does anyone have a solution they love for booking appointment slots at an event (e.g. office hours where people can book a 20 minute slot, or headshots where someone can book one of five availabilities in a given time slot)?

everything i’ve experimented with is pretty clunky for this use case. whether it’s something more meetings-focused like calendly or doodle or something more services-focused like setmore or picktime, they’re all more suited to showing ongoing availability rather than something one-time.

any great options that i’m missing?

Looking for a DMC/event production company recommendation to help me with the following (*highly ambitious) project: Company kick off event (2-3 day offsite, local + intl travel from Chile) for 1200 people in Jan 2024. Our CFO wants to see 3 budget scenarios for an event in Vegas, SF and 1 other location (Florida or Arizona) by EOW. Recognizing it's not realistic to pull detailed quotes & availability by then, but would love to provide a ballpark p/person estimate at least. Thank you!

Hello! I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for event management platforms or solutions they currently use and find effective. Currently, we utilize SplashThat, but we're in need of a meeting booking tool to streamline space management onsite. Specifically, we're seeking a tool that enables both our team and the sales team to efficiently oversee multiple meeting spaces during events, beyond what Calendly offers.

For instance, we envision a calendar-like booking system where sales team members can easily identify available meeting spaces during their scheduled meetings, similar to Outlook's meeting booking feature, but accessible to all stakeholders. It's important for both marketers and myself to have backend access for internal management. Currently, we're considering GTHR, but I'm open to any recommendations!! TYSM
