Events, whether live, virtual or hybrid, can be sprawling, multifaceted beasts that seem to sprout new fire-breathing heads every day. Fortunately, there’s a company named Eventsquid whose software imbues planners with enough arms to wrangle those unwieldy, and often overwhelming, events. 

Eventsquid’s all-in-one event management software was originally created to assist hobby and sporting event promoters plan and execute their competitions. Within a few years, however, the team realized that the self-serve simplicity and cross-sport flexibility they honed for widely varying competitions would translate amazingly well in the world of “organizational” events. Eventsquid now serves clients like Comcast Business, Volvo, Vanderbilt University, Army National Guard and hundreds more, large and small. 

With Eventsquid, planners get an amazing array of tools in a single web-based platform—with every feature always included. Some key capabilities include the creation of turnkey event microsites in less than a couple of minutes (no HTML know-how required), custom registration paths that are tailored to specific types of attendees, and the integration of any video or livestreaming service—so you can spare your attendees an avalanche of Zoom links. Communication tools sit atop your custom event setup, which means you can selectively text or email specific sub-groups of attendees. Where possible, content libraries eliminate redundant data entry; speakers, sponsors, venues, documents and even questions are always available to simply drop into an event setup. (That whole multi-arm thing starts to make sense about now.)

Eventsquid also handles mobile app creation, exhibitor sales, attendee communication, agenda management, surveys, volunteer signup and tracking, speaker management and reporting. Eventsquid has invested heavily in its continuing education services; they allow you to automate and simplify CE tracking, awards, transcripts and certificates.

Features are one thing, but usability is equally important. Planners throughout North America have praised Eventsquid’s easy-to-use, flexible platform, which features an intuitive, clutter-free interface. Central to the platform’s design is the main dashboard that offers an up-to-date snapshot of your event’s progress. From here, you can get an immediate look at the revenue, attendance, registrations and registrant types, as well as a searchable, sortable list of attendees. Best of all, every bit of data you collect is portable; you can export through custom-designed reports or use the REST API to automate the transfer of data from Eventsquid to your favorite CRM or financial software.

From a business perspective, Eventsquid distinguishes itself with a transparent and predictable license. Simply put: an annual flat fee gets you access to all of the features all of the time, with unlimited administrative users, no-holds payment processing (no cut for the Squid either), individualized training to help you start off on the right foot and ongoing support. You will also be delighted by the price.
