After working very hard to put on a great virtual conference, the nail in the coffin for the planners’ exhaustion is often the issuing and collation of meeting related surveys and CEUs. If the work is performed using paper and/or spreadsheets, the resulting toil is usually a mountain of tedious and error-prone management of forms. The work is labor and time-intensive and, consequently, unnecessarily expensive. The good news is that EventRebels Online Registration and ERCEU CEU management software has a direct integration with Zoom Meetings and Webinars that makes it easy to track who attended your Zoom meeting and issue...

From Call for Abstracts to Schedule to Mobile Event App: How Event Management Software Can Make it Easy

Posted by & filed under Event Rebels Blog, Meetings Technology, Mobile Event Apps, Speakers, Surveys, What's New.

Mobile Event App

One of the most time consuming processes a conference planner can face is developing the program schedule.  If you have a call for abstracts, the process is further complicated by the need to conduct a peer review of the submissions. After the peer review process is completed, there is still the long task of coordinating the speakers and ultimately compiling the schedule.  After the program is built, you then have to push the schedule out to the attendees – real or prospective – to your website and, probably, via a mobile event app. If you are still using spreadsheets or...

Register Button

An inflexible registration form is one that does not allow you to control what fees and questions a registrant receives based on how they answered other questions on the form. An unattractive form is, well, ugly – such as a cheap looking invitation. If your online registration form has either of these qualities, you are diminishing the brand of your event and your organization. While building an event brand takes a long time of hard work, that impression can be brought down quickly by giving a... Read more »

Conducting Surveys Using an Online Registration Form

Posted by & filed under Event Rebels Blog, Online Registration - Keys to Success, Surveys, What's New.

Feedback Button

It is well known the getting a high response rate from surveys is difficult. One way to get around this is to place questions that are important to you on forms that people will need to fill out. One such place is your membership form. Another area is the online registration form. The registration form is a great place to get answers for critical data such as demographics. The registrant will already be entering personal information, so asking additional personal information in this area will already seem somewhat natural. Here are some tips to get the data you need on... Read more »

A Better Way to Manage Conference Certifications

Posted by & filed under Event Rebels Blog, Meetings Technology, Mobile Event Apps, Onsite, Surveys, What's New.

Event Rebels Tech Tuesday

Have you seen this way of tracking CEUs at a conference before? The first step is to print out sign in sheets, possibly pre-populated with attendee names. The next step is throughout the conference placing the sheets in the appropriate rooms before the workshop and then picking them up after each session. After the show the show organizers get to back to the office and collate the signatures with the registration, membership, and CEU systems. This should only take a few days if you are lucky. Finally, you have to pull this data together and somehow get the certificates to... Read more »

Increase Your Workshop Survey Response Rates

Posted by & filed under Event Rebels Blog, Mobile Event Apps, Online Registration - Keys to Success, Surveys, What's New.

Event Rebels Tech Tuesday

There are few ways to better determine how your audience feels about your workshop than a survey. Until recently, most workshop questionnaires were conducted by having a stack of paper surveys placed on a table at the back of the room. If the planners were lucky, a few people would grab a piece of paper and turn it in before the conference was over. However, most attendees ignored the survey because they were in a rush to get to the next event, or didn’t want to hassle with finding a pen and a hard surface to complete the survey. For...
