Run a networking event that actually delivers connections, not just a room of strangers. This template captures the LinkedIn URL, elevator pitch, and "I'm here to connect with..." categories that let you make warm introductions on the night — and gives the bartender an accurate count for wine vs beer.
A networking event registration form is the difference between a successful mixer and an awkward room of strangers staring at their drinks. The forms most events use capture the basics — name, email, company — and then leave it up to attendees to figure out who to talk to once they walk in. The hosts who run the best mixers do something different: they capture connection intent at registration and use it to make warm introductions on the night.
This template is built around that philosophy. The standard professional fields are there (name, email, company, title, industry), plus a LinkedIn URL field so the host can scan profiles before the event. The "I'm here to connect with..." checkbox group is the key field — when you know in advance who's looking for clients, who's looking for mentors, and who's looking for partners, you can introduce people who actually want to talk to each other. The elevator pitch field gives you the source material for those intros without making anyone scramble for words mid-conversation.
formformform handles networking event registration without per-attendee fees, without commission on ticket sales, and without forcing your guests through a cluttered checkout flow. Embed the form on your meetup page, share the link in your email list, and the registrations land directly in your dashboard. Whether your event is a 25-person founders' breakfast or a 250-person industry mixer, the form just works.

the single most useful field for any networking event. Skim profiles the night before and you'll be able to make warm introductions all evening instead of guessing.
sort the registration list by category and make a list of who to introduce to whom before the event starts.
people who fill it out are giving you a script for warm intros for free, but forcing it kills completion.
pre-ordering wine vs beer based on registration data is the easiest way to avoid running out of one and overstocking the other.
"VP of Sales" and "Vice President, Sales" are the same person, and a quick post-event cleanup makes the attendee list easier to skim.
"here are 8 people we think you should meet" emails dramatically increase show-up rates and make attendees feel like the host is paying attention.
the connection-making continues for days after the event, and the people who appreciate that touch will become regulars.
Yes, completely free. No per-registrant fee, no cap on attendees, no monthly cost. The form, the embed, and the submissions are all free no matter how large your event grows.
The LinkedIn URL is the single most useful field for any networking event host. It lets you scan profiles before the event, make warm introductions on the night, and follow up afterward. It's optional so attendees who don't have a profile aren't blocked, but most professionals fill it out.
It's a multi-select that captures what each attendee is hoping to get out of the event — clients, hires, mentors, investors, partners, peers, or open. The host uses this data to make warm introductions on the night, sorting attendees by category to spot mutual matches.
Both. The template is designed to scale from a 10-person founders' breakfast to a 500-person industry mixer. The fields are equally useful at any size — knowing who's in the room and what they're looking for matters whether you're introducing 10 people or 100.
Export the registrations to CSV after the event and send a personal follow-up email with the attendee list and LinkedIn URLs. The best networking events deliver connections after the event, not just during it, and a follow-up list is the easiest way to do that.
Yes. The template includes a drink preference dropdown (wine, beer, cocktail, non-alcoholic) for the bar and a dietary restrictions field for the kitchen. Both are optional — most events use them to plan the bar and food order accurately.
