Objective:
To efficiently manage participant registration and collect all essential information needed to ensure a smooth, personalized, and well-organized Neftaly event.

3. Track and Manage Registrations

- Ensure staff and volunteers are informed of changes to participant lists.
6. Prepare On-Site Materials
- Generate attendee lists, printed name tags, welcome packets, and check-in sheets based on registration data.
- Segment participants by group, session, or role to streamline on-site check-in.
7. Integration with Other Planning Teams
