What forms are for

Forms let you collect information from people: a registration, an application, a survey, or feedback after an event. You build the questions once, share a link, and every answer collects in one place.

Two ways to use a form

A form can either belong to an event or stand on its own.

• An event registration form is linked to an event. Attendees fill it out as a required step before they get their ticket, so you can ask what you need up front. You create it from the event's admin panel: open the Registration form area under the Registrations group and press Create registration form. The event is already selected for you.
• A standalone community form is not tied to any event. Use it for a call for speakers, a membership application, or a general survey. You create it from the community admin panel: open Forms under the Communication group and press Create form.

You can also link a standalone form to an event so it becomes that event's registration form. One thing to know: once a form has been linked to an event and saved, that link is fixed. To point a form at a different event, create a new one.

Start from a template

When you create a form you can start from a ready-made template or from blank. The templates are:

• Basic attendee info — name, email, phone, consent.
• Workshop / session — the basics plus experience level and dietary needs.
• Networking event — the basics plus company, role, and LinkedIn.
• Call for speakers — talk title, abstract, format, bio, and more.
• Call for sponsors — company, budget, and sponsorship interest.
• Marketing-friendly — the basics plus "how did you hear about us?" and a marketing consent.
• Post-event feedback — a rating and open questions about the event.
• Blank — start from scratch.

Whatever you pick, you can change every question afterward. See the Building a form article.

Sharing it and how people fill it out

Every form has its own public link. Copy it from the form's row and share it wherever you like.

To fill a form, a person signs in first, answers the questions, and presses Submit. Right after, they see a thank-you screen with a recap of the answers they gave, so they know it went through.

You can close a form to new answers by setting its status to Passive. Its public link then shows a "no longer accepting submissions" notice. A form that is linked to an event keeps working inside that event's ticket flow even while its public link is closed.
