Default Event Planning Software
Hello,

Can anyone recommend a low cost or free event planning software? I need the following features in one software to keep all events organized:

Calendar
Event Setup
Contacts
Registration
Travel
Budget
Finance
Booths

I found a software online that has all of the listed features, but the cost is $4000.00.

Thanks

cwilliams

if you have that microsoft program I think its something access ... here is the link http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/default.aspx it has all types of database and planning tools. You might want to also check Office Depot for those CD software they have that are like 3 for $20. They might have something useful.

Have you looked at EventBrite.com? It has most of the features you mentioned and you are only charged if there is a ticket price - otherwise all features are free.

For years I was looking for something like you describe. I think I ended up downloading and tweaking a database template from Microsoft Access. It's probably even cheaper to have someone create a custom database in Access than to purchase an expensive event management program. There is a guy at www.etsy.com that creates customized Access databases VERY cheaply. If you'd like, I can find his info. Just send me a private message.
