The one thing that is permanent in event management is that plans change. You can map out every session, confirm every speaker, and double-check each detail and still something might shift at the last moment. A keynote speaker might miss a flight, a room suddenly becomes unavailable, or even a sponsor’s availability changes just hours before the event begins. These situations are common in event planning, and they come with no warning. Continue reading
Plenty of event planners today realize halfway through that the service they signed up for does not meet their needs. And their attendees’ expectations. In this view, the team is forced to reckon with the reality of the software they have been working with. Sometimes costing tens of thousands of dollars, discontinuing a service is never easy. And never the first choice, at all. However, circumstances outgrow our events and we look for alternatives. It is with this thought that we have set out to discuss some of the brilliant vFairs alternatives.Â

You made it. The team you had appointed to design your organization’s very own mobile event app has just handed it over to you. Officially. This is an incredible and worthy milestone for event planners who are just starting out and carving a mark for their organization.
Technavio has projected the valuation of the global event management industry to be well over $1.07 trillion. And almost all forecasts are in agreement that the event management space is only set to skyrocket all the more, in terms of fiscal valuation, manpower and employment. What this means for the individual event planner or company is that this field is a high-stakes affair.
Signing a contract with the wrong technology vendor can cost you more than money. It can cost you your event itself.
For the thousands of event organizers who go through this process every year, the experience strikes the cord of familiarity. A vendor promises everything and more during their pitch. The demo is outstanding and the pricing appears to be a great deal. Or so they make it seem.
In the high-stakes world of event planning, your choice of technology is the difference between a seamless masterpiece and a complete disaster. As events continue to transform into complex, data-based experiences, one-size-fits-all type of event management platforms will no longer work. Regardless of whether you organize a global hybrid summit or an intimate executive roundtable, the platform you use to manage the event will act as the central hub for all things related to your event.Â
A successful conference requires coordination and clarity. Every detail of the conference, from the registration and ticketing to attendee communication, scheduling updates and analytics play an important role in the outcome. When organizers use separate tools as opposed to using one centralized conference management solution, they create hidden risks that can affect the teams, the conference and the attendee experience. Continue reading
Do you find that event planning forces you to be working in both directions of a seesaw?
One side being attendee experience, as they have expectations for their personal touch to make them feel included, large screens with which they can connect, improved networking opportunities, wellness, purpose, and sustainability. The other side being finance, which wants proof that your events have provided value beyond a packed room. If so, you are not alone.Â
Have you ever watched a speaker walk on stage and realized they were clearly unprepared? It throws the whole room off. The audience senses it, your team feels the stress, and you end up juggling problems you never planned for. Many organizers deal with this more often than they admit, and it can turn an otherwise strong academic event into a messy experience.
A large share of attendee complaints links to long entry lines. A good event check-in app helps organizers welcome guests with ease. Whether you host or attend an event, you need the right event tool. Screens, signs, and simple apps help people move from one place to another without stress. Event tech tools have now changed how event teams work each day.

According to Market.us, the number of planners adopting automated systems has increased multifold in the last two years.
As university students prepare for their fall semester exams, there’s only one thing on their minds: the winter holidays! Most students make plans months ahead to make the most of their holidays.
