6) Who do you use for registration and why? |
|
We have used Show My Event for over 50 events. They are wonderful to work with. The registration process is easy to set up. You can customize what information you want to gather. You can have add-ons for things like lodging nights or extra meals. They can take credit card payments if you want them to. Participants can register themselves 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You have easy access to all of the data. The cost is far below other similar sites. I HIGHLY recommend them.
