Without iveo
The guest list often lives in a spreadsheet, registration runs through a separate form tool, and acceptances also come in by email. Someone has to copy registrations across by hand, and whether a person attends on-site or online sits in a column one time and in a note the next.
With iveo
In iveo, guests belong to the same event as the programme and the people. If a guest is also speaking on stage, you link the entry to the person in the people directory. Self-registered, invited and manually added guests sit on one list, with the same fields and a note of where each entry came from.
The public registration page shows visitors only their own form, never the list behind it. How to set up the module, the list and registration is explained in the guide to guests and registration.
