Build Event Registration Forms Faster with updated Form Builder

In our last update, we have added a few important features to the platform viz. Option to add Multi-level drop down navigation menus, Abstract Rating filter to filter abstracts by its overall average rating, and some more.

But amongst all the updates, the most important was the Drag and Drop feature in Form builder, Page Labels and Widgets Manager. Earlier, to order items, one has to enter synchronised numbers so an item numbered 1 comes before the item numbered 2, and item numbered 6 should go after item numbered 5, and so on. That, we figured, involved too much Mathematics and was taking a lot of toll on an already busy brain! Thus, Drag & Drop feature.

This, hopefully, will make it much easier now to arrange fields, pages and widgets. Give it a try and let us know if you love the new updates!

The Event Platform for Programming Conferences

If you’re hosting a programming conference, Dryfta is your best bet. Period.

event-platform-programming-conferences

For most event organizers, it is a very common approach to set up an event management platform using a smorgasbord of tools viz. WordPress, Eventbrite, OpenCFP and Mailchimp. But what would it be like if you could have used these tools from a single platform, all fully integrated with one another, making for a seamless data flow among each other. This is exactly the pain point Dryfta event platform solves.

Click on Manage button to manage your event.
Use Copy button to copy your event along with the event data. You have the option to choose which event data you want to copy on to the new event.
Delete button is there to delete the event. Please note that the event is not deleted right away. It goes in hibernation for 13 days and you have all that time to repeal the deletion process. If you do not do anything, the event shall be subsequently deleted from the system.

The more you know your visitors, the more you understand your prospective attendees, and make decisions accordingly like which prospects need more targeting and re-targeting, for which countries should you increase your ad spending for your event, and other similarly important decisions. These decisions are what is going to make your event a success.

 

Break your Long Event Registration Form into Multiple Short Forms

A long & lengthy event registration form is a major put off and deters attendees from signing up for the event. One way is to refrain from asking too much information upfront during the online event registration. Try limiting your event registration form to basic information only viz. Name, Email address etc. You can always ask them to update their profile later from their dashboard once they have signed up.

multiple-forms-pagebreak-Dryfta-registration

However, if it is imperative to collect all the information during the registration process, then you can break the form into multiple pages. This basically means breaking a large form into multiple small forms, connected by next & previous buttons, making it easy for attendees to fill up the form with the required information and proceed to the next form and eventually complete the event registration process.

Dryfta has a Pagebreak button to break your form into multiple pages with option to define form headings and buttons to move back and forth when filling the registration form.

This button is also available for other forms including abstract submission and review submission forms, making it easy for authors and reviewers to submit their papers and reviews respectively. Give it a try!

 

What sets Dryfta apart from other event platforms?

event-platform-apps-integration

The one unique difference between Dryfta and every other event platform is that Dryfta is built with integration in mind. Over the next few months, we are planning to integrate Dryfta with widely used apps including Salesforce, Mailchimp, WordPress and Quickbooks. We completely understand that the future is about collaboration between platforms. We’ll keep you posted!

 

The Pain Points that Dryfta Solves

dryfta-event-platform

 

A common approach to set up an academic or a nonprofit conference is to use an array of tools, e.g., WordPress, Eventbrite, Easychair, and Mailchimp. Then put your staff into multi-tasking mode and try to get your event off the ground.

What would it be like if you could access all of these features from a single platform, all fully integrated, making for a seamless, unified data flow? Dryfta event platform solves this issue of unstructured data flow caused primarily due to using one too many tools by offering a set of fully-integrated tools. Let’s see how Dryfta stacks up with each of these tools regarding features and functionality.
