Technology chosen for your event, not the other way around.
What technology should do for your event
For nine years I designed the event tech strategy behind large international conferences. I start with what an event needs to achieve, then choose the tools that get it there.
Good event technology brings your virtual and in-person participants into one experience. It keeps people engaged during sessions, makes information easy to find, and helps participants connect with each other. That is the standard I design toward.
Why choosing it is hard
There are more platforms than ever, and they are hard to tell apart from the outside. Organisations often end up with a tool built for something else, such as an add-on app from a company whose real product is abstract management, bought only to send push notifications.
Some platforms run on older systems behind a modern, AI-styled front end, and the difference only shows when your team has to set up an event. I know how to navigate this landscape because I've spent years working deep inside these platforms.
How I help,
from strategy to setup
I begin with your goals and audience, and design the digital setup around them.
I compare the options on how they work in practice, and recommend what fits your event, your team and your budget.
I get the chosen tools ready for your event and make sure they work before your participants use them.
I'm not tied to any single platform, so my recommendation is based only on what serves your event.
The three questions I ask of every tool
If the answer to any of them is no, I don't recommend it. I also check how each tool handles attendee data, so privacy questions are answered before you commit.
01 — Does it solve the problem?
I start with what your event needs to achieve, not with the feature list.
02 — Does it work reliably?
I look at how it works in practice, not only at how it is presented.
03 — Does it make life easier?
For your team and for your participants.
