9 8 Top 10 Questions Smart Companies Need to Ask TRUE COST ACTIVE Network s RegOnline offers a low-cost registration tool with free online support AND free mobile event app! TRUE COST 9 9. What is the true cost of event tech? When you re buying event tech, make sure there are no surprise costs and determine which services are included and which are not. Consider these cost factors: + + Registration costs vary depending on which technology you want and the scope of your needs. For example, tech that focuses mostly on attendee registration and management versus automation that includes modules for exhibitor and speaker management -- should have low transaction costs but also include value-adds. For example, ACTIVE Network s RegOnline offers a $3.95 fee per completed registration, which includes unlimited custom reports and a free mobile attendee app. Bulk discounts. Your tech provider should negotiate based on high registration levels, not-for-profit and multiple events. + + License costs: For more comprehensive event tech, like conference management software, expect to pay a license fee determined by modules used and number of annual events. The annual license fee for strategic meetings management (SMM) tech is typically based on volume of events. On the other hand, registration-only tech should charge no set-up costs or monthly fees. + + Service costs: For single-purpose tech that focuses only on registration, look for zero to no support and maintenance costs. It should be included! Meanwhile, there are additional costs usually involved for a service manager for more comprehensive events. In some instances, your event will require more complex tech requirements, a project manager and a team, dedicated account managers, and personnel to assist on-site at events. All of this increases your costs. + + Report costs: Good event tech should offer you a stable of free, standard reports, plus the ability for you to build customized reports online based on your own parameters. But some reports will require the assistance of a developer and/or account manager for your account and thus cost extra. + + Tech extras: Mobile apps are all the rage for both event owners and attendees at today s events. They enable online registration, QR-code contact sharing, gamification and mobile collaboration. Mobile apps should be free for straight-forward attendee management needs, such as registration-only technology, but expect to pay extra for more complex and engaging requirements.

10 9 Top 10 Questions Smart Companies Need to Ask CHOOSING SERVICES CHOOSING SERVICES 10. What services do I want? Service and support: They are critical pieces of event tech for most buyers. When shopping around for a solution, take an inventory of what kind of services are important to you. Consider the following elements: + + On-site event assistance.

On-site assistance should cover such areas as: Registration VIP handling Controlling access to and tracking attendance at venues and sessions Taking surveys + + Customer Support.
