As far as the start-up of the event, how does that work in practice? Below is a list of the most used tools that are deployed in the background. Maybe there are other alternatives that you are missing, in any case it shows that you can already achieve quite a lot with free online tools.
Website
Mindz supports the event by functionally setting up the general website and the event site, we take care of the content ourselves. This software offers, among other things, a social network functionality, blogs, static pages, and an event registration module. Because the ticket module was not yet ready at the time of the website launch, a Facebook and LinkedIn event were set up as 'pre-registration', so that interested parties can share with their network that they (want to) go to the event.
The website runs on its own domain, and we use Gmail 's IMAP el salvador phone number list functionality to easily keep track of our email together. A few smart filters provide some overview, while the browser plugin Rapportive provides social context for the emails we receive.
The event has been posted on various relevant event sites, such as here on Frankwatching , Adformatie , eventbuzz , B2B contact , Event Calendar , and as an event on Facebook and Linkedin.
Cooperation
Google Docs proves to be ideal for working together on texts and ideas. Documents can be shared, edited by multiple people and comments and reactions can be added in the sidebar. This is much more efficient than continuously sending around modified documents and you can exchange knowledge faster. We also use it to keep track of the list of participants and interested parties, coordinate follow-up actions and gain insight into the results.
