About

Built by someone who has run events

EventStreams was built by someone who spent years delivering live and corporate events.

Why we built it

Event software for associationsRun your annual conference and the events around it

Registration and passes, the conference and the smaller events around it, sessions streamed and kept on demand, and a year of events compared with the one before, from one account.

What goes wrong

Why the same event is hard work every year

An association runs the same events on a cycle, often with a small staff and a committee that changes, and each year starts closer to scratch than it should.

Every year starts from a blank page
Last year's rooms, agenda, branding and suppliers are in last year's files, and rebuilding them takes weeks.
Volunteers see everything or nothing
Committee members and volunteers help with one event, and the only way to let them in is to let them see the lot.
Member rates are tracked in a spreadsheet
Member and non-member prices, early rates and complimentary places are tracked in a spreadsheet beside the ticketing.
Nobody can say how this year compared
Attendance, engagement and spend for each event sit in separate reports, and the comparison with last year is done by hand.

Start to finish

Run a whole year of events from one account

  1. 01 · Sell

    Set member and non-member rates as passes

    Member and non-member rates are separate passes, a hidden pass covers the complimentary places your team assigns, and voucher codes handle the discounts you send out. Attendee lists import by CSV.

    Registration & ticketing
  2. 02 · Run

    Start from last year’s event

    Duplicating an event copies its rooms, settings, branding and agenda without the attendees. Speakers, venues and suppliers are held at account level, with each supplier's and venue's record from previous years.

    Operations
  3. 03 · Deliver

    Stream sessions and keep them on demand

    Sessions stream from an encoder or a browser stage, and recordings go into on-demand events, watched in any order or as a numbered course, with a certificate of completion if you want one.

    Live & streaming
  4. 04 · Measure

    Compare this year with last year

    Performance looks back over a financial or calendar year, with events delivered, attendance, engagement and spend compared with the year before.

Questions

Questions about associations

Does EventStreams manage our membership?
No. It runs your events. Members register for each event or are imported by CSV, and member rates are set up as passes or voucher codes.
Can we reuse last year's event?
Yes. Duplicating an event creates a new draft with the same rooms, settings, branding and agenda, and no attendees or registrations. Exhibitor packages come across with their list prices.
Can volunteers have limited access?
Yes. Team groups limit people to particular events, and to rooms within them. On Business and Enterprise, a custom role starts with almost nothing and builds up only from the groups and permissions you give.
Can recorded sessions be offered afterwards?
Yes, on Pro and above. An on-demand event shows videos from the account library in any order or as a numbered course, with an optional certificate of completion.
