Correctly handing delegates experience is crucial to the success of an event. Handling vast amounts of delegate information can be both time consuming and difficult for event organisers. Thankfully, a solution exists.

 

This solution is delegate management software. The emergence of delegate management software not only provides an effective platform for event managers to greater understand and work with the information of the delegates of their event, but it provides a platform for increased communication with delegates.

 

Delegate Management Software acts as comprehensive toolkit for events for any size and with the right online event management solution you can create bespoke websites to handle an event from start to finish. Areas such as planning, marketing and registering to post-event analysis reporting and event data management can all be enhanced by the use of a delegate management system. Due to the amount of time saved and the efficiency, these types of software are proving to become an essential part of the event planning process and are becoming very popular with Event Managers.

 

Some delegate management systems offer the option to create applications for events also. Once delegates have registered, you have the option to download an app which hosts vital information and makes it easier for delegates to access information such as the agenda and speakers for the day. The system makes it easy to track information through the app and you can receive push notifications such as invites and updates throughout the event.

 

"The software helps you create branded websites to detailed registration forms. From building delegate agendas to managing online payments. From badges and barcode scanning to in depth analysis on attendance and revenue. If it’s important for my event, I know Events Force will help me manage it", Clare Timmins - Senior Event Manager.
