# What is the difference between the Registration Form and the Join Form?

## Make the most of both to ensure your event is a success.

The **Registration Form** is the form that attendees fill out to sign up for the event. Therefore, the information provided by the attendee appears in the event's database (under the [**Attendee List**](https://help.meetmaps.com/en/what-is-the-attendees-list-section?hsLang=en) section in the side menu).

**+ info**👉 [How to set up a registration form?](https://help.meetmaps.com/en/how-to-set-up-a-registration-form?hsLang=en)

The **Join Form** is an optional form shown the **first time an attendee accesses the App or Website**. It helps complete the attendee’s profile after registration by collecting additional details such as a profile photo or social media links.

**+ info**👉 [What is the Join Form?](https://help.meetmaps.com/en/what-is-the-join-form?hsLang=en)

**NOTE** 🗒️:  If attendees have already filled out certain fields (e.g., name and surname) in the registration form, and those same fields are included in the Join Form, they will appear pre-filled for the attendee to review and edit if needed.
