TalliFor membership and trade associations
Run the same seminar in every region without building it twice.
Talli helps associations plan recurring seminars, regional series and annual meetings. Build an event once, copy it to every venue, fit one room layout to each room, invite members from your contact lists, then compare attendance by region.
What gets in the way of a regional series?
The work multiplies with every city you add. Here is where it usually piles up, and what Talli does about it.
Every stop of the series is set up by hand.
Clone an event to up to 10 venues at once. Each copy is a draft with the description, attendee types, questions, agenda, emails, surveys and tasks of the original, so you only pick a venue and a date.
Each room is different, so the seating plan has to be redrawn.
Talli carries one layout to every venue of the series and fits it to each room's walls, doors and power. You read what changed per room and keep the layouts you agree with.
Member lists live in spreadsheets.
Import a CSV into a contact list, then plan invitations, reminders and follow-ups on the event's email timeline. People already registered are left out of invitations by default.
The board wants numbers by region.
Reports filter by date and region: show-up rate, people reached, repeat attendees and results by event. The Overview compares registrations by region for the year.
Member feedback arrives late, or not at all.
Open a survey after the seminar and send each attendee their own link. Results show the response rate, ratings and comments translated for your team.

Emails and contact lists
Invitations, reminders, follow-ups and announcements on one timeline, with merge tags, previews and test sends.
Group registration
One person registers up to 10 people by default, or sends each a link to fill in their own details.
Surveys
One response per ticket, or anonymous. Results with ratings, Would recommend and translated comments, and a CSV export.
Reports by region
Attendance, audiences and language access for any period, filtered by region, with exports of registrations and check-ins.
Frequently asked questions
Can we run the same seminar in several cities without rebuilding it?
Yes. Clone the event to up to 10 venues at once; each copy is a draft with the original's setup, agenda, emails, surveys and tasks. Registrations, orders and check-ins are not copied, so each city starts empty.
What if one venue's room is too small for the layout?
The series view marks that venue as Short, with the number of seats missing. You can lower the capacity and turn on the waitlist, add a room next door with a video feed, or pick another venue in the same region.
Will members who already registered get the invitation again?
No. Leave out people already registered is on by default for invitations to contact lists. Someone on several lists gets the email once.
Can a member company register several people at once?
Yes. The registration page has a group form for up to 10 tickets by default. The buyer can fill in each person's details or send them a link to fill in their own.
Can we compare attendance between regions?
Yes. Each event takes its region from its venue, and Reports filter by date and region to show the show-up rate, people reached and repeat attendees.
