Trick question. The best event management system is the one that fits YOUR needs the best. Comparing these platforms is often an apples-to-oranges (or apples-to-screwdrivers) proposition, mainly because very few are alike.

Some focus more on event planning software tools. Others on online registration and attendee management. Others on hybrid events, virtual events or live streaming. Some on venue management, event space rentals and catering. And some on event sales, social media and marketing tools.

Even all-in-one event management software may not be the right fit if it gives you many tools you don’t need that clutter up the experience.

TBH, the best software is the one that aligns with your challenges and needs, and is built to cater to them. Like ours. :) 

By using…

• Event management systems with built-in workflows, triggers and notifications
• Integrations between your separate software platforms so they can seamlessly share data
• Custom dashboards and reporting to display event information and data in real-time
• Online event ticketing and registration forms to streamline the ordering and payment process
• Mobile apps to give attendees instant access to schedules and notifications
• Self check-in kiosks to reduce lines and wait times onsite

A successful event is really gauged by the overall attendee experience and satisfaction. Software can improve engagement and satisfaction levels by ensuring that all event details are planned properly in advance and nothing is overlooked; coordinating how all vendors and stakeholders will work together; streamlining day-of timelines and assignments; and simplifying how attendees participate and interact at the event.
