Pop-up events are now one of the most cost-effective ways to create brand buzz. According to a Google survey cited by Zendesk, brands that ran pop-up activations reported a 46% increase in sales, a 51% rise in market visibility and 66% greater brand awareness compared to periods without a pop-up presence.
The budget may look healthy in a spreadsheet, but late deposits and unpaid balances can quickly put an event under pressure. Organizers need to know more than the total amount due. They need to see who owes it, when it should arrive and exactly what it covers.
An event invoice provides that clarity by listing the services delivered, their costs, payment terms and due dates. Invoicing software for events makes the process easier by helping organizers create invoices, track outstanding amounts and collect payments at different stages. These may include registration fees, initial deposits, planning instalments and the final balance due before the event begins. Continue reading
“We regret to inform you that we need to withdraw our accepted abstract.” This sentence catches many organizers off guard, even though accepted abstract withdrawal happens on a fairly regular basis across scientific conferences of every size. And abstract withdrawal after acceptance is not always intentional, no. Most times it’s due to something unforeseen. The presenter may have fallen ill or could be unable to make it to the conference, or perhaps their work has been accepted elsewhere.
Nothing makes an organizer’s heart sink quite like seeing another refund request pop up in the inbox. Especially when it starts with, “Hi, I know your policy says…” You already know exactly where that conversation is going.
Badges. Everyone likes badges, these tiny wearables that instantly make the day brighter for everyone involved. It’s whimsy, but for events. And no matter how formal a gathering you may be hosting, slipping on a little badge makes everyone belong a little more within the venue. It’s fairly simple:Â the human need to feel a sense of community.Â
Switching event platforms has a terrible reputation.Â
You tell yourself, “We’ll switch after this event.” Then registrations open for the next one. Suddenly it’s too late. Rinse and repeat. A year goes by, and you’re still using the same platform you wanted to replace.
And it’s easy to see why.
Here’s something to chew on: a well-used CRM can drive 29% more sales, 34% more productivity, and 42% sharper forecasting. Cool, right? Except most event teams never see those numbers because their ticketing tool and CRM don’t integrate well. Every purchase, every abandoned cart, every “maybe next time” attendee just disappears into thin air.Â
When the call is for an abstract but you submit an entire paper. You may not be the brighter crayon in the box but this is a rather honest mistake to make. Abstract vs full paper: what is the distinction really? Is an abstract more of a trailer into your paper or is it the first page of your final paper?Â
According to studies, over 44,554 event managers are currently employed in the United States, with 63.8% of the workforce identifying as women and 36.2% as men, highlighting the scale and diversity of the profession. Event management continues to grow as a dynamic field that blends strategy, creativity, and execution to deliver impactful experiences.
Reviewing hundreds of abstracts is already a lot to handle. Now add conflict of interest disclosures, late-breaking submissions, embargo policies, reviewer assignments, accreditation rules, and publication deadlines to the mix.
What non-profit organizations do day in and day out is work, rally toward a cause. A movement. A people. Much of the work of non-profits is targeted at advocacy, whether that be rights advocacy, environmental advocacy or even legislative advocacy. Most non-profits organizations, at least the ones that are creating real change, run on consistent funding and volunteer support. Without the two, a non-profit and its vision is bound to fail. In fact, many do every year. Only a fraction of all non-profits actually make it in the long run. So what could possibly multiply a non-profit’s chances of making it in the world today? Among the things that help are advocacy tools for non-profits.
If you’ve searched for event management software for associations, you’ve probably run into the same issue. Most blogs simply list a few platforms without explaining which one is actually the right fit for your organization.
Associations have very different needs than most organizations. Along with planning events, they also manage memberships, sponsors, exhibitors, and year-round member engagement. That’s why this guide goes beyond a simple list of platforms and helps you understand which one is the right fit.
