In looking at event creation processes across the industry we noticed one consistent, glaring problem; the space where you edited your event page was completely separate from the page itself. In other words, you could not tell what your creation and edits would like without be forced to go to another page to see them. For an organizer simply trying to quickly setup their event page, this caused confusion and frustration and, ultimately, led to an unpleasant experience.

The best case scenario is that they got to spend a lot of time shadowing a more senior colleague, who in turn may have learned from a colleague, etc. If you follow that chain back far enough, the original person winged it.

If you were Mr. Spock, the logic-driven Vulcan with the pointy ears on Star Trek, you’d probably make some very logical conclusions about our society based on your observations. Any on many of them, you’d be dead wrong. Pro football games, like the meetings and events industry, provides a perfect example. Watching an NFL game in person, even if you have a great seat, you can’t see the whole game very well. If the play is on the other side of the field, you can’t see it at all.
