Event Updates and How to Register with Us

We've been getting some positive responses to our event being held on Friday, 24 January 2014. We are about three-quarters of the way fully subscribed for the event. We will be sending out payment advice by the end of the week if we can confirm the event will happen. Yes, if you haven't read the FAQ yet, you should know that there is a registration fee. =) The fee is there to cover the cost of holding the event and also to discourage non-attendance after registration. As stated before, 7for7 is a project and not a business, but we do still need to charge a registration fee to cover costs.

One of the things that we've noticed is that folks have been a little confused by the event registration process. Registering for an event is really a 2-step process. Here's how the entire registration process works:

First, register with the website first.
On the desktop, click on "Register with Us!" on the panel on the right of the blog.



On the mobile, click on the little down arrow on the right hand side of the blog navigation bar at the top of the page. Then, select "Register with Us!". Clicking on "Register with Us" brings you to our site registration form.


This first step is "Site Registration". You only ever need to fill this form once. In this step, we record all your personal information such as name, year of birth, activities and interests so that you do not need to provide this information again if you attend subsequent events.

The next step is simply to register for the event itself, using the same email address and telephone number that you provided us with during site registration. Like so, on this page:



And that's it, you're done! For all subsequent event registrations, the process will be the same. You will only need to provide your email address and phone number for event registration as we already have your personal information from Site Registration.
