Organize awesome events.Our all-in-one event management software keeps organizers sane & attendees happy.

You’ve spent countless hours planning your season of events and naturally want them to be well attended, engaging, fun, and successful. By utilizing the best practices and MSR insights below you’ll increase the likelihood of encouraging more participants to attend your events, and ensure they have the information they need to have a great time and come back for more. 

Greetings Event Organizers! The next time you log into your Hagerty MSR account, you’ll be prompted to accept new user terms. We know that new terms can lead to concern or confusion, so we want to give you a simple breakdown on what’s really being updated.  

Beginning January 1, 2022, the IRS threshold for reporting amounts on Form 1099-K is dropping from $20,000 and 200 transaction to $600. This means that any Hagerty MSR organizer who has processed $600 or more in registration fees during the 2022 year will be issued a 1099-K.

Checking our phones for notifications, texts, and alerts has become almost an unconscious act for many. It’s not exactly controversial to say that smartphones are heavily relied upon in some form for nearly all facets of our day-to-day activities. 

When was the last time you audited the administrative users within your MSR account? The answer to this for many clubs in MSR is “never”, which exposes your organization to some level of risk which you may not be comfortable with. 

We’re excited to share that we’ve recently added a new role to the Hagerty MotorsportReg team, which we hope you’ll view as an extension of your team.

Verifying SpeedWaivers during check-in is about to get easier...

As referenced in our May blog post, work has been underway to integrate SpeedWaiver into the MotorsportReg check-in experience. We're excited to share a brief video demo of this new capability, which will be launching soon. Please check it out and let us know what you think. 

MotorsportReg Premium Integration 

Within the Text and Copy section of your Event Settings, you’ll find a new option to “Enable SpeedWaiver” for your event within the registration flow. By enabling this option, your attendees will automatically be sent the link to your event waiver once they complete their registration, and the waiver will be linked to the attendee’s registration in MSR.  

We’ve also added the ability to collect email addresses within the SpeedWaiver flow. This is a great way to add guests or event day walkup attendees to your email lists. Should you want to activate this option to grow your email list, let our team know and we’ll enable it on your account.  

In late 2020 we launched a website redesign to better align with modern design and mobile user experience principles. We've received a tremendous amount of helpful feedback from organizers and attendees, which we continue to collect and use to make iterative improvements. Within the website launch announcement, we teased that the updates to the site and calendar were simply the first phase in our plans to upgrade the look, feel, and usability of the MSR platform.  

Phase two has been underway for several months and will begin rolling out soon. We have given the attendee registration experience a face lift with one singular objective in mind - making the experience of registering for your events easier and more intuitive for attendees. We've had several organizers beta testing these updates over the last month, and their feedback has been instrumental in the redesign. 

More than just refreshing the look and feel, the new experience will reduce the number of steps involved in registration and eliminate barriers that have been common points of confusion or frustration for attendees during the event registration process. 

New registration form
The first release in this overhaul is a redesign of the registration form styling with a simplified, more intuitive, and mobile friendly layout. This update will be automatically applied and requires no additional work on your behalf - simply create your registration forms in the Form Builder, and they'll automatically be displayed with the new layout.

This new design is much more mobile friendly. With larger package and touch-anywhere-to-select design, tapping your way through a registration from a smart phone or tablet has never been easier.

Here's a sneak peek of a new form layout:
