As the name suggests, event management software serves a wide variety of features at the disposal of event organizers. Currently, numerous products are available on the market. Choosing between a high-end or lower-level event management software that suits individual needs creates difficulties for event organizers. As a general rule, select the right one based on the possibilities for integration and their depth.
run.events, as an event management software, has been designed from scratch. It aims to support event organizers in all aspects of their business while using a modern, cloud-based platform. And more importantly, the platform doesn't require set-up time or upfront payments. From its conceptual phase, run.events aim to become a central communication point with the main event stakeholders: attendees, sponsors, speakers, and service providers.
Event management software itself constantly evolves, but the go-to-market version already has numerous features to ease event organizers' day-to-day tasks. The platform’s main focus is on the features that help event organizers with seamless ticketing configurations and sales, tickets and attendee management, customers and invoicing, customer relationship management (CRM), sponsors management, and speakers and agenda management.
Ticket sales generate the biggest chunk of revenue in the event business. Maximizing revenue opportunities is a priority for any event management software currently available. These are some of its features: supporting easy ticketing and transparency about prices and discounts. In response to demand, run.events built its main features around tickets, attendees, finances, and payment processes. To name a few:
Ticket type management, advanced ticket rules and options, ticket add-ons, and ticket options targeted to different audience groups
Ticket sales, invoice issuing, and management
Payments management, financial reporting
Managing ticket refunds and cancellations, issuing cancellation documents
Managing vouchers and corporate customers
Conference badge design and printing for attendees, speakers, sponsors, and service providers
Attendee check-ins and registration desk management
Let's not forget that event sponsors and partners offer financial stability to event organizers firsthand and a great sense of credibility for future iterations by generating bigger ticket sales and growth in attendance. In general, sponsors are looking for power options when it comes to lead scanning and retrieval services and, at the same time, transparency inside sponsorship packages. In this area, run.events offer sponsors and partners multiple features:
Global CRM: Ability to manage all sponsors, service providers, and other key customers in an easy-to-use CRM
Manage sponsorship items, packages, and contracts per event and sponsor. Organizers are always aware of which sponsorships are closed, which are still in the acquiring process, and which are lost opportunities
Seamless creation of sponsorship contracts, contract upgrades and invoicing
Automated creation of sponsorship tickets
Self-service area for sponsorship management, lead management, and lead analytics
In addition, high-end event management software such as run.events provide event organizers with completely automated control around speakers management and agenda management:
Publishing and managing Call for Speakers (CfP)
Managing the content team and automating the whole content selection process
Schedule builder and agenda management
Speaker management and speaker communications
Automated creation of speaker tickets
Team chat and team communications

Mobile app for attendees, networking, chat, agenda overview, personal schedule building, sessions overview, speakers and sponsors information
Session check-ins and self-check-ins within the mobile app
Lead scanning and lead management for sponsors within the mobile app
Mobile app gamification
Event management software has the ability to take your events or conferences to a completely new level. The difference between the run.events and other platforms available is in the event organizing experience of its creators, which has led to multiple solutions that allow running the business smoothly and without losing valuable time.
