Driving Event Success Through Smart Pre-Event Engagement

How EventConnect helped TAFE transform event bookings into an engaging 7-day journey

OVERVIEW

What is EventConnect?

EventConnect is a customer engagement platform designed to transform the pre-event experience. Unlike traditional event management apps that stop at bookings and reminders, EventConnect actively keeps attendees engaged in the days leading up to the event through personalized daily interactions, educational content, and gamification.

The TAFE Success Story

Our client, TAFE, used EventConnect to enhance their event experience, transforming long waiting periods into an exciting, educational journey. The platform delivered a 7-day pre-event engagement program that kept attendees informed, excited, and prepared for their event.

The Business Challenge

The Problem

Many customers book events well in advance. During this gap:

  • Interest gradually fades
  • Events are forgotten
  • Customers arrive unprepared
  • No-show rates increase

The Goal

  • Keep the event top-of-mind
  • Educate customers before they arrive
  • Build excitement instead of silence
  • Reduce last-minute drop-offs

The Solution

7-Day Pre-Event Engagement Program

EventConnect introduced a 7-day countdown engagement experience for TAFE that begins automatically once a user's event booking is approved. Instead of passive reminders, users receive daily value-driven interactions combining learning, gamification, and rewards.

Day 7
Booking Confirmation

Event booking confirmed. Anticipation begins.

Days 6-1

Measurable Business Outcomes

Conclusion

The pre-event engagement program proves that events don't start on event day—they start at booking.

By thoughtfully combining daily learning, light gamification, and rewards, EventConnect ensures that every customer arrives informed, engaged, confident, and excited.
