From vinyl records to throwback fashions, retro is the rage (even VHS tapes are making a comeback!). Sure, vintage can be cool and kitschy, but when it comes to your life as a meetings and events planner, outdated processes aren’t any fun at all. In fact, they’re a drag. I mean, when was the last time you called a friend on a rotary phone? So, we know the struggle is real, but it actually doesn’t have to be. Spreadsheets littered across computer desktops, sticky notes pasted all over offices, and tedious time-consuming processes have become as outdated as wheel-less luggage and those 40 lb. planning binders.

In fact, planners who leverage event management tech are increasing productivity by 27%, and boosting their event attendance by 20%. Plus, they’re cutting costs, something that makes managers and the finance office very happy. Download our free eBook here, and get started revolutionizing your own event planning.
