Simplify the planning of a big event

I need to get busy on getting stuff sent out for the big car show coming up in October. Getting everything organized takes so much time. Printing out flyers, registration forms, window displays, dash plaques, etc.

It seems when we let the management at the fairgrounds help advertise for the event, everything ends up rambled! Last year we had one club that was told the event started @ 9 AM. Another club was told it started @ 1 PM, the radio said it started at noon. How can things get so messed up?

I've been trying to figure out a way of keeping everything all straight from the get go. I found this corporate event planning software from Regonline.com that I am thinking would be a perfect solution!



I love the idea of our participants being able to preregister online with the simple click of the button. And it is not one of those 'look all over the site to find the sign up button' type things either. The registration option clearly grabs your attention. Plus, we would be able to post all the information right on the site about the show, all the times for the different events, even set up a page for local hotels for our out-of-town participants.

I can send out emails to everyone on our mailing list, directing them to the site to preregister. That will save a lot of time!

Personally, I think the layout of the site is much more appealing than the flyers we usually send. Everything is simplified. The registration process is smooth and secure!

Maybe it will even entice more people to come out! The more participation we have, the more fun it can be for everyone!
