Goodbye Boring Confirmation Emails 👋



Most event teams are juggling way too much, right from the start.


Budgets. Speakers. Tech setups. Landing pages. Internal reviews. Approvals. Catering. The twenty tabs open at all times. The constant "Is this final-final?"


And somewhere in that chaos, registration goes live.
People start signing up.
There’s a small exhale.


But in the middle of that rush, something small - and weirdly important - often slips by.


The confirmation email.


Not the invite. Not the reminders.

That one email that gets sent the second someone registers.

The one that quietly lands in their inbox and says, “Hey, thanks. You're in.”


It should be the first moment of clarity. Of energy. Of, “Glad I signed up.”
Instead, it’s usually something default, robotic, and forgettable.


And that’s a problem.


Because if that email feels cold, vague, or worse - generic - it doesn’t just look bad.
It makes your entire event feel less real. Less worth showing up for.


We’ve seen this happen too many times.
So we did something about it.


We created a guide with 30+ ready-to-use confirmation email templates - for all types of events, voices, and audiences. It also comes with subject lines that actually get opened (not just ones that sound good in theory).


You can copy, tweak, send - and finally make that first touchpoint work harder for you.


More clarity. More confidence. More people showing up.

Make your confirmation emails the part people remember - not the part you forgot.

Fresh Finds 🆕


The Great Event Hangover – by Iain Morrison


We plan every detail of the show. But what about the week after?


Iain reminds us that burnout in events doesn’t always look dramatic - it’s quiet, hidden, and often brushed off as “passion.” A thoughtful read for anyone still feeling the weight after the applause fades.

This Week's Event Tip 🍃


Rethink your lanyards

.


Most event lanyards get tossed right after the show. A simple fix? Use reusable lanyards with minimal or neutral branding. They can be repurposed across multiple events or shared with partners - less waste, less production, and one less thing in the bin after teardown.

Event Tech Trivia 🤔


The birth of instant replay and live event magic

The first-ever instant replay debuted in 1963 during the Army-Navy football game on CBS. It changed live event broadcasting forever, letting viewers relive key moments and shaping how we watch sports and events today.

Expect the unexpected, but not at your event.
