Getting started with Zoho Backstage

Zoho Backstage Overview

Creating anything from scratch is a hard task, which is something event organizers know all too well. You have to know the right people for each job, organize your programs, invite attendees, keep track of those invitations—and it doesn't stop there.

However, what if we sent you a helper who does all the small but necessary tasks, so you can just focus on making your event a success? You won't have to hunt for website designers or print out your tickets. Sit back while we do all that, and much more, with just a little help from you. Use this guide to get your event up and running quickly.
