Krowden, a software tool for event organizers, is proud to announce the rebranding of its former name, NetworkTables.com. The origin of the new name, Krowden, is “network” at the reverse, and its goal is to help event organizers engage and connect their crowds.

Event platforms are rising to the forefront, since the pandemic more attention has been turned to event platforms to handle increasingly more complicated event formats. The ones pulling ahead are those willing to harness the power of automation. Other like to stick with the manual approach, and it’s easy to understand why. Questions are still in the air about the benefits, impact on the event itself, and whether it’s more trouble than it’s worth.

The very first events of NetworkTables (now Krowden) started off as in-person events. It’s the basis of the name “NetworkTables”. Here we’ll cover how an in-person event works with our platform for an event with a 1on1 networking area.

Events can be fun, insightful or a team-building experience, but they’re not worth much if they’re not engaging.

How do you keep a clear overview of your guestlist and registrations? And more importantly, did you make sure to send the right mails to the invitees? These are all questions you might have asked yourself in the run-up to the event. Perhaps you have even wondered if there is a more efficient way of arranging the registration of and the communication surrounding your event. We know there is! After partnering with evisit, we have interviewed Tessa Rijnsburger (operational manager at evisit) regarding their software and services, which will support you during the entire process of hosting your event.

I still remember the time I first got in touch with Matthijs, There was back-and-forth communication for a while (I kept insisting) little did I know he was in the hospital due to a bike injury but yet somehow managed to get back to me! Now here I am at the end of my time with Krowden, and needless to say, it has been a great ride!

Video content is more popular than ever, it’s easy to watch and can be distributed in so many different ways. But is it easy to make? Not so much. Livestreaming and recording comes with a set of challenges that not everyone can expect.

The event industry’s landscape has faced quite a lot of changes in the last few years. What during the pandemic was a rapid move to virtual events has now settled into a hybrid middle-ground that is here to stay. Why would on-site events remain limited to one location when they can be accessed online by people from all over the world at a little extra cost?
