Want to boost registrations and create urgency? Social proof displays real-time activity on your page by showcasing recent registrations. When visitors see others—especially those nearby—signing up, it builds credibility, creates excitement, drives demand, and encourages registrants to join. It’s a subtle but powerful way to increase conversions and reinforce the popularity of your event. In this guide, you'll learn how to set up and customize the social proof feature to best fit your event and audience.

These icons highlight real-time activity based on the registration history of your event. Below are examples of the types of social proof icons that may appear to help boost urgency and trust.
Fire Icon: registrations in the last 24 hours (because it's hot!)
People Icon: registrations in the last 7 days

FAQs
Why isn’t location information appearing in Social Proof?
Why isn’t location information appearing in Social Proof?
To display location-based Social Proof, your page must collect address information on either the registration section or billing section. If you are not seeing location information, we recommend making sure that your page is collecting the registrant's address in at least one place on the page, and adding an Address field if there is not one already.
