How do you save $30,000 on your WordCamp registrations?

Save Cash for WordCamp

Keep the Cash Campaign

This weekend we had the opportunity of attending WordCamp Utah. For those who haven’t attended a WordCamp, it’s a great opportunity to be inspired by and network with skilled developers, writers, webmasters, and entrepreneurs. We even had a town hall meeting with WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg and a live presentation from Will it Blend, yeah, seriously! Needless to say, we had a great time.

Even though we had a great time at WordCamp, there was a $30,000 problem that really bothered us. Each of the 153 attendees had to pay an additional $1.49 to cover the cost of registering for WordCamp through Eventbrite. With all the plugin development around WordPress, why would WordCamp not use Event Espresso to manage their events? Event Espresso only costs $59.95 for unlimited events, and no fee per registrant (compare that to $1.49 per registrant with Eventbrite). WordCamp could either use that $1.49 for cool WordCamp things, or they could give us all a discount.

There have been or will be 136 WordCamps in 2010 and if, on average, each WordCamp gets about the same number of attendees as WordCamp Utah, attendees could collectively pay $30,396 just to register for WordCamps! That could fund the development of a sweet new feature or theme or be used to publicize WordPress as a CMS. Developers can help their clients save more money too by using Event Espresso.

To help make WordCamp better, and save a lot of cash, we have decided to donate our event manager plugin, Event Espresso, to every WordCamp site. We do not want to see all that money go toward just registration fees – we’d like to see WordCamp use that money to make it better or let us all keep the cash. We’re here to help you  manager your events better, so if you’re in charge of planning or hosting a WordCamp, contact us to get your free event manager plugin.

You too should make more money from your events, or make them more affordable with Event Espresso.

Proud Sponsor of WordCamp Utah 2010

Friday, August 27th, 2010

We our proud to be a sponsor of WordCamp Utah 2010!

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. Read more…

Since Bluehost is providing lunch for everyone and Nametag.com is supplying the badge holders and lanyards. We figured we could help out with a few extra refreshments in addition to the small cash contribution we already made.

We would also like to give a very special shout out to Joseph Scott and his team for bringing WordCamp back to the great state of Utah! Not only did Joseph and his team bring WordCamp back to Utah after two long years without it. They have managed to round up a great group of speakers, which includes the founding developer of the WordPress project himself – Matt Mullenweg as the keynote speaker.

Friends Don’t Let Friends Host Events on Eventbrite

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

The Truth Is Out!

Event Espresso vs Eventbrite
Event Espresso beats Eventbrite by keeping YOU in full control of your money, customer data, and style.

Are you holding a paid event? Are you willing to give away 2.5% of your ticket value + $0.99 per ticket sold? If so then by all means, host your next event on Eventbrite. Hosting an event on Eventbrite means that you have to fork over a percentage of every ticket you sell.

With Event Espresso you are in control of your money, customer data and style.

Event Espresso is a one-time payment. That means no monthly fees or registration fees.

Protecting Your Customers’ Privacy

Do you value your customers’ privacy? If so, then then why would you use a third party to host your events and keep all of your customers’ data? You might as well let the guy down the street host your next event and collect the money and registration data.

Companies like Eventbrite collect and keep personal information provided by you and the people registering for your events, as stated in the Eventbrite Privacy Policy.

Event Espresso is as secure as you and your server. When you install Event Espresso on your website or blog, you are in total control of the registration data. Every registration performed on your site is stored safely in your database. Accessing and exporting the registration data is as easy as logging into the WordPress admin. With Event Espresso’s easy-to-use interface, you have immediate access to the information you need.

Style and Integration

Have you ever used Eventbrite’s iframe code to showcase your events on your website? Did you ever get the colors just right for each event? I am willing to bet that you may have come close, then gave up after wasting twenty minutes of your valuable time, only to have your customers leave your website to register on the Eventbrite website.

Style is no longer an issue when you have Event Espresso installed on YOUR website. Event Espresso is fully integrated with your WordPress website or blog. That means you spend less time matching colors, pasting in arbitrary code, or just trying to look professional.

So, if you own a WordPress website or blog, stop wasting your time and money with third-party event registration systems. Event Espresso gives you all the tools you need to host, manage, and collect payments for events on your own WordPress website or blog.

For a limited time, get $10 off the basic license using the discount code EVENTBRITE when checking out.
