Links are one of the most convenient features of the internet. The ability to go from website to website and land exactly at the information you are looking for is like opening a book and getting the page you need every time.

If you can anticipate the information that your event participants need and point them directly to it, when they need it, you will get more registrations and make registering and attending your event more enjoyable and beneficial.

Before we get to a list of links that you may want to use, keep in mind that you can over do it. Try to keep your registration form uncluttered by only adding links that will help during the actual registration process. The rest of the links should go in the confirmation email or on the event website where they can be accessed after the registration has been submitted.

Maps Not everyone will know how to get to the venue, Google maps are easy and very convenient to use.

Transportation If you anticipate that event participants will be using public transit, provide a link with transit options, schedules, fares, etc. Also considering providing links to taxis, limousine companies, etc.

Airport If you expect people form out of town a link to the airport can be handy.

Accommodations Maybe you have arranged a special rate for event participants at a local hotel or just know of one that is convenient to the event location.

Sponsors Give your sponsors some additional exposure and have links on your website and in your confirmation email.

Venue Provide a link to the venue's website if it is a museum, gallery or other place of interest. Venue websites often have directions on how to get there, where to park etc.

Schedule of events If there is too much information to include as text in a confirmation email, post a schedule of events on your website and provide a link in the confirmation email so people can easily check back and make their plans.

Session details This is a good one to have on your registration form. List the times, date, speakers and other details on your website with a link from the registration form. This way you can provide a lot of detail without adding clutter to the form.
