Conferences, symposiums, launches, shows, exhibitions, competitions and courses may vary in size, duration and scope, but they all involve bringing together a certain number of people in a real or virtual setting, at the same time.
To achieve this, you'll need to prepare the program, find sponsors, draw up the schedule, reserve equipment and the venue, plan decoration, entertainment, food, accommodation, transportation, escorts, reception, badges, security and many other management details.
At the same time, you'll need to promote the event, manage registrations and payments, and after the event ensure follow-up, editing of recordings, dissemination of results, close the budget, pay everyone and prepare for the next one.
Some tasks are critical, like managing registrations and payments. Others deserve strategic attention, such as promotion.
This directory is divided into two sections: firstly, online ticketing services and software for promoting and collecting registrations, and secondly, event management services and software, which for the most part also handle ticketing, but can also manage the more general organization of an event.
Price differences vary substantially from one service to another. What's more, if your institution is already capable of handling credit card transactions, you'll be able to deduct 3-6% of the fees for many of these services.
Finally, some services will promote your event on their network, while others will help you leverage your social networks, which may be of interest if your event is open to a wide audience.
