Event Registration Form

A registration form has one job: give you an accurate headcount and the handful of facts you need to run the day. Every question beyond that costs you sign-ups. This one keeps nine, and four of them exist purely because caterers, venues and accessibility require them.

Why these questions

Dietary requirements are a short text field rather than a checkbox list, because checkbox lists never contain the allergy the one person in the room actually has. Accessibility is asked in the same open way and for the same reason.

The question about which session someone plans to attend is optional and non-binding, and it is worth including even though people change their minds: it tells you which room to put in the big hall.

The limit Google Forms puts on this

Google Forms cannot take a payment and cannot cap the number of responses on its own, so a free registration is straightforward and a paid or limited one is not. For paid events, collect the registration here and send an invoice or a payment link afterwards. For limited capacity, watch the linked spreadsheet and close the form yourself when you hit the number.
