After creating the visitor and exhibitor form, you should publish the forms to be able to share the forms online and to start getting registrations for your event.

The settings for publishing a visitor form are different from those for an exhibitor form. Find out in this article how to set them up correctly.

Before publishing your visitor form, the event must be published, the form must be properly created and it will be necessary to correctly activate the form's settings.

Four types of forms


You can publish a visitor form that takes one of the following formats:


  • Regular: a regular form involves creating a user's beamian account before the visitor filling out the form. For email validation and confirmation purposes.


  • Live: an open form without creating a user beamian account.


  • Micro: a form without user account creation, however, a double email confirmation is required before the visitor fills out the form.


  • Live-micro: it’s used for anonymous questionnaires and must be activated solely by beamian team members. Otherwise, it will not be properly implemented.


Please note: If you are using Live, Micro or Live-Micro forms, please consider reading the article on the types of fields, because it’s necessary to select the checkbox "Micro Form" when creating form fields so that they will be visible on these form.
