5 Life Hacks to Help You Fall in Love with Event Tech, Part 1

Whether you’re tasked with planning the next annual meeting for your non-profit, or pulling together vendors and speakers for a major corporate event, if you’re not using event management software you’re likely leaving money on the table. Although the world is moving to embrace technology in every sector, you may still feel attached to your spreadsheets, overflowing three-ring binders, and endless sticky notes. A recent survey showed that 20% of event planners don’t have any idea what the direct ROI is from their events as a direct result of not incorporating technology; the ability to explicitly track return on investment is absolutely essential if you want to remain competitive.

Your creativity, innovation, and long-range thinking is priceless; now let’s take a look at ways to make your event planning tasks infinitely easier. We’ve put together 10 life hacks to help you fall in love with event tech and we’re confident that soon you’ll dump the dog-eared binders and step boldly into the tech age (even if you’re absolutely not a geek).

  1. Your time is valuable. How much time are you currently spending trying to integrate information from hundreds of spreadsheets and torn tabs in those heavy three-ring binders? Define where you’re spending the most time, then get ready for an almost magical way you can free up your time to do what you do best simply by embracing event planning technology. 
  2. There’s an app for that! If you’re tired of endless emails and phone messages, juggling a day planner, wall calendar, and sticky notes strategically stuck to the sides of your computer monitor so you ‘don’t forget’, and fighting an anxiety attack trying to keep track of last-minute schedule changes, then repeat after me: There’s an app for that! Today’s mobile event apps are designed to take care of things like scheduling, communication, multiple vendors and even integrating with your CRM campaigns. Check out Evernote to help you organize vender research and keep everyone on the same page. Doodle is a simple scheduling app that’s easier to use than sticky notes. And the brand new Eventbrite Sync app seamlessly integrates your event planning with your automated followup campaigns.
  3. Let go of your apprehension about technology. There’s no clearer way to address this one. Whether you’re still using paper planning because its what’s familiar, or you’re just plain overwhelmed at the prospect of learning a new digital ‘language’, it’s time to step up if you want to remain competitive. We’re betting that even your great-Aunt Alice learned how to post pictures on Facebook, so we’re confident you can learn how to go digital with event management software.
  4. No geeks needed. Embracing event management software is not the same thing as learning computer programming, being able to rattle off techy acronyms or never again jotting down a note on paper. The whole idea is to make your job easier, simpler, and more cost-effective. Event tech is designed for event planners with guided feedback by event planners – expect your job to get easier, not harder.
  5. Dump the paper check-in and use an event registration app. If you’re still printing off long lists of names and expecting event check-in to happen efficiently, you seriously need an upgrade. Everyone’s got a smart phone these days and they’ll thank you for making the registration process much more painless. Save a tree (or several) by going paperless, reduce the human resource time-sink of managing all those cumbersome lists of names, increase your attendees’ delight with no more long registration lines.

While it can feel a bit daunting to step away from that tried-and-true binder stuffed with coffee-stained notes and endless lists, it might be time to fall in love with event tech so you can focus on what you do best – create a unique event experience that lets your company stand out from the competition. Contact us today and let’s explore how you can get started!

5 Things Ultra-Productive Event Professionals Do Well

5 Things Ultra-Productive Event Professionals Do Well

By nature, event professionals are driven to be highly productive in order to meet the demands of our stakeholders and keep all attendees happy. When we get really busy, however, it can be hard to stay on track and accomplish reactionary tasks as well as staying ahead on bigger, more forward-thinking projects.  


Here are five ways that highly productive event professionals get more done:

  1. Trade to-do lists for a calendar

Studies show that less than half of people’s to-do items never get completed. Why? Because the nature of written lists give us the opportunity to push things we don’t want to do to the bottom (and never complete them!).  As event pros, we live by deadlines. Using an online calendar as a way of staying on track ensures we meet those deadlines instead of procrastinating.

  1.  Avoid overtime all the time

That’s right, we said no overtime all the time. Being overly busy can equate to lack of focus and wasted energy.  We all have a breaking point where our highest level of performance gets compromised by overextending ourselves for long periods of time. Good event professionals prioritize tasks, create backup plans and delegate wherever possible to avoid burning out.

  1.  Bundle up those temptations

A concept introduced by Katherine Milkman of the Wharton School at Penn and featured on Freakonomics is temptation bundling. Tie two polarizing activities together–one you need to do but don’t want to, and one you love to do (such as going to your favourite restaurant, but only when your inbox is clear).  Temptation bundling in this way pushes us to get more work done so we can get to the things we really want to do. Event managers can apply this to their design and planning phases by working sequentially and then rewarding themselves along the way (Venue secured? Time for a fancy coffee!).

  1.  Practice Self Care

This means learning to say NO to commitments that don’t add much value or even de-rail you from your most important tasks.  Take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally.  We strive to create experiences that serve our attendees’ needs but we also need to remember to serve our own. This can mean anything from eating well to drinking enough water, staying active, making time for loved ones or simply getting enough sleep.

  1. Let Technology do the Heavy Lifting

Use the right applications and event management technology to increase your efficiency and help minimize manual or repetitive tasks.  Keep notes, discussions, and files in the cloud so every person on your team is on the same page.  Good event professionals don’t keep the details in their heads or in a notebook where they can get lost or forgotten.

Event professionals have unique demands that put extra pressure on us to be efficient. Let’s make sure we lean on tools, strategies and technology that can help us work smarter, not harder. There’s nothing more human than that!

Why Stand-alone Event Tech Is Not For You Blog Banner

Event planning can be daunting, whether you’re organizing a membership drive or corporate meeting. With the increasing use of technology to simplify event management, you may reach a point of frustration trying to juggle numerous products trying find some way to put it all together. You’ll know why stand-alone event tech is not for you when you start wishing you could go back to your overstuffed binders and endless sticky notes.

The problem feels complicated.

  • Using multiple tools to help you manage various parts of your event planning can leave you feeling like a juggler. One app for scheduling, another to help you manage vendors, yet a third to help with registration; and you are the one common theme between them all.
  • Stand-alone products are great as far as they go, but isn’t necessarily the best long-term strategy. Without communication between different tools, your event management portfolio could just as easily be those old binders.
  • It is difficult to produce meaningful data analysis for things like your company’s CRM followup or overall ROI when you’re gathering information by hand or from unconnected applications that each have a different focus.
  • Using multiple products for event planning is simply not scalable. Add another meeting to your schedule, or add a new session to a current conference, and your carefully balanced tools will being making your life more complicated, not easier. 

The solution is simplicity itself.

The market is moving to either an integrated solution or a solution that can be integrated. In order to be a viable solution, a fully integrated event planning portfolio must provide more than the stand-alone products it replaces. It must be scalable, user-friendly and ideally will incorporate seamless data analysis. Whether you create your own integrated system, or go with an all-in-one event management software solution, get ready to feel relief. No more juggling act, you can now focus on planning your next event knowing that the details will all be manageable from one interconnected place. Contact us today to explore how we can help make this a reality for you.

CASE STUDY: PIVOTAL

  • Event Management News

Cloud Foundry Summit 2014

INTRODUCTION:

Pivotal is a leading provider of application and data infrastructure software, agile development services and data science consulting. Committed to open source and open standards, Pivotal is enabling the creation of modern software applications that leverage big and fast data – on a single, cloud independent platform.

The Cloud Foundry Summit is the premier event for developers and cloud operators using Cloud Foundry – the industry’s leading Open Source Platform-as-a-Service. With community-led case study sessions and a dedicated un-conference to organize attendee-voted session topics, Pivotal designed the event to encourage interaction and discussion. In 2014, the conference (hosted by Pivotal, IBM, VMware and HP) featured dozens of speakers comprised of industry leaders, Cloud Foundry users, and community members.


CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES:

When Pivotal set out to plan their Summit, they knew they would need a flexible event management platform. Although Pivotal is an industry-leading software developer, they acknowledged that they didn’t have the time or resources to build custom event software. The company had very specific requirements including a custom domain, a customizable event website, schedule building, surveys, and an integrated event registration experience. Until they discovered Attendease, they were unable to find an event management platform to satisfy their requirements.

THE SOLUTION

Pivotal identified Attendease as the only event management software capable of fitting the specific requirements for their conference. Chloe Jackson, a Web Producer at Pivotal, explains, “We researched a number of different solutions, but no one was able to offer the features we needed. Attendease was the only solution that fit our needs. We wanted a custom domain,” she continues, “and we wanted the look and feel to match the main site, so the user experience would be as seamless as possible.”

Pivotal’s own web team customized the default Attendease event management theme, using a combination of CSS and Javascript, in order to pixel-perfectly match their event’s look and feel. We asked Chloe if her company was able to achieve a desirable level of customization. “Yes. Most users don’t even realize they’re on a different site.” She outlines key benefits of using Attendease:

  • Better experience for conference attendees. “We love being able to say ‘Yes, no problem’, instead of ‘Sorry, our platform doesn’t support that’. There are so many little features that we wouldn’t have thought to put in the requirements, but ultimately helped make our customers happy.”
  • Better experience for event management staff. “Being able to give other teams direct access or to respond to internal requests almost instantly means we’re able to spend more time with customers and less time being the bottleneck.”
  • Software Support. “Attendease support is amazing. The team is friendly, eager to help and quick to respond. I wish every company had a support team like this. It’s really next-level. I also love their lightweight, available-everywhere support interface – it’s brilliant.”
  • Constant event platform improvement. “Attendease is an ever-evolving, constantly-improving product. Almost every time I log in, I notice changes – everything from features to performance.”
  • Stability. “This is not a flashy point, but it’s arguably the most important one: our Attendease sites have never gone down.”

ACHIEVING SUCCESS:

Close to 1000 conference attendees successfully registered for the Cloud Foundry Summit, almost doubling attendance from the previous year. The event’s success is evidence of the proliferation of Cloud Foundry as the industry’s standard for open source PaaS. When planning the high profile event, Chloe Jackson found that Attendease allowed her team to effectively manage the customer experience. “Some of the most well-known companies in the world come to our events. It’s important for us to present them with a clean, professional, reliable experience.” Pivotal also used Attendease’s event management software for their recent SpringOne2GX 2014 conference.


“Choosing Attendease significantly reduced the time and cost that would have been required to achieve our goals. Starting from scratch just didn’t make sense. We also appreciate their SaaS model, which ensures that we benefit from improvements as soon as they are ready – without having to think about it.”

The Immersive Customer Journey Powered By Events

  • Event Management News
The Immersive Customer Journey Powered By Events

Leading enterprises look for the opportunity to build an immersive customer journey. Integrated, scalable, knowledgable and contextual.  

Attendease has been closely working with Tech companies big and small for some number of years, from their most intimate leadership events to their most imprortant annual client user conferences.  From this experience, it is obvious that the most successful event managers are “hungry” to be leaders by focusing on what really matters for their attendees: a best-in-class integrated, end-to-end experience.  

I’ve worked for many startups and without question one big observation is this – it’s hard to win. To get the order of things right – which includes creating a fully integrated, scalable sales and marketing technology stack to propell the customer journey and drive conversion; with only a team of 10 to 20. 

But what makes a leader in Tech? Precision focus on this very goal.

I do see large entreprises focused on this, granted it is much more of a challenge than for an agile start up. There are so many more moving parts, processes and considerations. 

As an #eventtech leader, what is really important as we build out our roadmap, is to look for companies that don’t get hung up on tactical #details of a feature in their registration system, or whether their mobile app can have a speakers page. 

Think strategically about your events. 

Today’s leading marketing-driven companies can now see:

A) Events are critical to achieving business objectives

B) Events have the opportunity to be more strategic and aligned with the overall mission and vision – including how they work with your digital marketing strategy

C) Strategically partnering with the correct #eventtech to enable the sales and marketing stack will elevate your lead generation and transform your customer journey at the same time.

Looking at the bigger picture versus focusing on tactical level features will make a world of difference to achieve your goal. Look for best in class enablement, and alignment of vision that matches where you want to go with your marketing team. We’ve been working with Adobe for many years and without question they are a company that strives every day to be a better marketing organization. We’re honoured to be a part of that. 

Five New Event Planning Trends Of 2016

  • Event Management News
Five New Event Planning Trends Of 2016 Blog Banner

In order to remain competitive as an event planner for your company, you need to stay in tune with the latest trends. From technology to engagement strategies to the tools you have at your disposal, the industry is changing fast and you want to stay on top of it. Bottom line, paying attention to upcoming trends is crucial in order to continually offer a quality experience for attendees and clients alike.

Here are the top five new event planning trends Of 2016.

All About Engagement

Experienced planners agree that the name of the game in 2016 is engagement. Attendees are no longer satisfied to simply be passively entertained. They want to have meaningful conversation, connect with other professionals, and engage with conference presenters. Technology offers many powerful ways to create a truly interactive experience. While most planners spend less than 10% of their budget on software, those intent on staying on the cusp of this fast changing arena may do well to re-evaluate. Engagement is the foundation on which rests all effective measurement of ROI. 

Hard & Soft ROI Metrics 

In a recent study of more than 500 meeting organizers it was found that 84% now use reported attendee satisfaction as the primary measure of success.  With the new focus on attendee engagement expectations, paying attention to reported satisfaction is vital, but measuring this effectively is the true key. Utilization of event management software is the ideal way to determine if you’re meeting your goal of attendee satisfaction metric. Effective management of ROI tracking can best be accomplished when pre-event registrants are appropriately tagged and then tracked all the way through to post-event followup including the effectiveness of subsequent automated marketing campaigns and ultimate conversions.  

Social Media Uprise 

While most event planners continue to be loyal to email as a primary method for driving communication pre- and post-event, the evidence suggests that social media is the wave of the future. Trends for 2016 point to an increased use of social media integrated into both the event itself as well as an ongoing relationship marketing plan. There is a growing appreciation that social media needs to be intentionally used to interact, not simply to announce, and optimal event planning will exploit all avenues of interaction. Your social media contacts can’t be expected to leap straight from initial interaction to conversion, making this the ideal platform you need to use to nurture ongoing relationships that can then be utilized to monitor your conversion funnel and provide additional essential data required to drive conversions and quantify ROI. 

Virtual & Hybrid Events 

While face-to-face events continue to be important, there is a growing interest in both adding virtual elements to conferences, as well as creating online-only experiences especially for businesses that have historically been exclusively place bound. Using the power of technology to widen the reach of a company’s base is available to both large and small businesses like never before. In addition, virtual systems make possible the gathering of professionals who otherwise may not ever meet. From adding video product launches, enhancing presentations both online and off, to followup video marketing campaigns, virtual systems are here to stay.   

Demand for Intelligence 

Data points are great as far as they go, but increasingly event professionals are demanding that data be delivered in a way they can immediately use to plan forward. With technology being used more at all stages of event management, using that technology to seamlessly collect and analyze information is crucial and will continue to become more common in the coming year. Accessing intelligence from data collection is made simple by utilizing an event portfolio management system with analysis capabilities that pulls usable information points from the initial attendee interaction through post-event follow-up and provides a concrete way to continually monitor and adjust customer relationship management strategies. This will grow narrowly targeted marketing campaigns as well as future events both on- and offline. 

In the fast evolving world of event management, the overall trends for 2016 are tech-driven but people-focused. By carefully integrating technology you will help create a memorable and fulfilling experience. Contact us today to explore how Attendease can work with you to keep your company in step with the future.

Fiv Must-Have Productivity Apps For Meeting Planners

Five Must-Have Productivity Apps For Meeting Planners

The last few years have seen big changes in the event management arena, with technology contributing as the catalyst for progress. Meeting planners have put aside bulky binders and notebooks, replacing most paper with electronic gadgets and tools. This breakneck evolution in the world of event management software has not simply been in response to consumers’ quest for the latest techy toys; it also speaks volumes about the push to use technology to make the complex task of event planning more manageable. To help narrow your choices from the vast array of both web and installed apps available, here are our top five productivity apps for meeting planners that will help you do your job more efficiently.

  1. WiFi Calculator. You can go far in creating an atmosphere of professionalism at your event by providing WiFi for your attendees, but it’s a little more complex than flipping a switch. You’ll want to use a WiFi calculator to estimate usage, and to determine the number and locations of hotspots needed. Most of your attendees will activate just one device at a time, but they need reliable service during all aspects of the event and your event planning needs to include this essential service. During peak times like when your conference uses mobile interaction with speakers or in small groups, provides video streaming, or makes file transfers available, will take additional bandwidth and you don’t want to be caught unprepared.   
  2. Event budgeting and reconciliation management. Why use spreadsheets to track your conference budget when an app can make your task so much simpler? Expensify is a great way to keep your budget up to date and right at your fingertips. With unlimited line items and big picture functionality, receipt generation and customizable reports, this app will make your planning process infinitely easier.
  3. Travel. Whether you’re coordinating travel plans for a few keynote speakers or tasked with synchronizing flight arrivals for a large group, the TripIt for teams app is essential. You’ll be able to easily manage multiple travelers, including flights and car rentals, confirmations, and team communication, all from one centralized dashboard. 
  4. Hospitality. If you’re providing food or beverage service at your next meeting, you don’t want to guess at the impact on your bottom line if you switch drinks or change appetizers. Designed to be the most comprehensive hospitality app available, Hospitality Calculators was created to make it simple to determine the profit margins of foods and beverages. This app is user-friendly and will give you food and beverage gross profits as well as reverse calculations, making it one of the ‘must haves’ in your event apps portfolio.
  5. Translation. Expand your reach around the world with a translation app such as WordLens that translates in real time from a mobile camera image, or Google Translate that provides translation from and to any text as well as real time voice translation. Whether you’re providing a local event with international attendees, or an online event available anywhere, your effectiveness will exponentially increase by removing barriers to communication both during a conference as well as for successful followup. 

While event planning is complex, making use of mobile event apps to help will enable you to come off looking like a star, with just a fraction of the stress. Mobile event applications that specifically address some of your challenging and time-consuming tasks are here to stay and only getting better as the industry demands greater efficiency, functionality and ease of use. Have a need for a specific app not mentioned here? Contact us today and we’ll do what we can to help you find the best technology for your next event.

How To Use 1 to 1 Appointments As a Powerful Event Engagement Strategy

  • Event Management News
How To Use 1 to 1 Appointments As a Powerful Event Engagement Strategy

In the world of event planning, you are tasked with making use of every possible strategy for engagement, and sometimes this is daunting. From initial contact through registration, the actual live event through targeted follow-up and data analysis, you are continually working to find ways to cement brand loyalty and create strong ROI.  Event engagement strategies that use 1 to 1 appointments to build a personalized experience for attendees is one of the most powerful methods in your arsenal. The actual implementation of this may look different depending on your event’s size and focus, but the principles remain the same. As you explore how to incorporate 1 to 1 appointments into your event planning strategy, here are some things to keep in mind.

Define exactly how 1 to 1 appointments can enhance your event attendees’ experience and increase your ROI. Personalized engagement needs to be more than interesting; it needs to be orchestrated to result in your desired outcome. Are you using 1 to 1 appointments to track the effectiveness of your advertising materials? To elicit enthusiasm and foster greater brand loyalty? As a way to evaluate the cost effectiveness of educational materials and presentations? To grow your customer base or refine your sales force? As a way your attendees can get their product questions answered which will result in greater conversions? By defining your strategy for 1 to 1 appointments, you increase your useful data collection and analysis, and enable direction changes when necessary.

Create anticipation during pre-event marketing efforts. Be strategic with social media chatter, email campaigns, and the event registration process in a way that highlights the opportunities for 1 to 1 appointments. Incorporate these appointments into your event scheduling software or mobile event app so attendees can make choices. By tracking interest in your 1 to 1 appointment availability, you’ll also be able to make certain you have adequate staffing, sufficient time slots, and are addressing the issues your attendees are most interested in.

Track and funnel. Successful event session management is so much larger than simply planning presentations and having an app to help attendees schedule 1 to 1 appointments. In order to be effective, each registrant needs to be strategically tagged from the beginning, tracked through each interaction during the event, then funneled into your automated followup campaign to help create conversions. By collecting data throughout the timeline, you’ll be able to measure your ROI with solid data points rather than guessing.

Consider adding virtual appointments. Depending on your event size and your target market, virtual 1 to 1 appointments may be a viable and powerful alternative. Incorporating virtual appointments into your event planning may enable you to have more experts available as well as greater appointment flexibility for attendees. Technology can certainly provide a virtual face-to-face opportunity even if participants are in different parts of the world, equally useful whether your entire event is conducted online or not.

Successful event management incorporates 1 to 1 appointments as a powerful and measurable engagement strategy. By carefully defining your goals and how you’ll measure ROI, building anticipation through multiple channels of pre-event engagement, tagging, tracking and analyzing data through lead generation and conversion, and perhaps incorporating virtual appointments, you’ll be well on your way to creating a successful event experience. Contact us today to explore how this strategy can work for your company.

Top 10 Strategies to Increase Attendee Engagement [Infographic]

Top 10 Strategies to Increase Attendee Engagement

No matter how hard you work to mastermind an exceptional event for your organization, you won’t have maximum results unless you also have fully engaged attendees. The tired model of a conference delivered to a captive and passive audience is long gone; with careful planning, you can have dynamic participation before, during, and after your event.  

Pre-Event Engagement

Integrate social media interaction into the pre-event stage.

In the days or even weeks leading up to your event, don’t miss the opportunity to set expectations by early interaction. By running mini-contests, rewarding potential-attendee buzz, planning recognition or prizes, creating a Twitter hashtag and posting social media ‘shout-outs’ to those participating in the conversation, you help create anticipation of a dynamic conference experience before it’s even begun.

Use technology to create an interactive registration experience.

This is one place that your planning will make you absolutely shine, or let another event slip into obscurity. Registration shouldn’t just be a formality allowing attendees to walk through the door; it must be a vital process of gathering well-thought-out information that will later be used for personalized followup.

Use technology to personalize each attendees’ experience. 

By giving each registrant choices of which parts of the event they wish to attend, they will receive a powerful message that their presence is noticed and valuable. 

During the Event

 

Set the stage for involvement.

The physical setting can either foster engagement, or discourage it. Create an environment that makes interaction inevitable. Round tables, or rows facing each other, gives a collaborative feel and lets no one fade into anonymity. 

Ask questions. 

Use mobile event apps and live polls taken during the event itself. Interactive feedback is essential to help create an atmosphere of positive energy and collaboration. What do your attendees want to know? Are the presentations making sense and meeting their needs? Are their expectations being met? 

Encourage personal connections between attendees. 

Each conference is an opportunity for dynamic connections between professionals, not just between presenters and attendees. Make it easy for individuals to get together. Here again, technology is vital. By allowing people to identify common ground and making it easy to interact with like-minded professionals, you’ll amplify the entire event experience. 

Focus more on personal interaction, and less on entertainment.

Networking sessions and small groups with measurable assignments facilitated by mobile event software go a long way to increasing the collaborative tone. 

Post-Event Engagement 

 

Set the stage for post-event followup. 

Letting attendees know when and how you will contact them after the conference for feedback gives them a sense that their voices will be heard and responded to.

Timing is everything. 

A truly engaged audience will leave an event with an emotional response. You can capitalize on that by following up quickly to further enlist each person’s continual commitment.

Use data to drive post-event engagement. 

Make data available almost immediately to those who attended the event. Post-event followup needs to be more than a simple survey or recap. Who attended? What did they appreciate most? Tie in your pre-event engagement strategies to help foster a fulfillment experience. 

How can technology help

With careful planning, you’ll create an exceptional event that fully engages your audience before, during, and after attendance. While event management software is an essential tool to help make this happen, ultimately your focus must be on the individual participants and how you can facilitate their dynamic experience. Our award-winning event management platform can help you manage your events throughout the entire event lifecycle. Contact us to explore how Attendease can help.
