Current behavior:
List of event registrants is only available to account administrators

Desired behavior:
Since some people are motivated to register if they know that their friends are already registered, we need the ability to show the list of people who already registered to other users considering registering.

Notes:
1) Privacy is an important consideration. Each registrant should be made aware that his registration may be disclosed and should be able to opt-out of this.

I've recently received a number of requests from members to be able to view the list of members who have signed up for an event.  The need was specifically for car pooling.

Do you have any plans to allow members to view member attendee lists?

We do have it in our plans for later in the year. This has some privacy implications so we have to construct this carefully.

Hi,

I'd like to second this request. Our intended use is a bit different though. Essentially, we'd like to use the Event feature to create a Volunteer sign-up system. (Volunteer Activities and Events would be threaded together.) Members could then register to indicate intent to volunteer for a particular event, using the list of already registered members to guide them in selecting an appropriate volunteer date.

We may resort to using the blog to facilitate the volunteer sign-up process..although its unstructured nature is not ideal.

Ok, thanks, noted.

I would also like this feature to be available. It would be acceptable to only show the list to other logged in members as a way of protecting privacy. Quite often people make choices about events based on who else will be attending which along with things like car pooling make it quite a desirable feature.

This is my first post and I would like to say what a fantastic tool Wild Apricot promises to be for our club (particularly the treasurer and committee members) Thank you 

I think this could be good, but at the same time, members do want privacy and an opt out option would have to be available

I'm new to WA, but i also think this would be a good feature.

 We find we get a higher attendance on events when people know who is attending (friends of friends)

This same request was asked by our Conference Committee.   They would like it to be for members-only -- and they'd love to be able to have members pictures be displayed if possible.  Our group is very communicative during the year but there's nothing like the face-to-face conference to get everyone very comfortable.  We vote for this one too!

This is something that we are interested in as well.  We like the implimentation that Evite has, where there is a summary of yes/no/maybe responses, and then a running log of who's responded, including a comment.  We find that the comments particularly can help build interest in the event, and form an important part of the community feel of the association.

Since our association is mostly built around events, we would find some sort of listing of attendees extremely helpful.  We agree with the earlier comments that an opt out would be necessary, either at the time of regestration, or as part of the member record, or both. 

I also want to endorse this request.

Having this for my group administrators will help them to ensure they are getting maximum return on their investment...and...as a result...lead to more renewals.

Thank you.

I support the request for the list of registrants to be available to other members in some format. The privacy issue does create a constraint, however, I checked with my members and the feedback I received is they would be fine if their name or profile picture is visible (which is already visible to other members under the member directory), but they would like their contact information to remain private. In most cases, another member is be more likely to attend if they see that a familiar member is already registered. 

Another alternative is to show a tally of registrants for events that have no limitation on the number of attendees so that other members can see that there are other people registered... eg... "there are 7 attendees for this event".  When the members can see that there are other people registered it's more inviting to attend as well.
