Companies that organize multiple events each year may have a go-to event registration system integrated with their contact management database. But for small organizations surviving on Excel contact sheets and throwing their first annual conference, subscribing to an online registration system can save time and keep details organized.

For a simple form that just requires registrants to fill in answers, 123Signup and Constant Contact provide easy-to-use products.

Acteva has a bit more flexibility for developing registration questions and fees are just $0.99 per person for free/unpaid events.

Regonline’s system gets more flexible yet with a clean design for $3.95 per registrant.

If your event is open to the public, Eventbrite allows you to promote and sell your event.

For internal events that involve travel, Expedia Corporate Travel and Orbitz Business can help you develop sites that set parameters for employees’ travel. And for events that require travel for attendees that are not employees, a registration site with a built-in travel booking service from HRG or Concur’s Cliqbook could work for you.

Overwhelmed by all the options and time needed for the site’s development? The Compass Group Inc. creates custom registration websites for a standard price, which is great for large events since there’s no per person registration fee. Their websites can also include separate pages for the agenda, activity descriptions, local things to do, reimbursement policies or anything else you may need to communicate to guests!
