A few people are responsible for setting up events within our company. It would be great if I could allow them to have access to set up their own registration pages along with being able to use all the features within the Acteva system. Can I set up more than one administrator for my account so each person has his or her own access?

Yes. You can give each person his or her own user name and password to use within the Acteva system.

I plan quite a few events that are attended by more than one person from the same company. Many times, a single person wants to register and pay for all the attendees at one time. How can I set up an environment that allows one person to pay for a group of individuals and also captures the names of the other people attending?

The Acteva system allows you to do this a few ways.

I always need to send special instructions to people attending my events. It may be driving instructions, recommended attire, etc. Can I use Acteva to automatically provide customers with this special information about each event?

You certainly can set this up as an automatic process within Acteva.

Welcome to the latest issue of Event Organizers eJournal — the newsletter that focuses on helping event organizers, planners and producers increase attendance, delight attendees and make more money at their events.

This month, we have a very special feature article written by Ruth P. Stevens, the author of Trade Show and Event Marketing. If you’re looking for more effective and profitable events, read what she has to say about strategic marketing approaches. This article is the first in a series by Ms. Stevens that we’ll be featuring every other month.

Thanks to all of you who sent in your best advice for a reader who was having trouble keeping her attendance numbers up. Our reader’s dilemma this month is one I hope you’ve never faced — a disruptive, demanding attendee. But if you have been in this kind of situation — or if you just have an opinion on how to handle someone like this — please write in and offer your advice. And check out our newsletter’s Best of the Web section for the links to some articles we think you’ll find most helpful.

Please note: We have revamped our newsletter somewhat. We are now listing some of the associations that are key to an event planner’s daily life. We will also be noting some events that will help you learn more about your industry, so you can conduct more successful events and meetings.

Please keep the feedback coming. We want to make our newsletter the publication you look forward to receiving each month.
