EventInterface continues to revolutionize the planning experience for meeting planners and their attendees. Our newest tool, the EventInterface iPhone App enhances the attendee’s experience by placing all event data, communication tools and event social media at their fingertips.

“The App was designed to seamlessly fit in with our online management tool.” said Rod Bridges, company CTO and App Lead Developer. “Some registration software companies provide ticket scanning tools. Some companies provide costly one-time use Apps for conferences. At EventInterface, we aimed to provide the planner with an App that streamlines operations and engages the attendee, creating a much richer and more valuable event experience at no extra cost.” said Bridges.

The EventInterface iPhone App allows attendees to quickly access event confirmations and QR-Coded tickets. They can view and share event photographs. Planners can easily post schedules, event documents and videos to view pre-, during and post-event. Attendees can effortlessly gather other attendee contact information by scanning QR-Coded nametags. The App’s chat feature invites attendees to communicate with other attendees at the event using the App, a great tool to ask questions, set meetings, find each other, and even send pictures to other users. The forum feature allows attendees to view and participate in event specific forums. There are event directions and a growing library of planner resources.

The EventInterface iPhone App is free to download from the App Store. This powerful and innovative App is for Meeting and Event Planners who plan and manage events using EventInterface.com. Click here to download the free EventInterface iPhone App.

OK, perhaps calling this the ultimate schwag is a bit deceiving, it is however just a tad bit extravagant (OK, insanely extravagant) but fun knowing about. A trend seems to be emerging of planners and hosts using Butler services at events. And we’re not talking personal events, but full-fledged corporate meetings and conferences. Florida-based White Glove Services does just that via their Butlers on Call Service. At a time of other service providers scaling down, they have expanded operations into the event world.

For personal celebrations, event Butlers allow hosts to actually enjoy their events. Whether planning a cocktail reception or an elegant dinner, event Butlers can attend to the many details of the event so you can freely interact with your guests. Meeting attendees and planners can use event Butlers for personal concierge services, from arranging airport pick-up, making dinner reservations, and much more. Some even use Butler services to support an attendee’s or planner’s onsite needs in person.

Karolyn Kiburz, CMP, Founder Meeting and Concierges Source Corporations and event planners have implement concierge or Butler services for their staff and event attendees for a while now. Scottsdale-based Meeting and Concierges Source provides such services to corporate clients. They not only support an individual’s concierge needs, but act as a complete resource to plan and manage events, no matter the size.

Before engaging a service it is important to know how you will be charged. You can pay a flat fee or hourly rate. Some may charge a percentage on items ordered. Of course it’s always appropriate to tip. Check references and find out about professional designations and training of the staff prior to engaging a Butler or concierge service.
