Convention Software

One important consideration to make when organizing a convention is how you store all your data. Often it is said by organizers that you are only as good as your data, and that is true for nearly any organizing profession, ranging from politics to events to community organizing - how you organize and use your data is key. You'll need a solution with plenty of features and benefits that suit your needs. That's why we recommend Chrono's convention management software.

Features are the first thing to look at, right alongside the benefits. With this fandom convention software, you can register attendees, record payments, and handle multiple events. It's easy to track sub-events like Art Shows, Dealer's Rooms, and any attendee type you can think of: staff, volunteer, sponsor, etc. Using this software will help save time, especially for your data entry volunteers, and improve your relations with attendees with email contact and more.

The email feature is actually one of the greatest. Currently whenever you register an attendee for an event, the program will automatically send an email (that you can setup and customise) to the attendee confirming their registration. If data is entered incorrectly or they would like to make a change, they can easily spot it and contact you quickly. Other email features soon to come, per their website, includes broadcast emails and announcements to let you contact previous attendees and upcoming events and current attendees about important announcements.
