Workshop Registration Template

A workshop lives or dies on group composition. Twelve people and one instructor for three hours means every seat you fill changes the experience of the other eleven — which is why a workshop registration form asks fewer logistics questions and more calibration questions than a general event form.

Why these fields. The date picker offers full session labels with times, because workshop no-shows are overwhelmingly calendar accidents rather than changed minds; showing "Saturday 10:00–13:00" at the moment of commitment beats a reminder email sent later. The experience-level question is the instructor's prep sheet: a room of complete beginners needs pre-cut materials and a slower first hour, while a mixed room needs a stretch task ready for the fast finishers. It is required because "I'll figure out the room when I see it" is how workshops run twenty minutes behind. The toolkit question drives a real count — studio kits cost money and bench space, and knowing you need seven kits instead of twelve changes your materials order. The source dropdown earns its place on a workshop form specifically because workshops repeat: when you run this session monthly, knowing that Instagram fills two-thirds of your seats tells you where next month's budget goes.

What we left out. Phone numbers (a three-hour workshop rarely needs day-of calls — email covers reschedules), dietary questions (bring snacks, skip the catering matrix), and skill self-assessments longer than one question. Workshop registration should feel like claiming a spot, not applying for one.

Who uses this. Ceramics and woodworking studios, cooking schools running technique nights, makerspaces onboarding new members through project sessions, photography instructors running golden-hour walks, and software trainers doing hands-on labs.

Make it yours. Set the response cap in Settings to your bench count — the form closes itself at capacity, which is exactly the "sold out" behavior a small workshop needs. Rewrite the safety-guidelines label to name your actual rules (closed shoes, no loose sleeves near the lathe). If your sessions differ by skill level, add a Logic rule that reveals a "show us your work" link question only for the advanced option. And keep the Focus render mode: one question per screen suits the quick, phone-first way people commit to a weekend activity.

Between sessions. The CSV export across several runs becomes your marketing memory — which dates fill fastest, which channel brings beginners versus returners, and who has attended twice and might want an advanced session. That is the data that turns a one-off workshop into a program.
