According to the Association for Talent Development (ATD), companies that offer comprehensive training programs have 218% higher income per employee than companies without formalized training and they also enjoy a 24% higher profit margin than those who spend less on training.
No wonder companies are increasingly focusing more on training programs for their employees. Whether you manage online training programs or multi-day retreats, using an event management platform can help you plan your events more efficiently, while keeping track of event performance over time.
Types of TRAINING PROGRAMs
Training events can take different formats for each organization. From product training to continued education, each training session will have specific requirements in terms of event planning and management. Here are some types of training events that are supported by Attendease:
- Online live training sessions
- On-demand video training
- Company retreats
- Recurring training sessions
- Lunch and Learns
- Single day or multi-day training sessions
DEFINING EVENT REQUIREMENTS
Regardless of the format of the training session you are planning, you should know your event requirements in order to find the right solution for your event management needs. While you will likely want to have a public landing page or event website for a large conference, you may want to keep your internal events private, so only employees can see your event details. Moreover, you may want to invite only a segment of your employees, and make the training session only visible for that group. Each different event type has unique requirements and might beg you to answer some these questions:
- Do I want people to register, and track who registered for the event?
- How important is it to have a well designed landing page to attract people to register?
- Is this a private event for specific teams or available to all staff?
- Do I want this event to be seen and visible to all staff?
- Will there be speakers for this event?
- How much interaction do I want with my audience during the meeting or event?
- Is an online event or live in-person event best for my objectives?
There are many more questions you may need to ask, however, the answers to these questions will lead to how you leverage and execute your event using event technology. The components needed for training events may differ from those of external events, as the meetings are quite different in nature.

“For our January 2017 Training Meetings we chose to work with Attendease and created 2 Meeting Websites. Overall the look and feel was on brand and it was very user friendly from our attendee perspective. The Customer Support was outstanding and I say this as we had many customization requests and this posed challenging for my team but due to the excellent customer service we received all the customization was actualized which made me very happy. I look forward to using Attendease for future meetings.”
