Since the 1980’s the primary project management tool for event planners has been the spreadsheet. Spreadsheets to plan the program or agenda, spreadsheets of potential speakers, performers, exhibitors and sponsors. Spreadsheets detailing who is doing what and when on site and, of course, a spreadsheet with all your tasks. The problem with using spreadsheets is that it is time consuming and error prone.

Over the years I’ve designed and facilitated hundreds of meetings. One of the most common issues I address that is rarely acknowledged openly is the tension between the wants and needs of suppliers and practitioners at meetings. By “suppliers” I mean vendors of products or services, and sponsors. By “practitioners” I mean the folks who do what the meeting is about; e.g., doctors at a medical event or scientists at a conservation conference.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is a topic that many businesses are talking about and also struggling to put into practice. There is much research and information out there about the power of diverse teams on an organization’s performance and profits, and it stands to reason that it can positively impact events, too. But just like businesses are grappling to understand DE&I and how to implement it in a genuine and effective way, it can be challenging to make it part of your event

Event Tech for Medical and Financial Meetings. I’ve often said that when it comes to event apps (and lately I’ve expanded it to include online and virtual event platforms), 80% of their functionality is the same. Additionally, for significant portions of the events out there, 80% of their needs are the same. What that means practically, is that chances are no matter which you pick, it’s probably going to get the job done.
