If you think your event software is just there to sell tickets then you’re leaving serious growth (and sanity) on the table.

This week, Host Megan Martin sits down with Cat McDevitt, VP of Marketing at Eventeny. She’s also a recognized speaker, strategist, and champion for event organizers who want less chaos and more control.

From sponsorships that actually sell to the hidden ways your tech can save hours (and your team’s nerves), Cat reveals how smarter tools can take your event from “chaotic scramble” to “scalable success.” 

She also shares the trends she’s seeing across thousands of events on Eventeny’s platform—and the small tweaks that separate the good from the truly unforgettable.
