Event Planning

Event planning is making moments happen whether that is a campus pop-up, a worship night, or a pitch competition. On Georim, planning means defining your event’s purpose, shaping the experience, and using our tools to keep things organized from RSVPs to check-ins.

Start With The Basics

  • Purpose (Why?) – Are you hosting to launch, celebrate, or fundraise?
  • People (Who?) – Who’s your audience? Students, community, sponsors?
  • Proof (How do you know it worked?) – Think check-ins, poll results, or feedback you can track right in Georim.

Choose Your Format

  • In-person: energy, people, and geofenced check-ins.
  • Virtual: reach and accessibility (share links right in Georim).
  • Hybrid: let attendees choose how they join.

Estimate size early—whether it is 50 friends at a mixer or 300 at a conference—so you set the right tone and budget.

Keep Budget Simple

On Georim, focus on the big stuff:

  • Venue
  • Food & drinks
  • Promo (flyers, social posts, boosted ads)
  • Helpers/volunteers

💡 Tip: Lock in your top three costs early (venue, AV, food).

Venue & Setup

Walk your own event journey: from entrance → check-in → main activity → exit. On Georim, you can pin the location, share directions, and make arrival smoother.

Branding the Experience

Your Georim event space is your brand. Use:

  • A clear theme/title
  • Strong visuals (poster or logo)
  • Little touches (countdown posts, recap highlights)

People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.

Registration & Check-in

  • Keep sign-up short (Name, Email, Role).
  • Automated reminders go out through Georim.
  • At the event, guests just tap check-in when they’re inside the geofence.

Build a Simple Agenda

List out: Start time → Key sessions → Breaks → Wrap-up.

Post the schedule on your Georim event page so everyone’s aligned.

Spreading the Word

  • On Georim: post teasers, updates, or behind-the-scenes.
  • Social: share your Georim link with groups.
  • Partners: give them ready-to-post graphics.
