Eureka! Colloquium Numbr is a winner at IMEX Awards!

Reviewing a budget on a regular basis is a key tool in managing an event… but it is time-consuming. From budget creation to the closing process, Colloquium Numbr assists the project manager in each step of the budget. It can just select a budget template (preloaded or customised) and start to manage its budget by following Colloquium Numbr advice. At any time, Colloquium Numbr will calculate an accurate evaluation of income and expenses in order to help the project manager to make good decisions. Colloquium Numbr also assists the project manager in selecting suppliers, specifying its needs and analysing proposals. Once it has made its decision, you validate the offer and Colloquium Numbr will automatically update its budget accordingly.”

At the IMEX Gala 2019 in Frankfurt last month, Christophe Painvin received the IAPCO Innovation Award, supported by IMEX, on behalf of winner Elvire de Chalus, Colloquium, for her development of Colloquium Numbr! The Innovation Award is part of IAPCO’s programme of Driving Excellence Awards and is designed to celebrate an innovative achievement by a young member of the team.

“We started working on Colloquium Numbr after a simple observation: knowing how to manage an event

budget is one of our main key assets as event professionals. The way you draw up a budget will influence the whole event organisation. As a PCO, we were looking for a digital tool that would allow us to monitor our events’ budget and our events’ data. Although we receive tons of emails about new event tools every day, none of them matched our needs. Most are mainly about either registrations or marketing, which is only a part of our work and so we decided to create our own tool: “Colloquium Numbr”.

Sezen Elagoz, of Kenes Group, was a close finalist, with her Innovation of providing the solution to too many participants in a restricted venue, when moving location was not an option.
