How Glide Apps are Revolutionizing Event Management
Organizing an event is a bit like conducting a symphony.
There are countless moving parts, each demanding attention and precision. People are excited, enthralled, and paying attention to every individual piece while also appreciating the final product.
For years, event planners and organizers have leaned on traditional software to manage these intricacies. But often, these tools feel like relics from a bygone era, not quite fitting the dynamic needs of modern events.
Digital tools, especially Glide Apps, are stepping up. Glide isn’t just another software; Glide apps are solutions crafted for today’s event challenges.
In this article, I’ll discuss how to use Glide to more effectively manage events, and my personal experience with using the tool to help an event that sold over 20,000 tickets.
How Glide Apps are Making a Difference in Event Management
Existing Challenges in Event Management
Managing an event comes with its hurdles. From coordinating with vendors to ensuring attendees have a seamless experience, the task list is simply never-ending. There are logistics issues, such as juggling vendors, schedules, venues, and people. Communication is a must to successfully keep everyone in the loop as changes occur and the event draws near.
Not only that, but event management is total data overload. From attendee info to feedback to inventory to itineraries, you can end up with a mountain of data.
And usually, all of this is happening on a tight and limited budget. So, what can be done?

How I’ve Personally Used Glide for Events
I once worked with the PGA on a project for the Ryder Cup. They had a significant challenge: managing thousands of tickets for seats. Their current system was atrocious–they used pen and paper to manage an event with over 20,000 attendees.
With Glide, I was able to build the “Seat Saver” app for them to help with their event management. Here's what happened:
22,000 Seats Saved: Fans could easily secure their spot and their tickets.
Grandstand Management: I enabled real-time tracking across 7 locations.
User-Friendly: It was easy for both volunteers and fans to use.
Data Insights: The app gave PGA a new perspective on how to plan for future events.
Glide was able to turn the PGA’s Ryder Cup from a logistical nightmare to a logistical success. With their app, they can continue to host large events while cutting down on inefficient paper usage and keeping in contact with one another.
