There is no one right way to manage events, but some ways are easier than others. Nearly every site that needs to implement an event registration/management solution requires a slightly (or significantly) different process for handling events. Luckily, Drupal and a variety of contributed modules provide excellent building blocks that can be assembled into a solid event management system. Add in some rules and custom glue code and the options for customization are nearly endless.

This session will primarily focus on contributed modules and custom glue code that can be combined to enable functionality such as:  

• paid event registrations (using commerce_registration and registration_commerce)
• early bird pricing
• member’s only events
• waitlists
• time slots with limit capacities
• tracking attendance
• integrating with a CRM such as Salesforce.

Attendees should be familiar with the basics of the Entity Registration and Commerce modules to get the most out of this session.
