Online attendee management? It's your choice!

Take your pick of various options and services to fit the style and duration of your association event.

Then the ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) solution may be right for you. These solutions are quick to implement, easy to use and often available at a flat-rate fee – per event or attendee. But not every solution can be customised, for example, by upgrading individual functions or including corporate branding, or these services may be subject to extra charges. Individual support is often limited, and on-site event assistance is more an exception than the rule.

Then often the best option is an attendee management software with flexible configuration options. These software solutions are often on a subscription basis, invoiced per month or annually, and valid for an unlimited number of events. Many also let you integrate your corporate design and provide, for a fee, additional features from newsletters to picture galleries or survey tools.

If you have different target groups and agendas and need to meet specific requirements, a customised all-round package may be the right solution for you. Today, some event agency portfolios include just such a service. Usually, this is based on an existing solution with only the additional functions newly programmed. An all-round package ought to contain tailored advice and product design as well as support across all phases, with on-site support if required.
