Walk-through 10: Encouraging audience interaction with an event app
Hello everyone, Being able to access an event wherever you are is essential for enhancing the experience for your attendees. Having constant access to all the necessary information about the event, as well as engaging material, and networking opportunities can be extremely beneficial to attendees.

Walk-through 8: Evaluating your session using analytics
Hi all, Gauging how a session impacted the audience is just as important as the planning that went into it. This assessment exercise is beneficial, as it enables presenters to see if the content in the slide deck is good as is, or if it needs to be improved for future meetings.

After a session is complete, Backstage generates detailed analytics to give you
Walk-through 7: Engaging audiences with interactive sessions
Hey all, The success of a session wholly depends on the involvement of the people in the audience. But what if the icebreaker didn't actually break the ice, or people chose to fill up the back rows rather than the front? How do you interact with everyone and make them feel involved? In today's post, we'll discuss engaging audiences with interactive sessions. Backstage provides you with the tools to enable your audience to connect with you when you're presenting a session.

Clone Event - Suggestion
I suggest implementing ability to clone an Event. We have many events that are almost identical in all ways except for dates, and this would be very helpful.
Dietary Needs - Suggestion
Suggest adding feature to collect information about dietary needs of each participant. Overall this could be accomplished by adding ability to add custom fields into ticketing forms (drop-downs, etc), but in the future I would assume this should be added to an overall meal planning set of features.

In today's post, we'll discuss setting up a multilingual microsite for your event. Backstage lets you import languages and make the event microsite available to audiences in 78 different languages.
Walk-through 2: Creating an event-focused website
Hi everyone, A website is a great way to promote your event. However, a website costs you money, time, and effort.
