attendance without asking attendees for unnecessary personal details.
Quick answer
Start with name and email, then add only event-specific fields such as attendance type, session choice, accessibility needs or dietary requirements. Explain how the organiser will use the information.
What should the form include?
For a question list tailored to your event format, use the free event registration question planner. Choose online, in-person or hybrid, then copy or print the questions you need.
- Attendee name
- Email address
- In-person or online attendance
- Session or ticket choice where relevant
- Accessibility requirements
- Dietary requirements for catered events
- Questions for the organiser
7 example event registration questions
Copy these questions into your registration form and remove any that are not relevant to your event. Make optional questions clearly optional.
- What is your full name?
- What email address should we use to send your event details?
- Will you attend in person or online?
- Which session would you like to attend? (If there is more than one.)
- Do you have any accessibility requirements you would like the organiser to know about? (Optional.)
- Do you have any dietary requirements for the catered event? (Optional.)
- Is there anything you would like to ask the organiser before the event? (Optional.)
For online-only events, remove the dietary question. Avoid collecting sensitive details unless they are necessary, and explain who can access the answers.
Ask only what the event needs
A webinar may need little more than a name and email. A catered in-person event may need dietary information. Add fields because they change how you organise the event, not because they are available.
Separate registration from marketing consent
Registering for an event does not automatically mean a person has agreed to unrelated marketing. If you want separate promotional consent, make that choice clear and distinct.
