Building a new site using the “X Ultimate” theme.
We want to have an event in May 2015 – about 120 people.
People want to be on a list of potentials for a number of months prior to actually opening registrations.
We’d like to socially engage with potential participants prior to and after the event – pictures, worksheets, short video and of course the back and forth conversations that would make this a rich experience.
We want a two step payment – deposit and final payment.
Will the business license ($199.95) handle this?

Quite aside from this May 2015 event, I also want to use this for ongoing course, program and presentation registrations.

Hi there Gary,

Event Espresso 3 (ee3 business license) will be able to handle those registrations for you including accepting a deposit and another payment.

For the potentials list, you could use something like MailChimp to add a sign up widget to your site. Then over the course of those few months, you can keep them updated and finally sent out a “registrations are now open” email.

Am I correct in assuming then that there is no social networking function that is part of the platform? This is oriented toward registration.

Hi Gary,

That is correct. We don’t have the social networking functionality that you described. You’d need another plugin like BuddyPress or BBPress for something like that.
