What it does
Running live events and online courses side by side often means keeping two separate lists of people and manually granting course access after each registration. This integration joins the event registration system of Event Espresso with the course delivery of LearnDash, so attendees who sign up for an event can be enrolled in the related course without extra admin work. It suits workshops, webinars and multi-day conferences that come with learning material.
Once the two systems are connected, you can manage event attendees and course learners together and keep registrations, attendance and course progress in sync. Registration forms can be tailored to collect information that relates to your courses, and attendees can receive email notifications and reminders about upcoming events and course milestones. Reporting covers attendance patterns and learner engagement, which helps when planning future sessions. Everything runs inside your existing WordPress site.
