Registration and capacity

Register A Whole Cohort In One Upload

Prospective students, parents, faculty and alumni each register through the form and ticket that fit them.

  • A form for each audience. Every user group has its own form, emails and app permissions, built in the registration form builder.
  • Cohort import. Bulk import a class list or department from CSV or XLS.
  • Campus-only access. Pre-approve your institution's email domain and send everyone else to approval.
  • Seats and waitlists. Cap a ticket or the whole event and open a waitlist when it fills.
  • Free, paid and approval-only tickets. Student, staff and guest tickets in one event, with discount codes for alumni.
  • Campus login. Single sign-on through your identity provider, as an add-on.
Sessions and workshops

Lectures, Workshops And Tours With Seat Limits That Hold

Build a multi-track agenda and let attendees reserve their seats, so the popular workshop never overflows into the corridor.

  • Session RSVP. A fixed capacity per session and a waitlist mode: approve by hand, notify everyone, or auto-confirm the next in line.
  • Day-wise access. Multi-day conferences open only the days on each attendee's ticket or group, with day-wise access.
  • Live, recorded or hybrid. Stream a lecture through Zoom or YouTube Live, or post a recording that opens at the start time. See virtual and hybrid setup.
  • Polls, Q&A and ratings. Live polls and Q&A in every session, then a rating and a short survey.
  • Room changes in seconds. Push alerts and email reach every attendee when a session moves.

Attendance and certificates

Completion Certificates For Every Workshop And CPD Day

Teacher training and student workshops need proof of who was in the room. Scan it at the door and send certificates without a spreadsheet.

  • Scan in, scan out. Students check in with the app or a room QR code, and check out when they leave, through session check-in.
  • No more paper sign-in sheets. The NAFOA conference team replaced paper sheets for CPE credits with session scanning.
  • Certificates after the survey. Link a completion certificate to the workshop survey and it goes out on submit, with the certificate designer.
  • Points on the certificate. Add attendee details or gamification points to each certificate.
  • Attendance by session. Exportable records for faculty, CPD files and leadership.
Engagement and gamification

Get Students Moving With Quests, Trivia And Leaderboards

Turn an orientation or open day into a game that sends students to every corner of campus.

Most people at the event installed it, and it meant we had a close to Zero Paper conference.

Agenda, speakers, maps and live updates in the app instead of a printed programme.

Networking and career fairs

Career Fairs Where Students And Recruiters Actually Meet

Match students with employers, faculty and alumni before the day, then make every booth visit count.

  • Tag-based matchmaking. Suggest connections by course, interest or industry with matchmaking.
  • 1:1 meeting requests. Students request meetings with recruiters, faculty or speakers.
  • QR contact swap. Scan a badge QR code to exchange details on the fair floor.
  • Employer booths. Employer profiles, booth maps and lead scanning for recruiters.
  • Separate audiences. Keep judges, recruiters or staff in their own group until you choose to open it up.

FAQs

Education Event Management Software, Answered

What is education event management software?
Education event management software is a platform for the events schools, universities and education associations run: open days, orientations, academic conferences, teacher training, workshops and career fairs. It covers registration, session sign-ups with seat limits, check-in, an event app, engagement tools, certificates and attendance reports.
We have never used an event platform before. Is Eventify hard to start with?
No. Volunteer and one-person teams run their events on Eventify: TESOL-SPAIN's convention is run by volunteers, and the organiser of the ROOTED in Resistance conference built her full event app in two days. Support answers questions while you build.
Can students register as a group or as part of a class?
Yes. You can bulk import a class list, cohort or department from a CSV or XLS file into the right user group, so students do not each fill in a form. Individual registration stays open for everyone else.
Can we limit registration to our own students and staff?
Yes. Pre-approve your institution's email domain or a list of addresses, and send other registrations to approval. Single sign-on with your campus identity provider is offered as an add-on.
What happens when a session or event is full?
Turn on a waitlist for a ticket, the whole event or a single session. For sessions you choose the waitlist mode: approve people by hand, notify everyone when a seat frees up, or confirm the next person automatically.
Can we run an in-person and an online version of the same event?
Yes. Add a Zoom or YouTube Live link, or a recording, to any session. In-person attendees check in with QR codes while remote attendees join the stream, polls and Q&A on the same platform.
Can we give certificates for workshops and CPD sessions?
Yes. Design certificates with attendee details and gamification points, then email them in bulk or link a certificate to a session survey so it is issued as soon as the survey is submitted. Session check-in gives you the attendance record behind each certificate.
Can we use different ticket types for students, faculty and guests?
Yes. Create as many ticket types as you need, each with its own price, form and access, including free tickets, paid tickets and tickets that need approval. Discount codes work for alumni or early registration.
How do we keep students engaged during long events?
Use quests that send students around campus to scan QR codes and upload photos, trivia with points, a leaderboard, live polls and Q&A, a social feed and community discussions. Push notifications tell everyone what is happening next.
Is our attendee data safe?
Eventify is ISO 27001:2022 certified, holds a SOC 2 Type II report and is GDPR compliant. Roles and permissions are set per user group. See Eventify security.
