Registration is the process of getting the member's information recorded. This can be done at the time of membership sale, or when the member physically arrives at the convention. The amount of information to be recorded is highly variable, from nothing, to just name and address, to all the particulars of interests and activities the member intends to engage in at the convention. The intended use of the data will determine what is requested of the member.

The Registration department manages both Pre-Registration and At-Con registration. Some conventions have separate people in charge of the two functions. Pre-Registration is done by mail, in person at Room Parties and other events, and online. Whenever pre-registrations are taken in person, a receipt should be given to the registrant as proof of their membership.

Registration rates are often defined in tiers, with different prices for registration before the con and At-The-Door.

There is usually a Registration Desk at the convention, though Program Participant Registration may be handled through the green room or simply filed separately to support the handing out of program participant information packets. If you do separate out program participant registrations (or any other category of member), it's important that the people be told in advance where they should go to pick it up, and that that place be open at least all the hours that registration is. Nothing makes program participants think you're disorganized or incompetent faster than not being able to get their registration!

Registration is one of the bigger responsibilities and jobs in a convention. In addition to handling the vast majority of the convention's money and interacting with every single member, registration also is responsible for capturing contact information from each member that will enable the con's publicity activities in the coming year (sending progress reports for the next convention to the people who attended this or a recent one). Usually, Registration also assumes ownership of the information in question, and responsibility for it accuracy, between when it is collected and when it is used.

Registration may also be responsible for badge production; at the minimum, they need to provide the information (at an absolute minimum a count; often these days the information to put on pre-printed badges) needed for badge production.

Some conventions prepare "registration packets" for each member, containing their badge and anything else to be handed to each member. This can be handy, since it provides a place to put special things to be given to an individual member, like notes, program participant information, and the like. On the other hand, they take a lot of work to prepare, and things like the program book are more easily simply kept in a pile on the desk and handed out. Program participants can go to the green room or program operations to get their program information. 北京搬家 北京搬家 北京搬家 北京搬家 北京搬家 Kvm 汽车陪练 装饰公司 会议服务 展览制作 装饰装潢 李志顺 李志顺 汽车陪练 印刷公司 地暖 性病 尖锐湿疣 生殖器疱疹 北京搬家 飞机票预定 租车 汽车租赁 门窗厂 汽车陪练 北京公司注册 工商注册 注册公司 IBM服务器 性病 尖锐湿疣 生殖器疱疹 惠普激光打印机 惠普打印机维修 汽车租赁 租车 MBA 机票价格 飞机票预定 hp服务器 Dell服务器 IBM服务器 国际快递公司 国际快递 国际速递 国际快运 货运公司 电子天平 分析天平 造粒机 吹膜机 制袋机 胶带机 打包带机 塑料造粒机 塑料吹膜机 塑料制袋机 塑料颗粒机 再生塑料颗粒机 国际展会 国际展览 展览公司 热水器维修 电热水器维修 燃气灶维修 油烟机维修 代开发票 装饰公司 北京途胜 维拉克斯 新胜达 华泰圣达菲 口语 英语学习网 三维动画制作 动画制作 地暖 地暖公司 二手房律师 二手房过户 房产律师 房产纠纷 北京二手房买卖 调查 碎纸机 文件柜 汽车陪练 汽车陪练 汽车陪练 北京写字楼 写字楼出租 写字楼 北京搬家 北京搬家 会议服务 展览制作 装饰装潢 北京保洁 燃气灶维修 节能节电 翻译公司 陪练 汽车陪练 北京汽车陪练 空调净化 自动门 特价国际机票 电缆桥架 电脑回收 利升超薄灯箱 木雕加工 工程机械租赁
