Tip #1 - As an event planner or meeting planner you know the importance of a well organized event. Using that same strategic way of thinking, when you build an event in Certain's event registration software, will help you save time and money. A great way to create an event plan is to ask your Implementation Manager or Sales Representative for an SOW or Statement of Work document. This document outlines the major areas of Certain Registration and will assist you in gathering all the information you need to begin building your event the right way from the start. Whether you're building your own special event or working with one of our Implementation Managers to create a multi city trade show, a little planning saves more than a little time. And as we all know, time = money!
