• Free templates to make your confirmation emails pop (Download now)

• Why scattered event data is holding you back (and how to fix it)

• SHE just became community-driven — what that means for you

Got the data but not the story? 🧩

🧠 For event teams drowning in data but starving for insight
If you're juggling spreadsheets from five platforms and still can’t answer simple questions like “Which sessions worked?” or “Did attendees actually network?”—this one’s for you.

Because having data isn’t the problem. Disconnected data is.

In this week’s read, we break down:

• Why most event analytics fall short

• What really matters when tracking attendee journeys

• How to stop guessing and start seeing the full picture—live, as the event happens

Not a rant about dashboards, but a smarter way to think about your next event.

Your first touchpoint deserves better 📤

You nailed the landing page. But your confirmation email? Yikes.
It’s the first thing every attendee sees—and most teams still send the default.

Cold. Boring. Easy to ignore.

That “You’re in!” moment should feel human, clear, and worth showing up for.

So we pulled together 30+ plug-and-play templates—different tones, formats, all easy to tweak.

Because that first email shouldn’t feel like an afterthought.

Make your confirmation emails the moment people remember—not the one you forgot.

Gevme in the headlines 📰

♻️ Want to run greener events but stuck on the “how”?
You’re not alone. Most teams care about sustainability—but let’s be real: the tools are scattered, and the advice is vague.

That’s why Gevme, NZCE, and the Strategic Alliance built on SHE—turning it into a collaborative, community-powered resource for event sustainability.

An AI-powered platform made for real-world event teams, not just policy docs.

✅ Role-based tips (for planners, ops, suppliers)
✅ Smart tools (like real-time carbon impact)
✅ Practical, usable steps

It’s free. It evolves. And you can contribute too.

Event Tech Trivia 🤔

Did you know the first-ever commercial video conferencing service launched way back in 1970?

AT&T’s Picturephone made history by connecting the Mayor of Pittsburgh with a corporate CEO — a face-to-face call showing the future of business communication, decades before Zoom or Teams existed.

It was a bold glimpse into what would eventually become the video meeting revolution we take for granted today.

Expect the unexpected, but not at your event.

Gevme turns “What if?” into “What’s next?”
