Are you interested in hosting an inaugural gala or even for the 2017 Presidential Inauguration? In addition to the official events, past inaugurations have featured many unofficial diversions, such as inaugural balls, receptions, brunches, conferences, inaugural fashion shows, tasting events, and similar festivities. The 2017 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
