While some event planning firms are slowly recovering from the massive layoffs and furloughs that followed the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many event pros at the helm of their companies have been left with a bare-bones team. And as live events begin to make their way back, intermingling with the likely-here-to-stay virtual and hybrid events, it's safe to say event pros have their work cut out for them.
Luckily, though, 2020 has given event and meeting professionals the opportunity to master the art of going virtual and become tech-savvy creatives that have taken to digital platforms for all the tools necessary to streamline the event planning process—a huge help when there are fewer hands on deck. The newest event management tools on the block designed to help downsized teams? Bizzabo's partners and speakers management solution.
The two programs allow sponsors, exhibitors, and speakers to head various aspects of the event, from customizing a profile to communicating within the team, ultimately taking some of the weight off the event organizer. Here's how it works: Bizzabo's partner management solution integrates connection, communication, and content capabilities into a singular gateway for sponsors and exhibitors to seamlessly accomplish tasks. While partners may be located all over the globe, the platform allows for teams to blueprint the entirety of the event together—all from their individual remote locations.
Correspondingly, the speakers management solution program allows organizers to supervise event operations, from coordinating speakers to sending reminders to compiling content. The best part? Using one simplified channel eases the planning process as co-presenters and team members have the ability to collaborate with automatically synced information.
Eran Ben-Shushan, co-founder and CEO of Bizzabo, said in a recent press release: “With the launch of these solutions, partners and speakers are empowered to take control of their virtual and hybrid event experiences, and event organizers are better enabled to focus on what’s really important—creating a rewarding event that drives business forward.
