Linking people and events The particulars are unique to each but there is a pattern to event registration needs: A registration system links people to events and event options to create registrations. PER does that smoothly, as well as helps you plan and budget events, and manage communications with participants. What PER is not There is a mind-boggling array of on-line registration systems available, usually from companies that charge a transaction fee in addition to credit-card charges, etc. PER suits the organization that handles event registrations by mail, email, phone and fax, as well as from the Web. Low-tech? Human-mediated. PER will be a boon for organizers who find the question “Where did all the people go?” troubling. Technology meets human relations. Computers should make people more efficient and their lives easier, not replace them.

It consists of a main Registrations file, a linked Help file and a starter set of Backgrounds to customize the appearance. | Specifications [PDF 412K]
