A light-hearted way of describing how an event team runs registration. Mitingu sees five common set-ups: the Platform Loyalist, the Spreadsheet Wrangler, the Bespoke Builder, the Shopkeeper and the Juggler. Each one works, up to the point where it quietly starts eating the team's time.

The Platform Loyalist: You chose a system, you stuck with it, and it mostly works. The Spreadsheet Wrangler: A form, an inbox and a spreadsheet. Free, flexible, and held together by you. The Bespoke Builder: Your event site looks exactly how you want it. Getting it there took a while. The Shopkeeper: Your website already sells things, so why not event places? The Juggler: All of the above, depending on the week. Impressive, and slightly exhausting.

Four questions about how you handle a guest's dietary change, send joining instructions, report on an event and set up the next one. Each answer matches one set-up, and the one you choose most often is your result. A tie makes you a Juggler. It takes about 30 seconds and your answers are not saved.

Yes. Fill in the short form on your result and Mitingu will build a demo event site in your organisation's branding, with a sample event already set up, so you can click through it the way your guests and your team would. There is no obligation and nothing to install.

Move one event onto a registration platform first. With Mitingu that means a branded event site, one live guest list, confirmations and reminders that send themselves, and check-in on the day from the same list, so there is nothing to copy between spreadsheets and inboxes.
