Pre-registration lets people leave their email address before your event is published. Use it to collect early interest from visitors who have your event link while you are still preparing full registration or ticket checkout.
The Coming Soon form
When a visitor submits the pre-registration form, HeySummit creates or reuses an attendee record with the status Pre-Registered. Pre-registration is not completed registration and does not select a ticket or register the visitor for sessions. If your event requires a name up front, the form asks for that too.
The form can appear on your Coming Soon page while the event is in draft mode. To remove it, open the Coming Soon page in the page builder, find the Pre-Registration CTA block in Blocks, open its three-dot menu and select Delete. A block may be labelled Attendee Pre-Registration CTA.
Find pre-registered attendees
Go to Registration & Attendees > Attendees. Pre-registered attendees appear in the main report. Use Filter records > Status > Pre-Registered, then Filter, to see that group. The report also has an Export control.
Contact them before registration opens
Pre-registering does not send the completed-registration welcome email or a session schedule. Those depend on completed registration and the relevant email settings. If you want to contact people before they complete registration, you can export them from the attendee report and use your own email provider. When you are ready to open the full event site, see Publish or unpublish your event.
