I really like this idea. I organized a conference last year for around 100 people, 2 days, wiht a dozen speakers. It was a ton of work to organize everything and i had spreadsheets everywhere and had to interact with a bunch of people about it. I think what would also be useful is having * some kind of internal, only to VIPs, information or something like that. Like, if you register for some kind of conference but you are a speaker there, there is extra information for you that other conferences don't have. * It would also be cool to have like a tie-in hotel booking system or something like that because conferences will have relationships with hotels to get discounts and so driving it through the event management system would be cool. * Also, having it tie in with some kind of submission platform for conference proceedings would be cool. * Having some kind of interaction tool so that your event organizing team can look at things would also be cool. Like I worked with the University of Oslo Science Library, they produced a bunch of posters and flyers and social media posts and stuff like that. It would be cool to have a store for all this kind of marketing material. Those are just some ideas based on my experiences organizing workshops and conferences.

1) Yeah, we already have that in Envelope. :) You can segment your guest list based on their personal information and then send them unique personalized communication via e-mail. 2) Good point! Seems like a good idea for later upsell. 3) We have complete registration flow built within the platform, so everytime you create an event Envelope will automatically create the whole registration flow for you, including the paid events where guests need to buy tickets. 4)Sounds interesting, right now we count with users using Task management tool with Envelope now. Thank you so much for your take!

  of course, I already sent the link to my admin maybe we will use it next time we organize a conference! That's another thing, we will likely not need to pay VAT because we are a university. So handling VAT/non-VAT stuff would also be something to think about.
