Eventival

## What is Eventival?

Eventival is the world's most widely used, flexible and sophisticated film data management platform, used mostly by film festivals but also by film centres, awards and other cultural organisations. Besides its key role as an organisation's central database, Eventival has something to offer at every stage of planning and production, whether it's collecting, reviewing and selecting film entries, creating film schedules, inviting guests, arranging their travel and accommodations, organising industry events, publishing Who is Here lists, handling accompanying events and publishing all relevant information. Eventival offers endless possibilities in terms of obtaining, modifying, searching, importing and exporting data, sending mass mails and handling daily office tasks. In short, it's the perfect replacement of databases previously kept in spreadsheets.

We’ve been using Eventival since 2015 and couldn't have made a better choice. Eventival allows us to contact our network (alumni, decision makers, partners, etc.), receive and assess applications for our programmes, and share information about our upcoming workshops with participants. Our Hospitality Office uses the Guest Services module to send and monitor invitations to our events. Finally, Eventival is synchronised with the TFL website: we can publish the lists of selected participants or information about projects and films by retrieving the information directly from their Eventival record.

Pros

Although we are not a festival but a training organisation with a co-production market, we could easily customise its features to our needs. With Eventival we are able to comprehensively manage all our activities: from the application process (project submissions, reviews, selection phases) to the organisation of hospitality ; from targeted mailings to invitations to events. Eventival's flexible and easily customisable features can be adapted to suit a wide rage of specific needs: for example, we have recently implemented a way to track the progress of our projects which helps us monitor their development status. Eventival's staff and support are also fantastic: fast, efficient and always ready to listen to your needs.

Cons

Most of our staff have been working with Eventival for many years so we are used to it but I can imagine it can be daunting at first for someone starting out. The training offered by the Eventival team is much appreciated and useful. Also for refreshing and/or learning newly implemented features.

Pros

We use Eventival after some editions of our film festival and film market. Our knowledge about the platform is improving each year thanks to the awesome support and training from Eventival. Despite the huge amount of possibilities of Eventival, you can use only the tools you need. A little training in the team is enough to start working with it and discover new ways to take the most of Eventival.

Cons

You can use all the functions from your smartphone but the mobile interface could be improved. Sometimes, with a little screen, you cannot surf in the proper way.

Great team, which aims in making working processes better step by step. The fact that Eventival has many international festivals as clients it is a great way to network and to get to know other festival organizers as well.

Pros

It is super easy to start working with Eventival due to the fact that it is web based so you don't need to install a software. The staff is constantly working on improving the software and offers great individual training sessions, the support is always very quick in replying and solving problems. In addition to that, the Eventival team really insists of feedback from their clients in order to improve the software and to see the working steps from the perspective of their users.

Cons

Due to the fact that Eventival is a software for many users the developpers cannot customize it - but they try to do that as good as possible. If you have a special function in mind they ask other customers/festivals if they would also need this tool.

It takes some time to tame the beast and once you master it, it is a pleasure to use Eventival. Eventival eases process in the organisation of a festival.

Pros

We like that Eventival was built especially for film festivals. Connections between various modules are great. Eventival allows us to follow the complete journey of a film: from applications, to the film selection, from the guest invitations to badge edition, from event scheduling to connection with our ticketing system.

Cons

Connections with other softwares is possible through export but a real API lacks.

Reasons for choosing Eventival

Eventival had more customization options.

Once you learn to work with it, you can't imagine missing its functionalities.

Pros

It can do everything you want and more than you'll probably ever need from a festival management tool.

Cons

It has a high learning curve. Whenever you don't know where to find something or how to do something you better ask the support team through the very responsive support chat. You could spend days looking for something and never find it, since there are so many possibilities, tools and functions.

Reasons for choosing Eventival

Eventival has a high learning curve but seemed at least at the moment further ahead than the competition. Almost monthly updates make for a satisfying and positive experience. Since we chose for Eventival we never had to look back or wonder about other festival management tools. It only gets easier as they keep improving the backoffice.

Overall we are saving a lot of time and eventival helped us optimize our workflow. The system is very reliable. Also the fact that eventival is bowser-based helped us navigate the pandemic in home office.

Pros

Eventival combines most of the workflows needed to plan a film festival in one tool, which makes organization easier.The query/advanced search option, its export as well as the email templates help us in various fields, from invitations to marketing campaigns. Furthermore, a lot of workflows – e.g. the film scheduling option and the accreditation process – have been simplified by using Eventival and are more time efficient. Finally, the support team of Eventival is always on call, in addition, they are eager to make sure that the festivals needs are fulfilled, and seem very involved.

Cons

The interface is very detailed and has a lot of functions and options. Even though this has gotten better after the last relaunch, there still are plenty of fields we dont use, which does not make it very user friendly, especially for new staff that has never worked with Eventival before. Therefore, the training of new workers for the back office is very time consuming. Festivals typically have a high fluctuation of interns, freelancers, etc. Training remains an issue. Additionally, the visitor page is not mobile friendly, and can at times also be a bit complicated for guests to use. The licensing fees can be a little expensive for smaller festivals.

The overall experience is very positive! It is a blessing to search for a guest and have all the info about their arrival, departure, hotel and activities well organized. When you update the info / schedule, it automatically updates that info to all the involved guests agenda or warns you about overlap / unavailability issues. It's perfect! Also, that typo on a guest name? It is now on our website, app and guest info accreditation. Just correct it and it will automatially update on every site! No need to correct it in all the sites where it is written!

Pros

It is a great app to manage the 3 most detailed and complex areas of a film festival: - films and scheduling - guests - communication / information After all is set up, guests, films and its info are all connected and makes it easy to manage all the info related to these areas, especially when it comes to crossed information.

Cons

The learning process is slow and not immediate, interface is not organized in the best user friendly way. It is a bit difficutl to get used to the software.

Film submission, film selection screenings and scheduling can be done effortlessly using the customisable features.

Cons

Pros

With Eventival have control and the notion of everything that is happening in the festival, I can organize the festival with more agility and in a more professional way. Inside the platform there is basically a tool for everything. It was clearly created by people who understand film festivals. One of the best things is that with Eventival I can have contact with my guests and my team, include events, travel, and lodging in their schedules, and that's great.

Cons

The system is quite large and quite complex, so it takes time for the staff to learn how to deal with the platform; it is not so intuitive, a training is needed. But this is a reflection of how complete on all fronts the Eventival is. And after all organising and running a film festival is also something big and complex.

Reasons for choosing Eventival

The level of professionalism and all the features that comes with software.
