Acteva's Assignment Center Streamlines Event Planning by Simplifying Seating and Group Assignments


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - December 3, 2008) - Acteva, the leader in online event registration, ticketing and payment management services, announced today the launch of Assignment Center, a new product feature that simplifies and streamlines the time consuming and detail intensive task of seating, housing and group assignments for event planners. Assignment Center is the ideal organization solution for parties, galas, fundraisers, campus conferences, corporate events and training or any event that calls for the strategic grouping of people for socializing or networking purposes. Assignment Center is fully integrated into Acteva's product providing the most easy-to-use and easy-to-execute, complete event planning solution available in the market.

With Acteva Assignment Center an event organizer can easily assign attendees to a specific banquet table, a golf foursome, a housing assignment, a tour bus or a networking group with the same service they use to handle event registration, ticketing, payment and promotion. This simple solution allows event organizers to plan group assignments down to the smallest detail including the number and size of tables or groups and then associate booking options for each one. Event attendees may then have the option to purchase a ticket or a seat for a particular table or group or sponsor an entire VIP table or group, for example. With Assignment Center, event attendees who buy or sponsor an entire group have access to their own reservation page to manage their guest information.

"We hear time and time again from our customers that proper seating and group assignments are critical components of successful event planning and they can also be a real headache," said Ed Lemire, Executive Vice President, Acteva. "With one simple solution, Acteva helps event planners organize an event, promote it for maximum attendance and, with Assignment Center, ensures attendees are exactly where they should be in order for it to be a success."
