If you have an open event website, but want to give access to a participant category that is not available to everyone on your event page, you can use an event code and a direct registration link.
Go to The Event → Basic setup → Participant categories, and click Edit next to the relevant category. Select Requires an invitation via the system or an event code under Access to registration. Then activate Event code and enter a code (e.g. “partner2025”). Choose whether to link directly to the registration process and whether the code may only be used once. Then click Save.
You can now click View access code next to Event code in your participant category. This opens a window with a link that includes your event code – e.g.:
https://[site].conferencemanager.events/?eventcode=partner2025
Copy this link and send it to the participants who should access the hidden category.
When a participant opens the link, the hidden category will be pre-selected in the registration form.
Avoid using special characters (such as æ, ø, ä, %, &, etc.) in your event code link, as it may cause formatting issues in emails.
