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.

The registration form is the only moment before the night itself when you can find out who is coming and what they are hoping to get out of it, so it is worth asking more than name and email — but not so much more that someone registering from their phone on the way home gives up halfway. This template splits the difference. Company, job title and industry give you the shape of the room; the LinkedIn Profile field lets you look someone up properly before you introduce them; and "I'm here to connect with..." is a multi-select rather than free text, because you cannot sort a hundred paragraphs into an introductions list but you can sort a hundred checkboxes. The Elevator Pitch field is where the host's opening line comes from, and Preferred Name is there because the badge should say what the person is actually called. formformform handles networking event registration without per-attendee fees and without pushing your guests through a ticketing platform's checkout just to say they're coming. Drink Preference and Dietary Restrictions give the bar and the kitchen real numbers instead of an estimate, and every response sits in your dashboard where you can export the list, build the badges from it, and send the joining details. If the event is free to attend, nothing here needs a payment step at all; if you do charge, take the money through whatever you already use and keep this form as the thing that tells you who is in the room. ## 12 form ideas you can build with this template ### Tech Founders Mixer Registration Captures founder name, startup name, stage, fundraising status, and "looking for" interests for an early-stage founder happy hour. ### Women in Business Networking Event Registration Records professional name, role, company, mentorship interest, and industry for a women's networking breakfast. ### Chamber of Commerce After Hours Registration Captures business name, industry, member status, and elevator pitch for a chamber networking happy hour. ### Real Estate Investor Meetup Registration Records investor type, market focus, deal stage, and partnership interests for a REI meetup. ### Industry Speed Networking Registration Captures attendee info, role, "looking for" categories, and round preference for a speed-networking night. ### Alumni Networking Mixer Registration Records graduation year, current employer, industry, and connection interests for an alumni professional event. ### Young Professionals Mixer Registration Captures attendee info, age bracket, industry, and committee interest for a YP networking happy hour. ### LinkedIn Local Meetup Registration Records LinkedIn URL, industry, current role, and conversation topic preference for a LinkedIn community meetup. ### Diversity in Tech Networking Event Registration Captures self-identification, role, current employer, and panel interest for a DEI tech mixer. ### Startup Pitch Night Registration Records founder name, company, pitch slot interest, and investor/founder/advisor role for a pitch night mixer. ### Freelancer Coworking Meetup Registration Captures freelancer name, discipline, rate range opt-in, and collab interests for a freelance community meetup. ### Industry Roundtable Registration Records seniority level, organization, topic preference, and Chatham House confidentiality acknowledgment for an executive roundtable mixer. ## What's included Professional contact + company info LinkedIn profile field for pre-event networking lookups Industry and job title capture "I'm here to connect with" multi-select for warm intros Elevator pitch field for the host's intro list Badge name preference Drink and dietary preference for the bar and kitchen Mobile-friendly so professionals can register from their phone ## How to create a networking event registration form 1. 1 Click "Use this template" to start with the networking event form pre-built. 2. 2 Update the industry dropdown to match the verticals your event actually serves (or remove it for a general networking event). 3. 3 Customize the "I'm here to connect with" checkbox options to match what your specific audience is looking for. 4. 4 Add event details to the intro paragraph — date, venue, dress code, food, drinks, hosted bar status. 5. 5 Set notification emails so you receive every registration as it comes in. 6. 6 Publish and embed on your event page, then share in your email list, LinkedIn posts, and partner outreach. ## Best practices for your networking event registration form Capture LinkedIn URLs 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. Use the "I'm here to connect with" field to plan introductions sort the registration list by category and make a list of who to introduce to whom before the event starts. Make the elevator pitch optional but visible people who fill it out are giving you a script for warm intros for free, but forcing it kills completion. Capture drink preference if you're hosting a bar pre-ordering wine vs beer based on registration data is the easiest way to avoid running out of one and overstocking the other. Keep job title open text but standardize titles for your final report "VP of Sales" and "Vice President, Sales" are the same person, and a quick post-event cleanup makes the attendee list easier to skim. Send a pre-event email with a sneak peek of who's coming "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. Follow up the next day with a list of attendees and their LinkedIn URLs the connection-making continues for days after the event, and the people who appreciate that touch will become regulars. ## Frequently asked questions Is this networking event registration form free? 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. Why does the form ask for a LinkedIn URL? 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. What is the "I'm here to connect with" checkbox for? 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. Can I use this for a small founders' breakfast or a big industry mixer? 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. How do I follow up with attendees after the event? 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. Can I capture dietary restrictions and drink preferences? 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. ## Related templates [Events Forms Conference Registration Form Register attendees for multi-day professional conferences with badges, sessions, and CE credits.](https://www.formformform.com/templates/conference-registration-form)[Events Forms Trade Show Registration Form Register attendees with company, role, and buying interests for your B2B trade show.](https://www.formformform.com/templates/trade-show-registration-form)[Events Forms Alumni Event Registration Form Register alumni for homecoming, regional mixers, and association events.](https://www.formformform.com/templates/alumni-event-registration-form)[Events Forms Event Registration Form Handle registrations for conferences, workshops, and any live event.](https://www.formformform.com/templates/event-registration-form)[Events Forms Trivia Quiz Template Run trivia nights, pub quizzes, and team challenges with a ready-to-use quiz form.](https://www.formformform.com/templates/trivia-quiz)[Events Forms Festival Registration Form Register attendees for a music, food, art, or cultural festival.](https://www.formformform.com/templates/festival-registration-form) ## More Event form templates - [Wedding Invitation Form template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/wedding-invitation-form) - [Event Vendor Registration Form template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/event-vendor-registration-form) - [5K Race Registration Form template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/5k-race-registration-form) - [Event Planning Brief template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/event-planning-brief-form) - [Corporate Event Inquiry template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/corporate-event-inquiry-form) - [Event Volunteer Coordinator Form template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/event-volunteer-coordinator-form) - [Event Attendee Feedback Form template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/event-feedback-form) - [Event Catering Request template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/event-catering-request-form) - [Event Photography Booking Request template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/event-photographer-booking-form) - [Event Debrief Form template](https://www.formformform.com/templates/post-event-debrief-form) [View all Event form templates →](https://www.formformform.com/form-templates/events-forms) Start with the Networking Event Registration Form template Free forever.
