I'm new to CiviCRM and trying to understand a few larger concepts.  It seems that when you register a person for an event, you can't indicate that they are attending as part of an organization - in fact, I see no place to indicate an org during registration.  Is this the case? 

Thanks in advance.

I don't know how to add a profile to an event registration form, but assuming I can, are you saying that the registrant would type their org name in?  What I want is when a person registers (after logging in), the orgs they are associated with are presented on the registration form and they choose which org they're representing at the event.  If they are merely able to type it in, I may get bad data if they type a different spelling of an organization.  I need to print nametags for all participants and their current organization has to be on the nametag.
