FREE Tool: (6) Templates to make Event Planning easier. 
Apple has just realeased 6 new event templates that on any other day might be
considered bad news for a company like AVSmartz.  Instead it was
welcome news as we have created very similar templates for the AV Event
Production industry and see Apples move into the space as a credible
endorsement of our own vision and path moving forward.  To compare how
the two work try ours for free here.

Filemaker,
the Apple subsidiary that publishes the popular database program of
the same name, has unveiled a free set of templates called Event Planner, designed to work with their consumer-oriented "personal database," Bento v3. The six new templates are centered around event planning from personal
retreats to multi-vendor fundraisers, and use six new customizable
templates for handling every aspect from task lists and expense reports
to vendor contact sheets and scheduling.

All
six templates -- Events, Tasks, Expenses & Invoices, Locations
& Venues, Contacts and Vendors -- are linked together to avoid any
repetitive data entry. The Event Planner templates can sync to the
mobile version of Bento on iPhones and iPads as well, allowing changes
to be made while on the go.

The Event Planner templates are
free but require Bento v3 for Mac ($49). There is a UK edition of the
Event Planner templates available as well. The Bento Template Exchange hosts over 720 templates for a wide variety of situations.
