[Hidden-tech] Online conference registration

[JOsh Beauregard]

David,
to do this you could just use standard online web store software, one 
that is suited for selling more then just goods (I would recommend zen 
cart).
That way you could set it up to take more then just one type of payment. 
(pay pal, Google check out, credit cards, Cash on delivery or check)
there would already be a very strong schema, for keeping track of 
registration, and details of attendees.
I am thinking that you could simply set up a few 'products' that would 
sell registration for the whole or any part of the event.
having had my hand in the creation of quite a few on line stores and 
also havening done event organization my self this seems a very easy way 
to go.
the other good thing about using soft ware like this you are also ready 
to sell recordings of the conference talks on you site afterwards for 
any one who wants them.
