Hey

Starting this week, we’re sharing a bit more from inside Gevme. A regular log of what's new, where we’ve been, and the stories that don’t always get told, but make the difference. Thanks for being part of the ride. 🚀

• On the Ground: Catch us at Global-City Singapore and Singapore MICE Forum

• What's new in Gevme: Change of plans? Transfer a ticket

• Success Story: How GovInsider successfully ran a multi-track 1200-person event w/ Gevme

• In the News: Planners embed sustainability into event decisions

On the Ground 🎪

Trade, tech, and transformation are front and centre as Global-City Singapore: SG60 and Beyond kicks off. Snapsight’s live across the pre-conference, surfacing key ideas and themes in real time—so it’s easier to keep track of what’s unfolding as it happens.

Next up: Singapore MICE Forum.

Not everything’s working, and SMF is where the industry gets honest. From 23 to 25 July, the events community comes together to talk talent, tech, and what needs to change.

We’ll be there too, tracking the conversations that move the industry forward.

What's New ✨

Ticket Transfer (without the hassle)

There’s nothing fun about scrambling to fix attendee info, especially when someone can’t make it and asks you to “just pass the ticket to my colleague.”

Now you can.

The new organiser transfer lets you do it directly in the attendee grid.

You just select the person, enter the replacement’s name and email, and the system does the rest:

• Cancels the old ticket
• Creates a new one
• Logs the change for your records

It’s fast, accurate, and doesn’t mess with check-in data.

A small update that saves a lot of awkward workarounds.

Partner Spotlight 🤝

GovInsider had 1,200 people walking through the doors, multiple sessions running at once, and one big goal: keep everything moving while making sure no one missed the moments that mattered, even if they couldn’t be in the room.

Gevme handled the onsite setup – touchless kiosks, assisted counters, real-time session tracking, and badge printing without delays. Exhibitors scanned leads straight from the floor.

Meanwhile, Snapsight captured what was being said in every session and turned it into usable summaries and takeaways, ready while the event was still running.

The full story’s worth a read if you’ve ever juggled sessions, missed key moments, or spent days trying to piece things together after an event.

In the News 🗞️

Planners Push Sustainability Beyond the Buzzwords

Swag, F&B, and sourcing practices are all under the microscope as planners bring personal values into their event decisions.

Fast fashion giveaways and one-off plastic items are being replaced with longer-lasting, lower-impact alternatives. Chicago-based Joycoast now plants a tree for every FSC-certified wood gift sent to delegates.

On the catering side, IMEX’s Tahira Endean says the shift is driven by FLOSS – fresh, local, organic, seasonal, sustainable. IMEX America is reducing beef, working with local bakers, and adjusting menus based on water and carbon intensity.

Inclusivity is part of the shift too. Fiona Nieman of Indaba Events avoids red meat and pork entirely, citing both values and dietary concerns. Others are demanding traceability, with menus now including sourcing details – including where and how seafood was caught.

The move signals a deeper shift: sustainability isn’t being outsourced. It’s being designed into events – deliberately, and early.

Expect the unexpected, but not at your event.

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