Register and Create Your Free Attendee Account
How to create your CEU Events attendee account by registering for an event — and what to do once your account is set up.
🧑🎓 This article is for attendees.
A CEU Events attendee account is your gateway to the full continuing education experience — from tracking credits across over 100 organizations to keeping a complete, audit-ready record of your professional development. Your account is created when you register for your first event, so you'll create it as part of that registration. This article explains the benefits of having an account, how the registration-and-creation flow works, and what to do once your account is set up.
Why create a CEU Events attendee account?
A free attendee account is the foundation of your continuing education journey on CEU Events. Here's what you get:
- Track your membership and license credits in one place. Every event you attend is linked to your account, building a complete record of your earned credits over time.
- Find courses and events that meet your specific credit requirements. CEU Events recognizes credits from over 100 organizations, so you can quickly find events that count toward your specific licenses or memberships. See Browse Courses and Upcoming Events on CEU Events.
- Effortless audit trail. Because every step — registration, attendance, certificate, credit reporting — is linked to your account, you have a permanent, verifiable record of your CE participation.
- Instant access to your certificates. Download your Certificate of Completion immediately after attending an event. See Retrieve Your Certificate of Completion.
- Bulk certificate export. Filter and export your certificates by date range — either as individual files or one combined file. Useful when submitting for membership or license renewal.
📝 Note: CEU Events is designed with privacy in mind — we never send unsolicited promotional emails. Unlike many platforms in the industry whose business model relies on promotional outreach, the only emails you'll receive from us are tied to events you've registered for.
Three ways to register for an event and create your account
Your account is created automatically as part of registering for your first event. Here are the three paths to do it:
1. Before the event (from an invitation or upcoming events page)
If you've received an event invitation or want to find one on the upcoming events page:
- Visit the event's registration page (from your invitation link or www.ceuevents.com/upcoming-ceu-events).
- Click Register.
- Under the Sign In fields, click Create an Account.
- Complete the short form with your name, email, and password.
- Click Continue to finish creating your account and registering for the event.
2. During or after the event (with an Event Code)
If you're attending an event and need to register or confirm your attendance using an Event Code:
- Go to www.ceuevents.com/attendance.
- Enter the Event Code provided by the presenter.
- Click Continue.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account (if you don't have one yet) and confirm your attendance.
See Record Your Attendance with the Event Code for the full workflow.
3. At the event (scanning the attendance slide)
At many in-person and webinar events, the presenter will display an attendance slide with a QR code at the end of the session:
- Scan the QR code with your phone's camera go to www.ceuevents.com/attendance.
- Enter the Event Code shown on the slide.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account and confirm your attendance.
After creating your account
Once your account is set up, a few things to do in roughly the order they'll matter most:
- Add your memberships and license numbers. This sets the foundation for accurate credit reporting. See Add or Update Your Memberships and License Numbers.
- Update your profile information. Make sure your contact details and other account info are accurate. See Update Your Profile Information.
- Find another event to attend. Browse upcoming events filtered by date, profession, and event type. See Browse Courses and Upcoming Events on CEU Events.
Best practices
- Use a professional email address. Many credit-reporting organizations match records by email. A consistent, professional email helps ensure accurate credit reporting over time.
- Add your memberships and license numbers right away. The sooner you add this info to your account, the sooner credits start flowing to the right organizations.
- Don't create duplicate accounts. If you've registered for an event with CEU Events in the past, you already have an account. Use the password reset workflow if you don't remember your credentials — duplicate accounts fragment your credit history across multiple records. See Reset Your CEU Events Account Password.
- Keep your account active. Sign in periodically to confirm your account is in good standing and your contact info is current.
Troubleshooting
- You don't remember if you already have an account. Try the password reset workflow first — if an account exists for your email, you'll receive a reset email. If you get an "Email not in system" message, no account exists, and you'll create one when you register for an event. See Reset Your CEU Events Account Password.
- You're not receiving the verification email. Check your spam folder. Some corporate or institutional email systems can delay or block automated emails — if you don't receive it within a few minutes, contact CEU Events support.
- You don't have the Event Code for an event you attended. Contact the presenter directly. Only they can confirm your attendance and provide the Event Code.
