Hi Paul,
We’ve used RegOnline
for some years now (it’s mentioned in the article David links to) and
have been very happy with it. It’s not particularly cheap, but it’s
got tremendous functionality and we’ve found it easy to personalize and
use for all kinds of different events, so I can recommend it without reservation.
It’ll produce nametags, participant lists, hotel lists, etc. and it’s
also all online – you only pay when you use it – so it’s
constantly up-to-date; has good tech support; and you can access it from
wherever you may be and whatever computer you might be using, which we’ve
found useful when we have non-local events.
All best, Amy

Paul,
There are a number of online conference and event registration management sites
that you might consider using.... They all charge a fee, but they will
help automate the process by which attendees can register, pay various fees,
sign-up for different classes, and as you mentioned printing out name badges
and such.
For more info, see TechSoup's article: "A Few Good Event-Registration
Tools"

Hope this helps....

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Conference and Meeting Equipment
I am involved
with a conference program and we have struggled for years with producing
packets, registration and name tags. Recently I saw a small system that
combined a lap top, database, and production of name tags. I did not catch
the name of the software. So I know such a thing is out there. Can anybody
tell me what types of products to buy so we can use this in our conference
program? Is anyone lese doing a similar thing? Laptop, printer, software,
wireless access products? Suggest how to set it up too. Many thanks. |
