# How do I open an event for public registration?

> Three switches must all be on before the public can register for an event, and what event registration deliberately leaves out.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Three independent switches, all off by default: the **Events** feature for your club (a superadmin), the **Events** page toggle under **Website → Pages**, and the event's own **Open for public registration**. Without the third, turning the others on would publish your board meetings.
  * Registration opens and closes in club-local time; a blank open time means midnight and a blank close time means 23:59 on that day.
  * A full event is a hard refusal — there is no event waitlist. Discount codes on events and add-on fees per event are also not available (the event's base price is).
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Make sure Events is on for the club">
    If **Registrations → Events** is in your sidebar, it is. Otherwise ask a superadmin.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Show the Events page on your website">
    Go to **Website → Pages** (headed **Page Visibility**) and switch on **Events** — "Show a public Events page… Each event must also be opened for registration individually." Click **Save Changes**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the event itself">
    Edit the event and switch on **Open for public registration**. Under **Registration Availability** choose **Open Registration Now** or **Schedule Registration** with **Registration Opens** / **Registration Closes**. Save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check">
    Use **View on site** on the event page. Registrants are charged the event's **Price** through the normal checkout and appear on the attendee list as **Signed Up**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Where a member registers for a paid event and you later switch Events off, they stay on the attendee list — the roster row is written when payment completes, regardless of the feature. An export of event registrants is not available yet; the attendee list on the event page and the Events Portal are where you see them.
