registration desks

Sign-up service points

Registration desks are staffed counters where people check in or sign up for something—at hotels, conferences, hospitals, or events.

The term emphasizes the physical location rather than the process: Head to the registration desks in the main lobby.

At large venues, multiple desks may be arranged alphabetically or by category to manage crowds.
