Two members of our EventPro team, Account Representative C.J. Leib and Training Director Chris Dmytruk, recently attended the 29th Annual ACCED-I (Association of Collegiate Conference and Event Directors-International) Conference in Boston, MA, March 22-25, 2009. The ACCED-I represents over 1,600 campus professionals who design and plan conferences and special events on college campuses. |
Since colleges form one of the many industries served by EventPro Software, Leib was looking forward to this unique opportunity to meet face-to-face with prospective clients, "ACCED-I's Annual Conference is a fantastic opportunity for EventPro to meet with decision makers in the industry as well as connect with existing clients and old acquaintances. The EventPro booth was kept busy with many people stopping by to marvel at EventPro’s user-friendly features, powerful reporting and affordable pricing.” |
The EventPro duo also gave a fabulous review on the ACCED-I Conference on the whole, “This year's conference was another success! ACCED-I really knows how to put together an informative and fun experience for everyone involved," said Leib. Chris Dmytruk concurred, “ It was great to see so many people come out. The activities put on by ACCED-I were awesome and the presentations were very informative. Overall, it was a great networking environment.” So make a note on the calendar for next year and try to make it out for the 30th Annual ACCED-I Conference. EventPro Software’s sure to be there, and we’d love for you to stop by the booth and say hi! |
We look forward to future opportunities to meet our customers personally. Keep posted about future events with EventPro’s News and Newsletters on our website. |

If your facility has Accommodations, you need something to help you keep track of all the crucial details: the types of rooms in the facility, rooms available on a given day, variable room rates, occupants, check in and check out dates, additional charges, related events, and so on. EventPro Software offers just what you need: the EventPro Accommodations Module. |
The Accommodations Module allows you to set up your facility’s rooms in any customised format you require. For example, you may choose to group rooms according to floors, size or other characteristics. If several rooms have the same or similar properties, the time-saving Multi-Add feature lets you add multiple rooms simultaneously. You can then create your rate structure. Do you provide discounts, seasonal pricing or business rates? The rates will always be specific to your facility because you create them. |
After you set up your rooms and rates, the process of making reservations couldn’t be easier! The Reservation Wizard guides you through adding all the details, such as check in/out dates, number of nights, and additional charges. If a reservation is related to an event booked at your facility, the reservation and event can be linked for easy access. Once you make reservations, you can conveniently view them in the graphical Accommodations Calendar. At a glance, the color-coded cells inform you how many rooms are still available, whether there are any room restrictions, and which rooms have already been checked into. Even more details will appear in the informational pop-ups. |
If you need a solution for managing your facility’s Accommodations, check out EventPro’s Accommodations Module. Contact our Sales Team for a free demonstration and a quote. If you already have the Accommodations module and want to learn how to use all of its great features, consult the EventPro User Manual at Chapter 10: Accommodations. |
If you want to save some time when working with Communications, make sure that you have set the new communication defaults in your System Settings. If you take a few minutes now to adjust these settings, you can avoid repetitive data entry in the future. In the program, select Setup | System Settings from EventPro’s main menu, and click on the Communications tab. |
For some of the default settings, you can choose whether EventPro will always perform the task, never perform the task, or prompt you each time to choose whether you want to: |
|
For the other settings, you can choose the default entry that will appear in the field, so that you do not have to select the options every time you create a communication. You can select the default: |
|
Saving a few seconds each time you send a communication will add up to a lot of time over the year! To learn more about Communication System Settings, refer to the EventPro User Manual at Chapter 1: Setting Up EventPro, Step 1: System Settings, Communications. |
