Learn how to set up and manage event registration in Adobe Connect to control access and deliver a smooth attendee experience.
Adobe Connect Events require registration for attendees to participate. As an event host or administrator, you have several options for managing the registration process:
- Setting up the registration form and questions
- Configuring approval requirements
- Managing registrant lists
- Customizing registration confirmation emails
Whether you're hosting a webinar, training session, or virtual classroom, setting up the registration flow correctly ensures a smooth and secure experience for your attendees. This article walks you through the complete process of setting up event registration in Adobe Connect.
The following topics are covered in this article:
Setup event registration for a new event
To begin managing registrations, you first need to create and configure a new event in Adobe Connect. The event creation process allows you to define key details like the event title, template, and associated content, setting the foundation for your registration setup.
To set up event registration:
-
Select Events on the Adobe Connect Central home.
-
Select New Event. Select an event template and enter basic event details. View How to create an event in Adobe Connect for more information.
-
Select Next and select content to be added to the event. View Select Event content for more information
-
Select Next.
-
On the Create Registration page:
- Four default questions are pre-selected: Email, Password, Retype Password, Name.
- Select any additional registration questions you want to include.

Enable registration without a password
To allow easy event registration, you can enable participants to log in using only their email address by selecting this option when creating an event. Registered users must still use their username and password.
When creating an event, on the Enter Event Information page, select Register Without Password. Enabling registration without a password allows participants to register and log in to the event by using only their email address. Since this setting allows registrants to update their existing profiles without entering a password, Adobe recommends not enabling it if most participants are expected to be repeat users. This setting cannot be changed after creating an event.
View Start the Event wizard for more information.
Configure registration approval
By default, Adobe Connect events do not require approval - all registrants are automatically approved to attend.
To require manual approval:
Select Attendee Approval in the Event creation page. Select this option if attendees need approval after registering.
With approval required:
- Registrants will receive a "pending approval" status after registering.
- Event hosts must manually approve registrations before attendees can join.
- This allows you to screen participants before granting access.
Manage event registrations
Add and delete users, groups, and guests from the mailing list. Invite unregistered guests, registered users, and groups, select registration groups, and/or import a CSV list of guests. You can:
- View the full list of registrants and their status
- Search for specific registrants
- Import or export the registrant list to CSV
- Change registrant status (Approved, Denied, Pending)
- Remove registrants from the event
View Add participants to the event for more information.
Customize event registration mails
Send email invitations to participants that include essential details such as the event's date, time, duration, and URL. You can enhance these invitations by using rich HTML formatting. Additionally, you can create various templates for different types of emails.
