Host an Inaugural Event
Are you interested in hosting an inaugural gala or even for the 2013 presidential inauguration? In addition to the official events, the 2009 inauguration featured many unofficial diversions, such as inaugural balls, receptions, brunches, conferences, an inaugural fashion show, a beer tasting event, and similar festivities. The 2013 inauguration will likely feature more such events, and anyone may set one up. You can easily set up a ticketing system through services such as Eventbrite or TicketLeap, both of which allow you to:
- manage registrations
- accept payments
- advertise your event online
- check in attendees the day of the event
- and much more
