1. PayPal
Management of ticket sales is a massive part of tracking and keeping on top of each event.
PayPal takes away a lot of the stress by seeing at a glance, how things are looking.
Free – iOS, Android, Web
2. Receipt bank
I'm one of those people who lose receipts, much to my accountant's ongoing dismay! Receipt Bank means I can take a photo of any invoice or receipt as soon as I get it and then if it disappears into the void that seems to be my handbag, it doesn't matter. Even better, it’s compatible with Xero which means less work for me.

3. MailChimp editor
Communicating with our database of guests and exhibitors is paramount for me as it keeps people engaged and excited about what we're doing. MailChimp lets me manage my lists, view reports on how campaigns are tracking and I can even send a new campaign on the go.

4. Weatherzone
The weather really does impact on people's event plans, so I'm slightly addicted to checking Weatherzone in the lead up to each event. It’s always good to have a wet weather contingency plan – no matter how late in the day it is!
Free – iOS, Android
5. Xero
Xero has changed my life! Numbers aren't my favourite aspect of the business, but like any small business – they are the most important. Xero means I can easily make sense of what is happening with my accounts, but I can also send invoices and manage the business regardless of where I am.
