EEF Updates New member tags at EventExpertForum.com - let others know what you do

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

Good afternoon,

I have added a range of new user groups at EventExpertForum.com. You’ll see them as coloured tags beneath members’ names, giving you a quick idea of what they do in the events industry.

Sample:

Tags include Event Organizer, Event Platform, Venue, AV Company, Caterer, Marketing Agency, Speaker and plenty more covering the people and businesses involved in putting events together.

When you’re reading a reply, it helps to know a little about the person behind it. Are they speaking from experience running a venue, organising conferences, supplying equipment or building a ticketing platform? These tags give that bit of context without everyone having to introduce themselves in every thread.

They should also make it easier to find each other for business. Someone reading your advice today might need your services for their next event.

Would you like a tag on your profile?

No problem at all!

Please contact us privately through the Contact Staff form. Tell us what you do, which tag you’d like and, where relevant, the company you represent. A website link would be helpful too.

Your request will only be visible to you, our moderators and administrators.

If you’re unsure which tag fits, just explain your work and we’ll help you choose. And if we’ve missed your part of the industry, let us know - we can consider an additional group.
