For me, it’s all about that data.
Without attendees you wouldn't have an event.
Attendees are the most important part of an event and collecting attendee information is one of the most important pieces of event execution. If you're not asking the right questions, you won't have the right information to successfully run your event. If you don't have a great user experience when collecting this information, your chances of a successful registration are significantly decreased and your event will not be off to a great start. I am passionate in providing clients with the best registration process in order to execute successful events and programs. See the Services section for more information.
ABOUT ME
Kayleen Van Gelder
Resume
I have over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry where I began as a hotel front desk agent and later changed my focus to meeting planning. However, after working as a registration and housing specialist since 2011, I discovered my passion for event data and how to better utilize registration processes for successful event execution.
I have designed/implemented registration processes, websites, and timelines for over 300 registration sites using Aventri registration software with the most complex event involving 4,000+ global attendees, 23 languages, with planning teams from 14 countries.
I have used various registration software over the years, such as Eventbrite and RegOnline, and most extensively Sotva (Aventri), but I am also Cvent certified.
I have provided onsite support for over 70 events while executing various roles as outlined below:
-
Onsite Registration Check-in
-
Hotel Room Block Management
-
Arrivals & Departure Data Management
-
Event App Implementation
The PDF below provides a summary of the highlights of my onsite support experience. For additional career experience, please see my LinkedIn.
