Word­Press Event Man­age­ment Plu­g­ins To Con­trol All As­pects Of An Event

If you have worked with events be­fore you un­der­stand how hec­tic stuff can be.

Every­thing seems to get out of hand and com­pli­cated. To give up on the whole af­fair is very tempting.

There is a lot of mess to take care of, right from speak­ers, prices to more than one pay­ment op­tion and any­thing in between.

With­out easy and sys­tem­atic man­age­ment of all these im­por­tant things in an event you will waste a lot of time, lots of en­ergy and lose clients.

What you need is a plu­gin that can man­age every­thing on your be­half for an out­come your cus­tomers will be proud about. Here are a num­ber of event man­age­ment plu­g­ins you can look at.

Event Espresso

Of all the event man­age­ment plu­g­ins out there, Event Espresso is per­haps the best in the group. It has lots of cru­cial fea­tures you can try out in its free ver­sion, per­haps to look at all the things you can do with a pre­mium version.

Through the plu­gin, you have the chance to set up more than one event date and time, pro­mo­tions, dis­counts, mul­ti­ple prices, emails and lo­ca­tions. You can also cre­ate event posts au­to­mat­i­cally with a sup­port that takes care of all the pro­vided features.

Event Espresso al­lows you to con­trol all the dif­fer­ent ar­eas of your event on your own or just au­to­mate everything.

Espresso comes with an event cal­en­dar, venue man­ager ca­pa­ble of cus­tomiz­ing an event de­sign to look the way you want, events cat­e­go­rizer for or­ga­niz­ing every as­pect of the event, cus­tom post for broad­cast­ing an event, spam pro­tec­tion to choose who reg­is­ters for an event and mul­ti­ple pric­ing and ticket op­tions to help you set up flat sur­charges or op­tional per­cent­ages in your prices in­clud­ing var­i­ous ticket types.

Espresso also has short codes to help a man­ager adapt how the events are to be dis­played such as blog posts and pages.

WP Events

This event man­age­ment plu­gin has fea­tures al­most sim­i­lar to the Event Espresso with the dif­fer­ences largely in ad­di­tional in­te­gra­tions such as In­fu­sion­soft, So­cial and Groupon.

It is multi-site en­abled, and also of­fers a free ver­sion plus a num­ber of pre­mium plans.

Events Plan­ner

While this is a good plu­gin to man­age your events, it has lesser fea­tures and lim­ited cus­tomiza­tion op­por­tu­ni­ties com­pared to Espresso or WP events. It is also ex­pen­sive at $99 com­pared to the fea­tures it provides.

How­ever, users usu­ally love its fea­tures due to their ba­sic level ex­cel­lence and usability.

Event Plan­ner does not pro­vide so­cial integration.

Mod­ern Tribe

This plu­gin helps busi­nesses to man­age their events. It is har­mo­niously thought out with some re­ally good fea­tures and of­fers add-on op­por­tu­ni­ties that widen its usability.

The add-ons are quite un­usual and unique in con­trast with other plu­g­ins out there.

The Mod­ern Tribe also has fea­tures for so­cial in­te­gra­tion of an event, in­clud­ing a com­mu­nity add-on just in case.

Timely

This event man­age­ment plu­gin comes with a free ver­sion with am­i­ca­ble fea­tures you can use to pro­mote and cre­ate an event on a WP site. While its other fea­tures are not any­thing new, its so­cial me­dia in­te­gra­tion is worth talk­ing about.
