An event management system for a plurality of users for use in event coordinating, the system being accessible by an event provider and by at least one non-provider user, the at least one non-provider user being from a group of event clients, vendors and suppliers, the system comprising:
- a repository having information associated with event management, the repository including a database and having a first access permitting direct access to the repository by only an event provider and a second access permitting limited access to the repository by a non-provider user, said second access including a first digital interface permitting access to the repository by said non-provider user and a restriction component limiting access of said non-provider user to a defined portion of information in the repository, the restriction component including a plurality of unique identification codes, a record having all unique identification codes and a level of access corresponding to each unique identification code and a software interface, the software interface being operable to receive one unique identification code, search the record for the unique identification code, ascertain the level of access corresponding to the unique identification code and limiting access to the information in the database according to the ascertained level of access;
- and
- a device for capturing data and operable to communicate with the respository, said device being operable to be positioned at a remote location, capture data concerning that location and transmit the captured data to the respository.
An event management system for use in event coordinating, the system being accessible by an event provider and by a plurality of non-provider users and being accessible via a communication network, the non-provider users being from a group of event clients, vendors and suppliers, the system comprising;
- a server accessible via the communications network;
