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, enter a code (e.g. “partner2025”), and click Save.
A direct link will now appear at the bottom of the window, including 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.
