Qrious at Webvisions Conference in New York

Posted on by gadgetboy

I’ve been invited to give a talk about Qrious at the New York Webvisions conference during their Business Innovation and Education Lab on January 20th.

Brad Smith told us that the talk “should show the innovative direction and strategy for your products and/or services and how it stands out in the market space.”

I think we can do that.

I hope that you’ll join us.

Do some good, just by showing up

If you’re considering attendance, think about this: for every four people from your company that attend, you’ll be able to send a student from a New York City college to the event for FREE.

WP Event Ticketing: Free Conference and Event Registration Solution for WordPress

Posted on by gadgetboy

We just stumbled upon WP Event Ticketing from the good folks at 9Seeds.

If you produce a conference or event and are concerned about having complete customization of your registration pages or the incremental costs for each ticket that an event registration service may charge, this WordPress plugin may be for you.

All you need to get started is a hosted WordPress site and a PayPal account.

There will be a Pro version that will enable advanced features such as the ability to run multiple events at the same time. You can sign up for the 9Seeds newsletter to be notified when the Pro version is available, what additional features it may have and of course, the cost.

No word on whether there will be an API for third-party services. However, if you’d like to use WP Event Ticketing with Qrious, be sure to reach out and let us know.

Check out this video to see the WP Event Ticketing setup for yourself.
