In this episode of The Event Tech Pull Up, Tess and I dive into the Hub and Spoke method—a powerful framework for streamlining event planning and data management. Think of it as the command center or nerve center of your event, where one central hub connects all the spokes: files, links, logos, images, and more. It’s about creating a unified, accessible workspace that cuts down on the chaos and keeps your event running smoothly.

We explore some of the tools that bring the Hub and Spoke method to life, including favorites like Bublup, Tixio, Google Workspace, Notion, and even old-school Evernote. Each tool offers unique features like intuitive organization, color-coded folders, and visual previews, making it easier than ever to collaborate with your team and onboard stakeholders.

We also touch on the importance of integration and automation. Many of these platforms integrate seamlessly with others, reducing manual tasks and automating processes like file sharing or approvals. And for those of you working on the go, tools like Bubble Up have stunning mobile apps that keep everything accessible from your pocket.

If you’ve ever found yourself digging through emails to find that one exhibitor kit or chasing down proofs for name tags, this episode is for you. The Hub and Spoke method not only saves time but also enhances communication, transparency, and control—so you can spend less time hunting for files and more time enjoying a well-deserved glass of wine.
