Event registration software for exhibitions and events.
The money and the door on one ledger: free and paid registration on one form, the badge printed when the attendee arrives, every registration settled to your own Stripe account. Registration is one of ten things included in Crowd, the end-to-end technology for exhibitions, events and festivals.
- One form. free trade registration and paid passes on your one page, with the questions you need and none you do not.
- The door knows. every registration is scannable at the gate, on a phone or a kiosk, and the live count updates as they arrive.
- Your list. export every field to your spreadsheet at any time. The attendee data is yours, in your account.

Registration that runs the desk, not just the form.
Free and paid on one form
Trade attendees register free, the public buys a ticket, sponsors get a comp code. One form, one list, one ledger.
Custom questions
Company, role, ABN, dietary needs, session choice. Ask what you need at the point of registration and report on it later.
Wallet tickets
Every registration lands in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet with a QR code, and is emailed on purchase. Nobody prints at home.

Kiosk self check-in
A tablet on a stand. The attendee scans, the badge prints, the line moves. Works offline when the hall has no signal.
Sessions and capacity
Session tickets with caps. When a session fills it closes itself and the page shows the next one with seats left.

Set up event registration in four steps.
- Step 1
Create the event
Name, dates, venue, your logo and colours. The event page and the embeddable checkout are live in a few minutes.
- Step 2
Add the registration types
Free trade registration, paid passes, comps. Set the questions, the caps and the sessions for each.
- Step 3
Publish and share
Your own event page, or the checkout embedded in your site. Registrations start landing in your list and your Stripe account.
- Step 4
Open the doors
Scan on a phone or a kiosk, print badges, watch the live count. Export the list when the show closes.
Who registered, who arrived, and every door scanning.
Registration is not a list, it is a live count. The dashboard shows who has registered and who has actually walked in, per type, while every door runs on a scanner link: send it to a volunteer and their own phone is the scanner, revoke it and that door is closed.

Printing badges
Scan, print, lanyard on, through the door.
A badge template per attendee type, printed at the desk or a kiosk the moment the registration is scanned. For exhibitor staff, the check-in pop-up shows the booth allocation and the lanyard colour, so the right lanyard goes on and they are pointed at the right aisle without a second question.
Badge printing
Per-ticket-type designs on the event’s own branding. What you see is what prints.

Every scan is timestamped, so the show plays back in 30-minute slots: when the queue built, which day carried the gate, and when to roster the second scanner next year. Saturday at ten is your show; put the extra kiosk out before it, not after the queue forms.

Running event registration on Crowd
How do I set up event registration?
Create the event, add a registration type (free, paid or comp), set the questions you want answered, and publish. The event page and the embed code are ready as soon as you save. Most organisers are live inside an hour.
Can I run free and paid registration on one form?
Yes. A free trade registration and a paid public ticket sit on the same form as two types. The attendee picks one, answers the questions for it, and both land in the same list and the same ledger.
What does event registration software cost?
Crowd starts at US$29 per seat a month on Starter, pay as you go. Growth is US$399 per seat a month with no ticket, booth or sponsorship fees. Registration, check-in and badges are part of that, for as many people as you register. Details are on the pricing page.
Does it print a badge at check-in?
Yes. Scan the QR code on the attendee’s wallet pass or email and the badge prints from any label printer at the desk, using a template per attendee type. A kiosk does the same without staff.
Can I export the registration list?
Yes. Every field, including your custom questions and check-in times, exports to CSV at any point before, during or after the show. The data sits in your account and stays there.
Is it PCI compliant and where is the data held?
Payments run on Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, and card details never touch Crowd. Registration data is held in an Australian-region database and you control who on your team can see it.
How do scanner links work?
Each door gets its own link. Anyone who opens it on their phone sees the scanner for your event and nothing else, so volunteers use their own phones and there is no hardware to hire. Revoke the link and that door stops scanning the same minute.
Can I see who has registered but not arrived?
Yes. The registration dashboard shows registered against through-the-door, live and per type, so at 10 am you know how many trade attendees are still to come and whether the second kiosk should go out now.
What is the best event registration software for exhibitions and trade shows?
The one that treats the exhibitor side and the attendee side as one business. Most registration tools stop at the attendee form; an exhibition also sells booths, collects deposits, pays suppliers and prints exhibitor badges. Crowd was built for that whole show, by an organiser.
