Planning an event is a sizeable undertaking, whether it’s a seminar, exhibition or any other kind of event. There are vendors, exhibitors, caterers and of course, attendees to keep track of, space to prepare (and possibly rent unless you plan to hold the event at your own facilities) and a million other things to take care of to make sure that it all goes as you’d planned when the big day arrives. It’s a lot of work and as capable as you are, you can use all the help you […]













If you were at home alone and not expecting visitors, would you fling the door open for anyone who knocked without first finding out who they were and why they were there? Of course you wouldn’t – it runs counter to all notions of common sense. While none of us would let just anyone off the street into our homes, many businesses do exactly that. To be fair, they may have a receptionist or a front desk clerk with a paper visitor log which visitors may be asked to sign […]













What’s the hardest part of being responsible for planning a major event like a seminar, trade show, exposition or convention? For many event planners, the biggest challenge they face in pulling off a successful event is keeping on top of the many smaller jobs which are part of this larger project. There are a lot of different things which need to be done to ensure that an event goes according to plan and keeping track of them all can be difficult.













Putting on a major corporate event is a big responsibility and with so much to arrange there is always a need for more sophisticated and easier to use organizational tools to help ease the task of event management. Other than the supplies needed for the event, keeping track of lists of attendees, seating charts and the many other considerations which are part of managing an event, people who are tasked with handling the preparations for an event need to keep track of their own staff as well as exhibitors and […]













If your business has a relatively large number of employees, you know that it can be difficult to keep track of everyone and where they are suppose to be. It is important to make sure only authorized employees are allowed to your secure facilities to prevent theft and corporate espionage. One of the best ways to identify employees is by issuing staff ID cards.













Security is something that every business has to keep in mind. Whether or not your business is considered to be at a higher risk of theft or other crimes, keeping your facilities and your employees safe and secure is an important concern. Thanks to new visitor management technology, it is easier than ever to ensure the security of your business.













Even though it will probably always be a challenge to put on an event and make sure that everything goes according to plan, it has become much easier now thanks to web based electronic visitor management tools. Visitor management software provides event planners with the tools needed to get things organized and keep everything progressing smoothly up to the day of the event.













Keeping on top of everyone who comes in and goes out of your company’s manufacturing plant, office building or campus can be a real challenge. Even though a lot of communication and business is done on the web, there are many things which still must be done in person – and that means visitors. Naturally, you want to welcome visitors to your facilities while making sure to keep yourself, your property and your employees secure by keeping out unwelcome “guests” – but the traditional methods are not quite up to […]













Access control is something that every business needs to consider as part of its overall strategy and no matter whether your company receives a lot of visitors or a relative few, whether your company is large or small, security should always be one of your top priorities. Increasingly, ID cards are part of any access control or visitor management system and this means choosing an ID card printer which meets the needs of your company.













There is no company which doesn’t consider their company facilities among their most valuable assets. As such, keeping their offices, manufacturing plant and other corporate facilities secure is of the highest importance – and many companies simply are not doing enough to make sure that they are protected from the threat of criminals, corporate espionage and identity thieves.













It’s a complaint which is if not exactly as old as time, definitely as old as contracting as a professional concept: overpaying contractors due to inefficient time tracking and management on the part of the contractor’s client. It may not be something that you spend a lot of time thinking about, but of course when the client in question happens to be your business, then it is a different kind of situation altogether. No one likes overpaying for the service they receive from a contractor – and as a business […]













What’s the secret to putting on a successful event? There are a lot of different opinions about this, ranging from choosing the right guest speakers or entertainers, having various educational or entertainment opportunities available – and some people will even tell you that having a successful event depends on the little things like catering and decoration. While these are all good answers, they’re also all wrong. The secret to a successful event is planning well and managing the preparations for the event effectively before, during and afterward. It’s really as […]
