Options for event registration functionality

We recently found a great hosted solution for event registration for a client needing this functionality. Web Services built the client’s site which is managed using Adobe® Contribute™, so finding a plug-in or component to address this need was not an option. The free service met virtually all the needs of our client. Among the features provided by EventBrite.com are:

  • Highly customizable look and feel of the front-end registration piece
  • Tools to promote and email an audience about the event as well as keep track of registrants
  • The ability to charge for event and collect payment through several sources including PayPal and Google Checkout
  • Customizable event URLs and password-protected events

We also discovered a solution here on campus provided by Research Information Systems.
