Cohort View - Attendee Analysis

Cohort View groups attendees by registration time (cohort) and tracks their behavior across subsequent events, measuring retention and engagement.

Key points

  • Darker color = higher retention (more people returning).

  • First cohort (top row) is earliest registration group.

  • Column 0 is always 100% (all people in cohort).

  • Columns 1, 2, 3... show % returning after 1, 2, 3 time periods.

Steps

  • 1. Go to Events → Registrations and switch to Cohort View.

  • 2. Select Measure: Registration Date (first registration date).

  • 3. Select Interval: Day, Week, Month, Year.

  • 4. Select Mode: Retention (return rate) or Churn (departure rate).

  • 5. Analyze cohort table: rows are cohorts, columns are time periods.


Cohort Analysis for Event Strategy

Cohort analysis helps understand long-term attendee behavior and optimize event organization strategy.

Key points

  • Measure retention: What % of first-time attendees return?

  • Compare cohorts: Which cohort has best retention? Why?

  • Identify drop-off points: When do attendees leave?
