Why It’s Time for Festival Organizers to Break Up with Google Docs – 3 of 5

The Hidden Cost of “Free” Tools

Google Docs is great for sharing notes, making lists, and collaborating on the fly. But when it comes to managing a festival or large-scale event, those shared spreadsheets and color-coded tabs quickly turn into chaos.

If your team is still relying on Google Docs to handle vendors, schedules, volunteers, and sponsors, you’re not saving time—you’re spending it in all the wrong places.

3. Why Event Automation Beats Google Docs Every Time

The Problem

Google Docs wasn’t built for event management. It doesn’t integrate with your ticketing, payment, or communication systems, which means you’re stuck doing everything manually.

The Missed Opportunity

Every disconnection creates friction—missed deadlines, forgotten emails, outdated info. You’re spending your energy keeping systems in sync instead of improving your festival.

The Solution

Event Essentials connects everything—registration, ticketing, payments, vendor management, and communication—in one place.
When one element updates, everything else follows automatically. It’s real automation for real event professionals.
