EVENT BUDGETING

Get visibility and guidance throughout the budgeting process to ensure every dollar spent creates the highest value for your event.

Transparent budgeting process.

Budget is one of the most critical — and frustrating — pieces of the event puzzle.

You shouldn't have to wonder throughout the process whether you're going to go over budget.

You certainly shouldn't get surprise bills after your event.

You should feel confident that you know exactly how your budget is being spent and what your final bills will be.

GoGather helps you track spending to your budget with a more strategic and transparent process:
  • Collaborative budget creation process
  • Trusted vendors that adhere to a transparent billing process
  • 24/7 access to your event budget that is updated regularly
  • Communication throughout the planning process on any unexpected costs
  • Final bill reconciliation handled for you
  • Advocating on your behalf to ensure best use of budget

Your event budget dashboard.

During the budgeting process, you will receive a detailed budget tool to see each line item and associated budgeted, actual, and compared costs.

You have access to this dashboard 24/7, so there's no guessing about budget items.

Budget allocation.

There are a multitude of ways to slice a pie — and endless ways to divide your budget.

Our team will analyze each area (from A/V to venue to activity opportunities) to make sure your money is being spent in the best possible way.

This means having a deep understanding of your event goals, attendees, and business, so we can advise you on the best value for your event.

Valuable vendors.

GoGather works with trusted vendors to ensure not only that your event goes off without a hitch, but that all budget items are billed fairly. We work on your behalf to negotiate fees and find you better opportunities from your vendors.

Revenue and ROI tracking.

GoGather can help you identify best practices for ticket pricing, sponsorship packages, and other revenue streams. We will track all of that within your budget dashboard so you can see where your revenue and expenses stack up (and so you can report that ROI to leadership!).
