Getting attendees into a conference session should be simple. With Dryfta’s latest update, it now takes just a few seconds.
Event organizers can generate a unique QR code for each session and display it at the session venue. When attendees arrive, they scan the QR code with their phone, enter their email address, and check in.
Long before delegates arrive, an event can become difficult to control in ways that are easy to miss.
A speaker has not completed registration. An abstract still needs the right reviewer. A payment does not match its invoice, and moving one session creates three new clashes. None of these jobs is unusual, but together they can consume a team’s attention.
The risks of AI in event management become clear when a tool is asked to take responsibility for all these connected jobs. A single incorrect assumption can move from an abstract or registration record into a payment decision, reviewer assignment or published schedule.
You probably didn’t start a recurring event thinking, “I can’t wait to build the same registration page again and again.” Yet that’s exactly what many organizers end up doing. Copy the event. Change the date. Create another attendee list. Repeat.
Then your inbox gets a whole lot busier. “Can I switch sessions?” “Is my pass still valid?” and before long, your team is spending more time on admin than the event itself. That’s when recurring event ticketing software starts earning its place.
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.
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
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.
