Guest list nominations
'Guest List FINAL_v3.xlsx' is back in your inbox for the third time this week. The fix isn't a better spreadsheet, it's not sharing one at all.
Pre-Event
Decide what has to be perfect before event week
Something breaks the week of the event, every time. The teams who stay calm through it already agreed, weeks earlier, on which things have to be right and which ones can slide.
Event Operations
Your co-host knows the room. You just can't see it.
Your co-host already knows which guests should meet and which should stay apart. Getting that out of their head takes one editable field, not another call.
Preparation
Two logos don't host an event
Co-hosting breaks at the logo bar. Keep the invite from one real sender, put both hosts on the page as people, and run the swap test before it ships.

Bring your own builder
Our landing page editor handles most events. For the rest, build the page in whatever tool your team already knows. Gatsby handles registration on top.
Registration
The badge is the only thing every guest reads
Most teams print a name on it. The leverage is in everything else they could have printed.
Check-In
The best survey question goes out after the RSVP
The question worth asking is who they want to meet, and AI is what finally makes the answers usable.
