There are two things you should take into account when getting ready to verify your attendees. Know the difference between Attendance... Read more »

Continuing Education

After working very hard to put on a great conference, the nail in the coffin for the planners’ exhaustion is often the issuing and collation of meeting related surveys and CEUs.

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

Event marketing is changing. Mobile devices have added a new level of interactivity to events and given marketers more opportunities to connect with their audience.
