  • The benefits of using event management software It can make your life easier The main benefit of using such solutions is that they can help you maximize registrations, while minimizing the resources that may otherwise have been needed. Once you’ve set up an event on your chosen software, then you should just be able to press go and let it get on with things – leaving you to concentrate on promoting the event. If you’re running multiple events, or a regularly occurring event, then this can be particularly useful. Saves time needed for manual processing Good solutions will help you automate most processes. They will offer features like registration tracking, payment processing and also tools that can aid audience engagement. You’ll be able to grab a quick snapshot of what’s happening, who’s registered, who’s paid, who went on to attend and more. Plus, you’ll have an easy way to track how much money an event is bringing into the business. It will save time for your communication sequences too. With just a few clicks you should be able to send out tailored emails, including “thank you for attending” messages to those that made it and “sorry we missed you” to those who didn’t. Aids professionalism and the overall experience A further benefit is that it can make the management of the process feel that much more professional. The whole experience should run more smoothly. Nothing should be missed, which you can easily risk with a manual system. The payment of any monies can also be managed more easily and you’ll have the ability to manage multiple events easily. Can help increase engagement Engagement is at the heart of all marketing. It needs to start long before an event takes place and be supported and encouraged during and after. Good event management software will provide tools to aid participant communication at all stages. It will also give you the ability to see and analyze the global picture of your overall engagement levels. Supports targeted activity Marketing is at its strongest and most effective when it is highly targeted and tailored to an individual. (The key principal of account based marketing). You can use specialist solutions to tailor your event and all associated marketing activity. For example, by creating unique guest lists and email lists, and sending out targeted emails to those different attendees using certain parameters. A holistic approach Overall, event management software can act as a hub, holding together all elements of the event’s process. It can help keep everything connected, from the agenda, to speakers, any sponsors and the attendees.

    A technological startup company called RaceMenu recently launched a mobile application to ease the process of onsite registration for running events. The new application allows event managers to focus more on the runners and not so much on finding people to process the paperwork when registering guests onsite. This app benefits both race event managers as well as guests and entrants. It allows for ease of registration and collection of information to run smoothly and easily. Being a runner, I believe this is an incredible app and will really improve how races are run and organized in the future.

    This seems to be the ideal registration of the future. It bypasses the five page list, saving you printing costs and allows you to search by scanning the QR code, which is in essence anonymously. As a volunteer I would much rather use a mobile device that I am familiar with than risk a paper cut or even worse the impatient people waiting in line. I would be willing to use my own personal device, that is if I had unlimited data. I wonder how many other people would as well...

    Technology is changing the overall event management experience making events more productive and fun. This article touches on things like advances in event organizing software, real-time feedback for speakers and data collection of attendees that can lead to personalizing activities throughout the event. I think most professional public speakers would say they already get real-time feedback from their audiences; no technology required. But for more novice speakers, that type of feedback would not only improve their session, but also help them hone their speaking and delivery skills more quickly allowing them to become better speakers faster. Personalizing an event to each attendee sounds pretty cool. Read the section about using the data collected during the registration process. It's interesting to think the data could be cross-referenced to bring delegates together for networking opportunities. Making important business contacts is a key reason people attend events.

    There are a lot of different kinds of event planning technology software nowadays. This article introduced the way to use online event planning software in details. Online event planning software vary in scope and features, but their primary goal is the same, that is, to consolidate all the tasks needed to plan a trade show, conference, or other event, so the process runs more smoothly. According to this article, five tips for audiences to learn in using online event planning software. They are on the parts of creating an event page, sending out Invitations, enabling online registration, getting involved, and evaluating. Firstly, most online event planning software programs allow consumers to create a page. That doesn't mean the consumer has to use their service exclusively to advertise the event. Secondly, planners usually send electronic invitations to people they want to attend. This way can save time, paper, and postage, so they would focus on planning the best possible event. Thirdly, to set up online registration and to collect data in one convenient place so that all the information the planner needed from each registrant are collected and kept. Fourthly, to get involved with other people on the site by spreading the word about other events, chatting with attendees, and sharing useful information. The last but not the least, to evaluate after using online event planning software, determine whether the experience was positive or negative.
