In the early days of event management software, event professionals preferredusing different software for different purposes. It made sense at that momentbecause some companies did specialize only in ticketing, while others were goodat project workflow management or building mobile event apps. However, this hasmany downsides – not only you have to pay more, using different providers, butvery often the various software solutions don’t work well together. The biggesthurdle from a practical point of view is that event managers cannot make use ofall the data that is gathered if there isn’t one unified database.
All-in-one solutions are undoubtedly the future of event managementsoftware. But, of course, they differ too. This is why we advise you to requesta demo before you decide which event software company to choose as apartner. The main modules that you should look for are Project WorkflowManagement, Event Management, and Mobile Event Apps (all available in Meetingbox).

Event software isn’t something fancy. You don’t buy it to show off. Of course,you can (and you will) impress attendees, but design alone is not enough. Eventprofessionals invest in software to automate monotonous tasks, to improve teamcommunication, to make events more interactive, to improve attendeesatisfaction and to collect useful data for post-event analysis. Ourrecommendation for you here is to go into detail before purchasing. Which arethe specific features of the software? How exactly do they work? Could they beadapted to your needs? Does the company offer 24/7 support? These are just someof the questions that you need to get answered before purchasing a particularevent management software.
