About our articles
ConferenceTap publishes resources for people organizing conferences and professional events. We also sell event software. Where an article discusses our product, that commercial relationship should be clear.
Authors and review
Articles are published by ConferenceTap. We do not put a person's name on an article they have not confirmed writing or reviewing. Guides revised in September 2026 were rewritten to remove unsupported claims and add practical worksheets, and were reviewed for delivery details such as responsibilities, capacity, cash timing, and rehearsal fallbacks.
Examples and evidence
Worked examples use invented inputs and are labeled accordingly. They are not customer results or industry benchmarks. Product documentation is linked where it supports a specific statement. An account of firsthand use requires an identified contributor and evidence of what they did.
Worksheets and templates
Many guides include an editable worksheet as a CSV file. You can open it in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets, and no sign-up is required. Amounts are left blank: a worksheet is a planning aid, not a supplier quote or an automatic calculator.
Other vendors' prices
Where a guide gives another vendor's price or fee, it links the published page or the named report it comes from and states when the sources were checked. Vendors change their pricing, so confirm current figures with the vendor before you rely on them.
Archive articles
Older articles imported from the previous site are labeled as part of the ConferenceTap archive. In September 2026 we retired a large part of that archive. In some of the articles that remain, we replaced figures we could not source, such as a universal survey response rate or a fixed contingency percentage, with guidance on setting the number from your own event, and marked those articles as updated. Articles about 2024 carry a notice that vendor details have not been reverified.
Dates and corrections
Publication dates preserve the imported article dates. An updated date indicates a substantive change to the article, not a design change or an automatic annual refresh. Dated archive articles may include details that need current verification.
