There are thousands of tiny details that go into planning a successful event, ranging from top-of-the-line luxuries to lower-priced necessities.

Rather than dreaming big and then finding out that you’ve overspent, it’s better to establish a down-to-earth budget from the get-go and work to figure out the best event you can put on given these constraints.

Read on to find out how to implement these easy budgeting tactics into your event management and event marketing.

Some event planners and caterers recommend to estimate 20% of guests as no-shows to events like weddings. However, the general rule of thumb of expecting 80% of guests for all types of events can be hit or miss.

When expecting additional people to show up on event day, it’s better to be prepared. Event organizers have many options to make an event accessible to day-of registrants without having to scramble for extra materials or rush through collecting registration data. With the help of the latest event management software and technology - especially self check-in kiosks - no detail goes unaccounted for and no attendee gets turned away.

Deciding whether or not to allow walk-in registration? Here are 4 reasons to lead more efficient day-of event planning with kiosks and self-registration.

It might be award season (and the perfect time to reread this), but no matter what time of year, a major part of the event planning process is the event marketing. This is a task that is not solely completed by event professionals, rather a combination of many departments, especially marketers, who need to play an active role in spreading the word about their event(s).

Now more than ever, marketers are combining their strategies and implement event management apps and technologies into the mix to produce one of the biggest results of their marketing efforts: how many people show up to an event. Counting attendees and flipping through pages and papers to find the right names, record the right notes, save the right amount of time for each and every guest is just not as effective as a clean check-in app for iPad or tablet.

But there are tons of other benefits for marketers besides a smooth check-in and reinforced marketing endeavors. Read on as to how eventtech is shaping the event industry for marketers in these 5 (and counting) benefits.

I’ve worked with many meeting planners. And many different personality types. There have been some
planners who I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with and others… well let’s just say I was very happy
when the program ended.

I’ve found that there are certain types of meeting planners who can handle the job stress and then there are those who seem to snap under the slightest pressure. But I have to say that, overall, I have tremendous amount of respect for job that a meeting planner does.

We’re so excited to be heading back (back) to (to) Cali for #VidCon 2015, we wrote a whole post dedicated the differences between last year and this year’s event at the Anaheim Convention Center.

In addition, news has broken this wee that Katie Couric has been added to this year’s line up.
