SE3: Technology in Special Events—Make the Technology Learn From You

Scott Becker
CEO , Trust Event Solutions
      For over 10 years Scott Becker has been advising and supporting the most prestigious and demanding events with easy to use technology solutions that simplify the complexity of event management. In 2000, Scott co-founded Powers Golf, a web-based event management software developer specializing in Golf Events and Banquets. After recently leaving Powers Golf, he founded Trust Event Solutions to bring together the most effective technology solutions and the best customer support available for the expanding needs of event management professionals. During his tenure at Powers, Scott designed Powers’ Event Management Solutions, a suite of customizable, flexible and functionally rich software solutions for easing the burdens of event management.
      In addition to bringing these solutions to market, Scott served as VP Sales & Marketing and Director of Customer Support. His dedication to his client’s success is a manifestation of his philosophy that true event partnerships start right at the beginning with the introduction and sale of the solution continuing on through the event and the post-event wrap-up.
      Scott has specialized in servicing events conducted by:

  • Not-for-Profit Organizations
  • PGA, LPGA & Champions Tours
  • Associations
  • Corporations
Working with Event Organizers
      Scott has experienced event management from almost every perspective, seeing the process through the eyes of a golf professional/tournament coordinator, of an active participant on a fundraising golf outing committee, and of a dedicated service provider to various PGA and LPGA Tour events. It is this broad event management experience and his personal commitment to his clients that has enabled Scott to build long lasting relationships with so many event coordinators, whom he proudly calls his partners and friends.
Corporate Sponsorship of Events
      During Scott’s time at Powers, as well as at his prior company, One-On-One with Greg Norman, owned and operated by Edge Technologies Group(formerly Visual Edge Systems), Scott was able to gain a strong and invaluable, deep understanding of the strict economic requirements surrounding corporate gifts/sponsorships. By using technology solutions, he has learned how to maximize brand awareness and sponsorship return through the sponsorship of fundraising events.

      Technology is now becoming more and more accepted as a “real need” in running special events rather than just an enhancement. However, it is impossible to apply the standard operating procedures associated with technology to special events, it just doesn’t work. This session will teach you how to make the software solution you chose fit the way you currently run your events rather than requiring you to change your event management structure to fit the technology.
