Create your very own Organizer’s Profile on EventNook!

eventnook organiser profile pageHow do you reach out to your previous event-goers for your current events? There are people who go for, maybe one or two of your events but do not particularly follow or keep track of upcoming ones. Besides Facebook and other social media platforms, what is another way to keep people informed?

Rejoice, for EventNook’s new feature, the Organizer’s Profile is the one-stop avenue for all your events! Now your attendees have access to everything under a single page. While social media platforms work well, ours is designed exclusively to showcase all the events you have organised in a listed calendar format.

Page viewers can toggle between past and upcoming events to check out what you have organized in the past and also in the near future. The list requires no extra effort – it is automatically shown according to the “My Events” page you see in your own account. You can spare yourself the hassle of listing everything and let EventNook do it for you.

eventnook organiser profile pageBesides that, you can input general information of you or your organization, such as name, logo, tagline, description and website. The information display is great for increasing brand awareness or brand recognition as well. With this, attendees can clearly see who the organizer is.

Add a banner image to create a page with your own look and feel. Perhaps something colourful for a vibrant and dynamic company? Or a picture with blue and grey hues to denote professionalism and productivity? You choose.

Our widget also allows you to present both your events and Facebook page simultaneously, which could serve as an additional platform to lead your attendees to your social media page. Who says you can’t have the best of both worlds?

The most wonderful thing about the new Organizer’s Profile, though, is that creating it is so simple. EventNook has made the process of creating a profile page easy by putting everything together in a single form. Try it out for yourself by following this guide:

1. Look for the Organizer’s Profile page.

First, log in to your account.

eventnook organiser profile page log inLook for “Settings” under “Account” at the top of the page.

Sparking more creative collaboration in Singapore’s events industry

Singapore’s events industry is abuzz. Community events will see a surge due to SG50, more MICE events will be coming to Singapore with the opening of new MICE venues, and more companies will be rushing to organise corporate and social events as they see the value of events for marketing!

Brace yourself event planners in Singapore! You are about to get even busier.

But the industry ought to take a step back and make sense of this flurry of activity! It is crucial to. If not, we will find ourselves going in circles, experience crippling inefficiencies and miss out on opportunities. Collaboration and exchange of ideas is key to helping the industry make sense of the chaos. In doing so, we can

  • Partner with companies to increase clout and resources
  • Outsource jobs to third-party companies who do it better
  • Learn from best practices
  • Learn about new innovations
  • Generate new ideas
  • See new opportunities
  • Know the gaps in knowledge in industry

EventNook has decided to kickstart an event series for events people – “Chill Out with Event People“! We want to bring the small and big players in Singapore’s event industry together and help small but innovative companies gain exposure. We have brought together venue owners, suppliers, non-professional event planners, photographers, marketing agencies and whoever makes events happen, so that everyone can mutually benefit!

Event planners have the opportunity to learn about new services out there, new companies have the opportunity to speak to the giants in the industry, tech companies like us will be there to share the latest in events registration and check-in systems (and other new tech), while obscure venues can gain exposure.  It gives event planners unprecedented access to innovation and partnerships, and sows the seeds for new types of events to be created.

At present, the Singapore events sector is full of ideas and energy, but events for the events people to harness this dynamism and potential for collaboration is still lacking. Events people are too busy looking outwards, that there’s little time to slow down and look inwards. Even as networking events in other sectors increase, as seen from the numerous meetup groups, facebook groups, and events on our own events page for startups, engineers, marketers and so on, networking events for events people throughout the industry are minimal.

We need a recognisable Singapore events community.

Singapore’s ins and outs can be showcased to the world only when event planners uncover her hidden gems. More networking amongst events people in Singapore will allow events planners to uncover new services, new venues and new ideas. If we want to achieve the vision of giving visitors authentic local experiences (MICE2020), we need to collaborate more.

If you want to know more about the events industry, learn insights into event marketing, mingle with fellow events people or showcase your company, the first installment of Chill Out with Events People will be on the 9th July, 7pm at Canvas Singapore so register now!

Guest Check-in

Challenges

  • All guests had to be checked-in within 2 hours
  • The system had to be very simple and user-friendly so that ushers can learn how to use it right before the event
  • Security at the event was tight. System had to be robust so that security of guests and VIPs will not be compromised

QR code ticket scan check-in mobile app is launched

We have been empowering some of the large events with our QR code based e-ticketing and mobile app QR scanner for attendees checkin and ticket verification at the door in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.

Now, we are very excited to extend this event check-in mobile app for all kind of events such as music, festival, performance, conference, corporate events, seminar, workshops, etc. with a simple and easy QR code ticket scanner to easily manage attendees check-in or verify tickets at the door. You can download the app here to try out.

We believe that this mobile tool will benefit a lot of events in Singapore and other Asia countries as more and more events are driving online ticket sales with QR / Barcode e-ticketing for admission which saves time and hassle for ticket buyers as it no longer requires collecting paper ticket issued from traditional ticketing agent or outlets (E.g., SISTIC in Singapore). It’s also FREE to use and no additional cost for our event organizers.

As with all of our websites, we designed this online venue directory to be crisp and clean without much clutter so that it would be easy on the eyes! We provide the basic information of each venue such as its website, contact information and address.

When event organisers find a venue that is suitable for their event, they can contact the venue owner directly for price quotations and floor plans as well as other details such as amenities.
