Attendee Types are used to identify different types of participants within your Event (such as Attendee, Exhibitor, Speaker, Staff, etc.). You can create any number of Attendee Types for an event. A default Attendee Type of Attendee is included in any new Event. You can rename/edit/delete it as necessary.

Possible uses for Attendee Types

• Assigning fees to each Registrant - Each Attendee Type can be configured with up to five date-expiring fees (i.e., Early Bird, Regular, and On-site).
• Limiting the number of Registrants (for example, optional Capacity limits, and waitlisting).
• If you are using the Accommodation module, Attendee Types can be used to restrict the visibility of specific room types available to an Attendee.
• If you are using the Appointments module, Attendee Types are used to define who can have appointments with whom.
• If you are using the Registration Groups module, Attendee Types are used to define who can be a member of each group.
• If you are using the Registration Groups as Promo Codes module, Attendee Types are used to define who can use each promo code.
