How to know who invited people to your event.
The most successful event hosts often ask participants who invited them to their event. And there's a reason why.
If you're an event host or Community Manager, you definitely have had to work with your team to make sure your events are filled to capacity. The most analytical ones among us go the extra mailed to keep track of everything damn thing. From budget to resources needed/used even as far as asking event participants who invited them to the event.
The reason is so you know which of your volunteers/community members are putting on the needed effort to rake people into your event. Let's call them evangelists (for the sake of this post).
Some times, these event hosts want to give out gifts to these evangelists, other times, they just want to keep note of them for the recognition. Sometimes it's so they know how to allocate leadership positions and how to spread resources similar to the pareto principle.
Whatever the reason maybe, the best and most successful event hosts often put out forms and surveys to participants and one of the things they want to keep track of is who invited these participants to their event.
Now if you're an event host and you want to make your next event a resounding success, you should do th same also. Lerida.xyz is an event management platform that does that (and more). The main reason we built Lerida was so we could know who the evangelists are in our own Communities.
It works very well, because as people register for our events, they select which of the previous participants invited them. So we all get to see a leaderboard for every event and we're able to know if "Smith" invited 6 people and if Laurie invited 12 or more.
This has proven to be very helpful for community managers and event hosts. So for your next event (whether it's simply a space on X or a full blown conference) you too should use Lerida for the registration. And the let us know how it helped you.
