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.
Traditional event management tools are only tapping a fraction of the potential of advocacy-driven features. Advocacy tools, often used to garner public support toward civic causes or social movements, are powerful avenues for event professionals to intensify and catapult reach. Business advocacy, particularly in B2B events, can also benefit from advocacy tools for associations. These include tools such as a stakeholder mobilization software or even a plug-in that can further an event’s engagement metrics. Advocacy tools are necessary and in action, they’ve proven worthy additions to conventional event management softwares and tools.
A public health researcher walks into a meeting with local policymakers. Months of research are summed up in a few slides. The evidence and data are strong. But after the meeting, the research is forgotten and never becomes part of a policy or a real-world program.
Now picture the same research being presented in a better way. It’s backed by policy evidence, reaches the right people, is easy to understand, and is tracked after publication. Before long, it starts showing up in public discussions.
The abstract review is a cornerstone of academic conferences. It ensures the quality, relevance, and integrity of the content. An abstract review scoring matrix gives the academic conference organizers an easy way to evaluate submissions by setting the required standards. Instead of each reviewer depending solely on personal judgment. They get a clear set of instructions, which include criteria, a scoring scale, and a clear shared process. This keeps the review stage well-organized and much easier to manage, especially when there are a huge number of submissions.
Have you ever received an email inviting you to speak at an international conference that sounded too good to be true?Â
It happens to the best of us.
These days, fake conference invitations are everywhere. Every day, thousands of researchers receive emails promising fast publication and prestigious international conferences, but many exist for one reason only: to collect your registration fee.Â
