Event Management

In the third part of our series, we will be investigating how using an event management platform can increase productivity and reduce costs. It is no secret that an event planner must have an ‘always on’ attitude, as they deal with an endless ‘to do’ list before the live date. To succeed, therefore, organisers must have a concrete understanding of their progress and budgets, whilst having insight into how to maximise the impact of their next move.

Over the next two months, The Power of Live will look at the current systems and processes being employed by event organisers. In turn, with the help of expert guests, we will share the ways in which organisations are leading in this area. This will include how to increase attendance, improve marketing response rates, track budget vs. actual costs, and streamline marketing.

In partnership with Cvent, we hope you will find our webinar, eBooks, expert reports and videos a useful resource in your event planning. Join our community of over 1,500 event professionals now, by registering here.
