Planning an event can be a real hot mess if you’re not organised. For event planners, staying on top of everything is an imperative task to ensure you can get an event running smoothly – from collaborating with the client in the early days to deliveries not arriving on the day of the event. Every step of the way, there are apps for event planners to simplify the process and your team’s communication.<\/p>\n

\n\nSuperPlanner
\n<\/b>Calculate venue capacity, catering, staffing, staging and all the other event necessities on SuperPlanner. The business app is a must-have for professional event planners to keep things at bay when you’re on the go (which, let’s face it – you always are).\nBizzabo
\n<\/b>It’s easier to convert enquiries when you can also segment your audience to send targeted emails and track real-time analytics. With Bizzabo you can manage ticketing, communication, promotions, networking, and analyzing one or many events. Plus, the platform is super easy to use, because you don’t have time to be figuring\u00a0out how apps work.\nTryBooking
\n<\/strong>Trybooking is a super simple way to organise events big and small. Track ticket sales, registrations, create custom event pages, and use\u00a0RFID and bar-code scanning.

\"apps<\/strong><\/p>\nLumi

\"apps<\/strong><\/p>\nSlack
\n<\/b>Slack is the ultimate chat room app. Create as many team channels (or group chats) as you want, and have private conversations. Upload files, alert an entire channel, ping individuals, and pin documents to the channel.\nAsana
\n<\/b>Asana helps you manage it all.\u00a0Create lists, calendars, boards, track progress, and upload files – all capable in one project, so you can have multiple projects running and they’re all organised.

\"apps<\/p>\nScanner Pro
\n<\/b>Take care of the nitty-gritty paper trails of event-planning by using Scanner Pro, an app which scans receipts and documents perfectly. Scanner Pro can automatically upload PDFs or JPEG files to Dropbox, Google Drive and other services if you need.\nEvernote
