Introducing A Smartphone App for Event Professionals & Enthusiasts

Event specialist, Cheryl Lawson has launched The Event Planning Tools App for Android powered smartphones.




The Event Planning Tools app is actually two aps in one.

1. Meeting Space Calculator allows you to quickly determine how many people will fit into a particular venue or meeting space based on your layout.

2. Meeting budget is a quick way to keep track of your event expenses and will calculate cost per attendee at the click of a button.

While these tools are not new, (we used to have to do the math) I felt that having a quick reference on your mobile phone would be a cool tool to have.

Alot of people are out there planning their own weddings, events and meetings, so I thought to myself, what tools would I want at my fingertips?


For the event enthusiasts:
a. These calculators will help to keep you from making that one more purchase while you’re out shopping for décor.

b. If you’re not sure how many people to invite to your event, these tools can help you make those decisions.

c. Knowing the impact on the bottom line of one more flower arrangement can be a very valuable tool.



For my fellow event pros:
a. If you're like me, you probably size up every venue you enter. Restaurant, chapel, or grocery store, I'm constantly thinking of how many people I can fit into a space.




b. If you plug in how baggage fees are affecting your staff travel expenses, you might not send the whole crew on the Vegas "site visit". (Sorry crew, it's expensive)

c. This app can be a quick guide to further your guru status on the spot!



Why Android?


The first and most obvious reason, is that I own a Android phone (G1) and secondly, I really like the notion of open sourced content. The idea that everyone can contribute great ideas if given the opportunity.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against the iphone; I simply made a choice to start with Android phones.

Future Versions?
There will be future versions of this app based on feedback from users.

From your Android powered phone visit the market and search Event Planning Tools, It's only .99 cents.
