Fortunately, technology has been developed to make some of the more time-consuming and complicated processes a lot quicker and easier. Here\u2019s a selection of tools that might help you with putting on a first-class event at your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phuketmeetingconference.com\/\">Phuket conference venue<\/a> of choice.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trello<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Trello is a wildly successful and extremely popular task\nmanagement software, yet its premise is deceptively simple. Tasks are broken\ndown into cards, which are sorted into columns according to whatever metric you\nplease. With colourful labels, in-card checklists and the ability to assign\npeople to specific cards, you can see the progress of planning at a glance, see\nwhat issues have been identified and communicate with card members in the\ncomments sections for each. As a bonus, the basic version is free and has more\nthan enough features to manage an event.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hootsuite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Once you\u2019ve got your event planned, your Phuket conference venue\norganised and and a date set, you need to start thinking about marketing.\nHootsuite enables you to manage a wide all of your social media platforms in\none place. You can simultaneously post on or montior Twitter, Facebook,\nInstagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and Pinterest accounts, controlling it all from\none place instead of having to go to each individually. You can also use\nanalytics to monitor how effective your marketing is on what platforms. It\u2019ll\nsave you a lot of time and work.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IFTTT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>The name means \u201cIf This Then That\u201d because it started life as\nquite a simple piece of software intended to make it easier to post across\nmultiple social medias. The idea is that you can program in automated responses\nto online stimuli. So, for example, you could set it to automatically retweet\nany post that uses your conference hashtag or automatically move any conference\nnotes emailed to you into a Google Drive. Basically, any repetitive task can be\nhandled instantly and for free. Since event organisation involves quite a lot\nof repetitive tasks, this tool is very valuable.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guidebook<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More and more conferences are using dedicated conference apps, which are great until you have a last-minute alteration to incorporate. Guidebook is designed to provide a simple solution to this problem. If you have to make a quick change to the event programme or schedule, you can do so through Guidebook and it will push a notification to delegates\u2019 phones so that everyone involved is kept updated. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organising and running a conference is a bit of a logistical challenge, but like any difficult task, it\u2019s one that can be somewhat simplified if you have the right tools.
