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.
Organizing a world-class academic conference on a limited budget is no small feat. Unlike corporate events, academic gatherings demand specialized systems for double blind peer reviews, multi-track technical sessions, and the publication of credible proceedings, all while working with tight financial resources.
As an event organizer, you probably recognize that moment when everything seems to collide at once, with late registrations rolling in and stakeholders requesting sudden changes. When your event schedule starts to wobble, the attendee experience feels the impact immediately, and your credibility ends up under the spotlight before you even have time to react.
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
It’s no secret that hosting a successful event today requires so much more than simply selling tickets and waiting for sponsors to write cheques. The increasing competition in the academic event space has left organizers unable to solely depend on ticket sales to grow their revenue. Event organizers who truly wish to grow their revenue need to think outside the box. Continue reading
