Attendee Types Overview
Attendee Types identify different types of participants within an Event.
A default Attendee Type named Attendee is included in any new Event.
An Attendee Type can be renamed, edited, or deleted as necessary.
Possible Uses for Attendee Types
Attendee Types can be used to manage key aspects of registrations.
Attendee Types can be configured with up to five date-expiring fees.
Examples of these fees include Early Bird, Regular, and On-site.
Attendee Types limit the number of Registrants by capacity limits and waitlisting.
If the Accommodation module is used, Attendee Types restrict which room types are visible to an Attendee.
With the Registration Groups module, Attendee Types define who can be a member of each group.
With the Registration Groups as Promo Codes module, Attendee Types define who can use each promo code.
