Event registration, seating and reminders

The problem

Event logistics live in several places: a form, a payment tool, a spreadsheet and someone's notes. The last week before the event is frantic, and details slip.

What SI does

SI merges registrations and payments, lists unpaid and duplicate entries, and produces headcounts, dietary lists and name tags. It drafts seating by your rules (households together, sponsors near the front), drafts reminder and logistics emails, and produces the final count for the caterer or venue.

Examples

The same job looks different in different businesses. These are illustrations, not client results.

• Professional association

  The annual dinner's registrations are reconciled with payments, and members registered twice through two links are merged.

• Rotary-style service club

  A charity golf outing's foursomes are drafted and sponsor signage is listed.

• Alumni association

  A reunion's dietary list and name tags are produced, with reminders sent three days before.

What it takes to set up

Registration and payment exports, seating rules and message templates. Setup is often a few days before the event.

Try it yourself

Paste this into your SI tool of choice and swap the [bracketed] parts for your own details. It asks SI to stop and show you before it does anything.

Combine these registrations [file] and payments [file] for [event]. List unpaid and duplicate entries, draft seating for [tables] tables of [10] using these rules [paste], and produce dietary and name-tag lists. Draft a reminder email for [3] days before. Pause and show me before sending, submitting, posting or changing anything.
