Workshop & webinar registration portal

A workshop and webinar registration portal is where attendees register themselves and open the slides and workbooks for each session, and hosts see who's coming.

Describe it to Pory

“We run a free grant-writing workshop series for local nonprofits. People should register themselves, get the slides and workbooks, and I want to see who's coming.”

How Pory sets it up

Pory gives every attendee and host a sign-in of their own. Each attendee sees only their own registrations. It covers signup & materials. Registrations, before and after, materials, program, attendees and riverbend team live in Pory's own database, so there's no spreadsheet to keep in sync.

What it does

01

People register themselves and land straight in the attendee area

Registrations came through a form tool, then someone emailed each person the slides link by hand. In Pory an attendee creates their own account from the sign-up page and arrives in the attendee role, with the materials page already waiting. The host stops keeping a mailing list of who asked for what.

02

Slides, workbooks and templates for every session on one page

After every session came the same dozen emails asking for the slides, and the workbook link got buried in a newsletter. In Pory the host uploads slides, workbooks and templates against each session, and signed-in attendees open them from one list. "Could you resend the deck?" stops being the most common reply to a thank-you email.

03

Hosts see who's registered for each session, faces and all

The host used to piece together the attendee list from form notifications the night before. In Pory every attendee shows up in a directory with their name, photo and organization, filtered to the next session, so the host can tailor examples to who's actually in the room. Name tags stop being written from a forwarded email at 8:50am.

Frequently asked questions

An attendee signs in with a link sent to their email and lands on Home. They see Home, My materials, My bookings, Program and Joining details, and only the registrations that are theirs. From there they can use “Book another workshop”.

Only hosts. It's hidden from attendees: it doesn't appear on their pages or in the records they open.

Yes. The portal has a sign-up page, and everyone who signs up lands in the attendee role with that role's view.
