The challenge

While organizing events with Grenadine Event Software, COS must keep their data from previous years for future reference and usage. Before using Grenadine, the COS team had to use different software for almost all of their different types of data (speakers, sessions, registration, payment gateway, etc.). Now, Grenadine allows them to access their data through one software.

Approach

  • Speaker database and more: COS can now rely on Grenadine to store and consult all the data of their scientific events such as: sessions, talks, speakers, board meetings, sponsors and exhibitors, and more. The use of one software over many provides more efficiency for the COS team. It also allows COS to keep records and update them quickly and easily.
  • Customize Event Website for targeted audience: COS’s needs are specific for the Website content. In addition to the pre-built pages that Grenadine offers, they have the possibility to create customized pages allowing them to present more event information, accommodations, travel information, tourist guides, sponsorship and exhibitors. This customizing opportunity allows them to follow the market’s evolution.

Results
