Event Management

Registered Is Not the Same as Turned Up

Events with a named organiser and a real capacity, registration that confirms and closes on its own, attendance marked at the door rather than estimated afterwards, and feedback asked while people still remember.

  • Capacity enforced
  • Attendance recorded
  • Feedback on the day
  • Never oversold

    Registration stops at the size of the room.

  • The real number

    Attended and no show, marked per person.

  • Reminders that arrive

    Before the date, sent without chasing.

  • Useful feedback

    Collected while the session is fresh.

Three things a spreadsheet cannot do for an event

They are not organisational failures. They are the parts a list of names structurally cannot handle.

Oversold

More people registered than the room holds

A spreadsheet has no capacity limit, so the number is discovered on the morning by whoever is standing at the door.

Estimated

Nobody knows who actually turned up

Registration is not attendance. Without the second number, the training report says forty when the room held thirty.

Unmeasured

Feedback is collected when it is too late to matter

Asked a fortnight afterwards, the responses are vague and few, and the next event repeats the same mistake.

Neome handles all three by enforcing capacity, marking attendance, and asking for feedback on the day.

Planning

One organiser, one capacity, one schedule

Internal, customer and training events are set up with their timeline, location, capacity and a named organiser. Naming the organiser is the part that gets skipped and the part that matters, because it turns an event into something with an owner rather than a thread everybody assumes somebody else is reading.

  • Internal, customer and training
  • Location and capacity
  • Named organiser

Registration

Registration that stops at the size of the room

Participants register through a workflow that confirms automatically and closes at the configured capacity. Reminders go out before the date rather than after it, which is the cheapest thing anyone has ever done to raise attendance.

  • Automated confirmation
  • Capacity enforced
  • Reminders before the date

Attendance

Registered, attended, no show: three different numbers

Attendance is marked against each participant, so registration and attendance never get confused for each other. The gap between them is the useful number, and it is the one nobody has when the record is a sign-in sheet that went into a drawer.

  • Marked per participant
  • Registered against attended
  • No shows visible

Feedback

Asked while people still remember

Feedback is triggered after the event, with ratings and written comments collected against that specific session. Because it arrives immediately, the response rate is high enough to mean something and the comments still point at something specific.

  • Triggered post-event
  • Ratings and comments
  • Per session

Reporting

What the event actually did

Set a date range and every figure below it is bounded by those dates.

Registration against attendance

Who came?

Registered, attended and no show per event, which is the difference between a plan and what happened.

Participation by department

Who is being reached?

Attendance broken down by department, which usually shows the gap between the teams that come and the teams that need it.

Feedback scores

Was it any good?

Ratings and comments per event and over time, so a format that works can be repeated deliberately rather than by accident.
