EventSpace.com - Event Planning And Business Directory

The recently launched EventSpace is a listing site for event spaces and services nationwide. It’s essentially a business directory geared toward event planning. Planners, vendors and venue owners can freely aggregate their business to the site. Public events can be posted and guests can use the site’s tools to sign up. Event planners are given free tools to track and manage multiple events and to build a user database for marketing. Each listing features pricing, photos, square footage, capacity, and maps. Although booking cannot be made directly through the site, contact details are provided. Messaging services are also available. Additionally, users can create guest lists and send invitations.

“Event Space, a nationwide directory of venues, vendors and services, was created to help individuals, corporations and party planners find resources in the event industry by establishing trusted relationships with clients and each other. Event Space will introduce tiered features over the next twelve months that will enable clients with minimal experience to plan and execute successful events. It will provide a broad yet focused reach for event spaces, service providers and planners to acquire new clientele through Event Networking and general use. Additionally, it will offer event planners and individuals a centralized area for event management and promotion.”

This is a well put together site. It’s got a strong suite of features at a very affordable price--$0. Event planners could use this to expand their clientele and to facilitate planning.

Will this site be able to attract users and build up a substantial user base? How is it being advertised? Will it always remain free?
