Online Panel - overview

Online is where the action is, and EventsAir makes it easy to be online in a variety of useful ways. The sections you can access are:

  • Event Website - this is where you can build an event website to support your event
  • Interactive Sites - this is where you build and maintain all of your Interactive Sites.
  • Mobile Apps - this is where you configure, build and publish both your Mobile Attendee App and your Mobile Organizer App.
  • App Store - this feature lets you add additional functionality with specialized apps. Both the publishers of EventsAir and other third-party developers can build apps for EventsAir.

Event Website Builder Tool

The Event Website Builder Tool lets you build a single page or multi-page responsive Event Website to promote your event or meeting. The drag and drop environment allows you to quickly build attractive sites with hundreds of pre-built components to choose from.

Interactive Sites

An Interactive Site can be configured to capture rich data including contact information, hotel bookings, payments, registration types, and marketing data, and also checks bookings against remaining inventory levels in real time. The Interactive Sites are supported by all current browsers, and are optimized for all desktop and mobile devices, making it easy for attendees to register. It features Form Logic, which automatically bypasses collecting specific information according to the parameters you set up. For example, if an attendee registers for the first day only, the form will skip questions regarding activities on subsequent days. The Interactive Sites are easy to set up, and you can host the form on one of our predefined URLs, or use your own URL. The form allows you to collect unlimited information, and you can easily customize its look & feel to match an organization's brand.

See Creating an Interactive Site for complete instructions on using this feature.

Mobile Apps

Two extremely useful tools within the Online panel are the Mobile Attendee App and the Mobile Organizer App.

The Mobile Attendee App allows you to communicate directly with all attendees or selected attendees. You can build this app in less than five minutes, and some functions do not require the internet, so attendees are not hampered by slow connection speeds. When attendees load the app, they receive all of the information they need, such as their daily schedules and session data. They can also search for attendees and message one another. You can even load in local information for them, such as restaurants, and points of interest. 

The Mobile Organizer App demonstrates our commitment to event organizers. This powerful app puts EventsAir onto any mobile device, so you can manage the event onsite wherever you go. It streamlines EventsAir down to the features you need most during the event, right at your fingertips. You can get access to the agenda, perform session and function check-ins, monitor your Twitter feed, view live streaming sessions, search for attendees, send out alerts, communicate with your staff, access Run Sheets, run reports, and more.

See Creating a Mobile Application for detailed instructions on using this feature.
