Guides for the people who run events

Behind every event is a human with a spreadsheet, a radio, and a door list. These guides are for that person.

We helped run conferences for 15 years before we built Eventrise, and most of what we know came the hard way: the night the numbers did not work, the payout that landed after the vendors were due, the seat map that took four tries. The guides below are that experience written down, with the math shown.

They are organized the way an event actually happens. Plan it and find the P&L. Fund it before the doors open. Build the room and run the show. Sell it out. Pick the platform that will not fight you.

Each guide ends with a short section on how we do it, and that is the only place we talk about ourselves.
