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.
4. Keep Your Festival Data Safe and Under Control
The Problem
Google Docs’ “Anyone with the link” sharing might be convenient—but it’s not secure. One wrong click can expose private vendor contracts or financials.
The Risk
When data is public or editable by anyone, mistakes and leaks are bound to happen—especially during festival season when dozens of collaborators are involved.
The Solution
Event Essentials uses role-based access control, so each user—vendor, sponsor, volunteer, or admin—only sees what they need.
No accidental edits, no data leaks, and no confusion.
