Participant Categories in Trippus are used to group different types of participants!

If you event has only one admission type, then there will be only one participant category. However, you event could have multiple participant categories.

Examples could include:

  • Members
  • Non-members
  • Staff
  • Speakers
  • Exhibitors
  • VIP
  • Sponsors

You can also use Participant Categories to set up different session types or tracks.

 

Using different participant categories allows you to highly tailor an attendee's entire registration and event journey! 

On a per-category basis you can (for example):

  • Offer different pricing overall, for activities, and accommodation. 
  • Allow different promotional codes
  • Show different registration questions
  • Show different text during the registration process
  • Show different activities
  • Offer different accommodation options
  • Have a different website (event page)
  • Send different emails (including confirmations)
  • Show different Survey Questions
  • Send segmented texts
  • Run segmented reports

 

When creating a new event, one participant category is automatically is created. That participant category is always called Participants, and you can rename it if you like. You can create as many categories as you need!

 

Participant Categories can also be set up and used internally by you as an administrator to manually register participants (and not released to the public).
