Effective event management depends on clear processes and centralized visibility. Resource Centers or otherwise known as Portals in RainFocus consolidate tasks, communications, and assets into a single source of truth, giving teams the control and transparency needed to execute complex events reliably.
Mike Kemp, Manager, Event Technology Solutions at Nth Degree Events, explains how Resource Centers or Portals in RainFocus provide clarity and structure to even the most complex event workflows. With one centralized platform, speakers, sponsors, internal teams, and attendees remain aligned without the need for constant follow-up.
From onboarding exhibitors and collecting speaker materials to managing specialized programs such as student scholarships, Resource Centers streamline communication and track progress in real time. A Resource Center built to manage the RSAC Security Scholar program—covering travel logistics, reimbursements, and curated experiences for college students earned unanimous praise from participants.
By implementing Resource Centers, organizations reduce email overload, improve coordination, and consistently meet deadlines.
