Event Concerns and Solutions

Should event organisers monitor social media during and after a live event and what tools can they use to help them?

Yes, event organisers should monitor social media during and after a live event. Social media monitoring can provide valuable feedback about attendees’ experiences, as well as insights into how the event was perceived by the broader public. Here are some tools that can help event organisers monitor social media:

• Social listening tools: These tools allow event organisers to track mentions of their event or brand on social media. Some popular social listening tools include Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Mention.
• Hashtag tracking tools: Hashtags are a popular way for event attendees to share their experiences on social media. Hashtag tracking tools allow event organisers to track and analyse the usage of specific hashtags related to their event. Some popular hashtag tracking tools include Hashtagify and RiteTag.
• Real-time analytics tools: Real-time analytics tools can help event organisers track engagement and reach in real-time. For example, Facebook Insights and Twitter Analytics both offer real-time tracking of engagement metrics.
• Reputation management tools: Reputation management tools can help event organisers monitor and respond to negative feedback or reviews on social media. Some popular reputation management tools include Brand24 and Yotpo.

By using these tools, event organisers can stay on top of social media conversations related to their event, respond to feedback in real-time, and gain valuable insights into attendee experiences. 

This can help to improve future events and refine social media strategies. Additionally, the Gyder.app can be used to collect feedback from attendees and track social media mentions of the event, which can be used to improve future events and refine social media strategies.

What are event organisers’ key concerns ahead of a live event and how can Gyder.app help?
