&lt;p&gt;I’m also curious, where do you all see the biggest time savings from automation? Is it on the attendee side (reminders, check-ins, comms) or more behind the scenes with vendor contracts, approvals, and internal workflows? Feels like both matter, but I wonder which actually moves the needle most.&lt;/p&gt;

The biggest time savings came for us from attendee-side automation. Things like confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups used to take a lot of manual effort. Once those were automated, the team had more time to focus on execution instead of coordination.

One thing we learned the hard way is that automation only works if the underlying process is clear. When our workflows weren’t well-defined, adding automation actually made things more complicated instead of saving time.

&lt;p&gt;One important aspect we overlooked early on is behind-the-scenes automation, including tasks, approvals, and vendor coordination. Even though it is less visible, it is just as important as attendee-facing automation, so it needs to be executed just as well.&lt;/p&gt;

monday and ClickUp are great if you want to build your own workflows, but they still require setup and maintenance. They automate tasks well, but you’re responsible for designing the system. That’s flexible, but not always the fastest path.
