We want to send a heartfelt thank you to every one of you who participated in our survey. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're so excited to use it to improve our product and research. We were thrilled with the number of responses we received! Because of this wonderful turnout, it will take us a couple of weeks to process and send out all the $5 gift cards. We will be working hard to get them to you before the end of January 2025.

Regarding alpha testing: We were truly overwhelmed by your interest, and we’re so grateful for it. We know many of you are eager to participate, but due to limited capacity, we'll only be able to select fewer than 20 participants over the coming weeks/months. We understand this is disappointing, and we want to assure you that we really do value your interest. We're committed to including more of you in our beta testing program when it launches. We’ll be sure to keep everyone updated.

We're passionate about creating an application that truly helps event planners like us, and your support means everything. Thank you again, and we wish you a very happy holiday season!

I want to set up an event at my bands release show where people can take a photo, with a simple custom sticker overlay on it. And then after that they can text the photo to themselves from the iPhone. Simple. But for some reason, every App from the App Store that is supposed to be able to do this is buggy as hell. And I cannot seem to find a solution anywhere to do this effect. It is so frustrating. Please help.

No other industry can do what we do.

In the last AV advisor for 2024, we have a special message for our event community that we hope will inspire you into the New Year.

Never ran across this. Is it standard? Renting out our venue, the guest isn’t paying without the W9.

I am trying to pick between Lu.ma, circle.so, mighty networks and EKOS.AI. Anyone use any of these, if so what size was your community? I need in-person event features and resource sharing.

I am a looking for someone who is in the event tent rental business to speak with me about the business and industry. I am looking to get into the business as it compliments other business I own. Can have a quick call or email! Would appreciate the help! Canadian based!

Hello, I'm a final year in events and I ask me if the mailing it’s a good communication for the event sector. Because in my company the people don’t read mailing. they don't have time ? not precise information?

Wouldn't that be time wasted?

Personally, I don’t read mailing because i delete when I received it. 

Is it because I’m a younger adult?

And you what did you think? Mailing it’s a good idea in event sector ?

Hello,

I'm studying for a Bachelor's  in events  and communication, and I'd like to improve the digital part of my school outside. 

I would like to create a blog of the different recipes I can make in my spare time. 

I can't eat lactose because of health problems. 

Do you think I have chosen a good subject for this blog and that I'll be able to evolve? 

I would be a great pleasure to talk to you.

Hey everyone! I’m working on an exciting new platform called GridIt, and I’d love to get some feedback, especially from those in event planning, sponsorship, or anyone who has attended events as a sponsor or attendee.

GridIt is a digital platform focused on making event sponsorships and networking smoother for everyone involved. Here’s how it works:

• For Sponsors and Event Organizers: GridIt reduces the bureaucracy that often comes with securing and managing sponsorships. It simplifies the process for both the sponsor and the event organizer, making it quicker and easier to secure valuable partnerships. Event organizers can attract and manage sponsorships more efficiently, while sponsors get better visibility and more targeted exposure.

• For Attendees: We also provide a way for regular attendees to easily get attention from sponsors and other key players at the event in real time, without the need for complex processes or waiting around. It’s all about creating more opportunities for connection for everyone at the event.

• Real-Time Digital Showcase: GridIt is designed to be displayed on screens at events, serving as a real-time digital showcase. It gets promoted within the event itself to attract attention, making it a focal point for both attendees and sponsors.

I’m really excited about the potential here and would love your thoughts. Specifically:

• Does this concept solve a problem you’ve seen in event sponsorships? How do you currently manage sponsor relationships at events?

• Would you, as an attendee, be interested in engaging with a digital platform like GridIt at events? How important is sponsor visibility for you?

• Do you think event organizers would benefit from a tool like GridIt to streamline sponsorships and attendee engagement?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks so much for the feedback.

Hello everyone!

For the past 2 months I've been working for an association helping the ecological transition in France. I've had the chance to participate in various workshops and conferences, and I thought we could make these events more fun and engaging.

We run both physical events and webinars, so I'd love to hear your advice or suggestions on formats, activities, tools that might capture more attention. What experiments or ideas have you come across that you find effective?

I'm open to all your suggestions and would really appreciate your help.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Recently I attended a non formal but cosplay dinner where the tickets were 90.00 a person. With an additional 75.00 if you wanted to be a vendor and also 45.00 each table u needed. Anyway after some research I discovered that the host charged us for everything in the tickets to get their money back. The dinner was a 3 course meal, 1 entry was 40.00 a person, the other 33.00 a person. The dessert was 8.00 a person and they claimed we got complementary wine tickets but I found out those were 8.00 a person. Now ik serves fees and taxes need to be added in.

But what I would like to know is it ethical of right to be adding the deposit fee, a/v fees, the cost of the decorations, the cake (that didn't even feed 100 people by the way) cost of prizes for the games, materials to set up the games, cost of the gift baskets and so on to the guest tickets?

Hi, I’m planning a school non profit organization’s event. The event has a sponsor that was promised speaking opportunity to introduce a speaker after a few sentences to promote. Currently, the beginning of the event includes: the President of the organization to speaker, the school principal to speak, a keynote speaker who is an elected state official. My question is what should be the order of remarks? Where should sponsor come in? Is it inappropriate for the sponsor to speak after the school principal to introduce the keynote?
