Quick answer: what questions should an event registration form ask?
For most events, start with attendee name, email and attendance choice. Add session selection, dietary requirements, accessibility needs, guest details, organisation, job role or travel information only when they affect how you run the event. Keep optional research and marketing questions separate from the core registration.
Your 4-question registration plan
What is your full name? Required

This plan does not reserve places, collect payment or send confirmations. For hybrid events, review the dietary question’s conditional logic. Explain who reviews answers and when attendees hear back.

30 event registration questions to choose from
Use this list as a menu, not a checklist. A shorter form is usually better when a question does not change logistics, communication or the attendee experience.
Core attendee questions
- What is your full name?
- What email address should we use for event updates?
- Will you attend in person, online or both?
- Which date or session will you attend?
- Are you registering only yourself or additional guests?
- What organisation are you attending from?
- What is your role or job title?
- Have you attended this event before?
Logistics questions
- Do you have any dietary requirements?
- Do you need to discuss an accessibility adjustment?
- Will you need parking information?
- Will you use event transport or a shuttle?
- Do you need accommodation information?
- Which meal or ticket option do you require?
- What is your expected arrival time?
- Will you attend the networking or social session?
Conference and workshop questions
- Which sessions or tracks interest you?
- What is your current experience level?
- What do you hope to learn?
- Do you have a question for the speakers?
- Would you like to join a breakout group?
- Do you need printed materials or equipment?
- Are you attending as part of a team?
Optional follow-up questions
- How did you hear about the event?
- Would you like the slides or recording afterward?
- What topic would you like covered at a future event?
- Is there anything else the organisers should know?
- Would you like information about future events?
- Do you consent to photography where relevant?
- Would you like to volunteer or help on the day?
What changes between a webinar and a catered event?
A webinar needs a reliable email address for the joining link. A catered event may also need a dietary follow-up. A hybrid event needs attendance format so online attendees avoid venue-only questions. Do not require a phone number, employer or address unless it changes how you organise attendance.
Keep registration separate from marketing
This planner leaves out promotional consent. If you add marketing, explain that separate purpose and make the choice independent of registration. Ask for adjustment needs without requesting a diagnosis or medical history.
