Hi Everyone,

I’d love to get some insights about how others deal with this. I coordinate many workshops
and it takes a good deal of my time to respond to emails/calls. Have any of you found any
free software online that helps with registration? I’d love a way for people to be able to
register for a workshop – and then a computer program would automatically email them directions
and add their name to a list. Ideas?

Any of you use google calendar for posting of events? Your experience with it?

Thanks in advance,

Joanna

Hi Joanna,

One program that I've used for events in the past that has worked
pretty well has been evite.com. You send out an invitation (or a link
to the website) and then people reply whether they are coming or not.
You can set it to send automatic reminders, directions, etc pretty
easily. Good luck in your search!
