However, in order to obtain the most realistic possible calculation for an implementation as early as the planning phase, it is advisable to think about certain key data, framework conditions and <strong>requirements in<\/strong> <strong>advance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A widespread <strong>misconception<\/strong> is that the <strong>cost of<\/strong> professional attendee management can be measured purely in terms of the number of<strong> guests<\/strong> &#8211; this is not the case!<br \/>\nRather, the question arises as to which specific <strong>processes<\/strong> must be mapped in participant management and which functions a registration platform must provide.<br \/>\nThe spectrum here ranges from <strong>simple events<\/strong>, where only the pure <strong>admission or cancellation<\/strong><br \/>\nof the guests must be recorded, up to very <a href=\"https:\/\/guest-one.com\/en\/guest-management\/guesthub\/online-registration\/\"><strong>complex<\/strong> <strong>registrations<\/strong><\/a>where e.g. also <strong>accompanying persons<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/guest-one.com\/en\/guest-management\/guesthub\/digital-hotel-management\/\"><br \/>\n<strong>hotels<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>&#8211; and <a href=\"https:\/\/guest-one.com\/en\/guest-management\/guesthub\/travel-organization\/\"><strong>travel<\/strong> <\/a>as well as different <strong>program parts<\/strong> have to be managed as well.<\/p>\n<p>These functions must be coordinated and configured in a <strong>subscriber management system<\/strong>, perhaps programmed and then deployed. That is where the <strong>expense<\/strong> first arises. But whether 150 or 1,500 guests then sign up is <strong>not<\/strong> really <strong>decisive for<\/strong> the design of the offer.<\/p>\n<p>The following <strong>list <\/strong>is intended to help you write as <strong>structured<\/strong> a <strong>briefing<\/strong> as possible for your next project and thus enable the service provider to calculate the effort as concretely as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participant Management Checklist:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When will the <strong>event<\/strong> take place?<\/li>\n<li>When should be <strong>invited<\/strong>, how long is the registration period?<\/li>\n<li>How many guests should be invited and how many guests are expected?<\/li>\n<li>How should invitations be sent &#8211; digitally, by mail, or a combination?<\/li>\n<li>What <strong>information<\/strong> should be <strong>requested from<\/strong> the guests?<\/li>\n<li>Are there different <strong>categories of guests<\/strong> that get different <strong>queries<\/strong> or <strong>options<\/strong> (e.g. a VIP is allowed to bring a companion and also gets an overnight stay, a &#8220;normal&#8221; guest is not)?<\/li>\n<li>In which <strong>languages<\/strong> should invitations and <strong>registration platform<\/strong> be available?<\/li>\n<li>Are <strong>escorts<\/strong>, hotel rooms, travel and\/or event parts (e.g. workshops) to be managed?<\/li>\n<li>Is seating management (seating) required?<\/li>\n<li>Should a guest hotline (mail and\/or phone) be set up during the registration period?<\/li>\n<li>Is also an on-site support (<a href=\"https:\/\/guest-one.com\/en\/guest-management\/guesthub\/guests-check-in\/\"><br \/>\n<strong>check-in of the guests<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>) desired?<\/li>\n<li>Should name badges be produced?<\/li>\n<li>How long is the <strong>on-site period<\/strong>?<\/li>\n<li>Are follow up measures like a survey or a picture gallery planned?<\/li>\n<li><strong>What budget<\/strong> is available for participant management?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regarding the last point, many inquirers find it difficult to give an initial <strong>order of magnitude<\/strong> here.
