The Attendee Approval feature is only available for in-person events. Organizers will be able to see the Attendee Approval feature toggle under General Settings on the backend portal.




How organisers can view the registration inside the portal?

After a registration is received, our platform will capture the waitlisted attendees and hold their registrations for organizers to review. Organizers can then selectively approve or reject waitlist attendees based on criteria like seniority, company size, or other attributes that impact potential value. The approval process will boost event impact and budget efficiency.
