Social Tables Unveils First-Ever Social Networking Platform for Events with Assigned Tables
Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 19, 2011
Social Tables (http://www.socialtables.com) has launched its socially integrated event planning platform that enables the building of an active online community of guests. The cloud based planning tool, allows guests the ability to fully interact socially prior to and after an event takes place.
“There is an obvious void in the event planning industry,” explains Matthew Tendler, co-founder of Social Tables. “There are plenty of electronic tools that create pretty invitations but none of them focus on enhancing the guest experience. Weâve created a tool that bridges the gap between the virtual and real world by connecting guests to each other, allowing them to interact before and after they meet in person.”
Key features available on Social Tables include:
Seating Tool: The drag-and-drop functionality allows you to assign guests to their seats and helps you visualize your event before it even begins.
Guest List Creation: Easily import your guest list from one of several supported platforms, including Excel, Gmail and Facebook.
Live Guest Chat: Guests can interact in real-time through the EventTalk and TableTalk interfaces before and after meeting in person.
Social Integration: Seamlessly integrate your guestsâ social networking information using Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn into your seating arrangements.
Wedding Website Integration: Use popular wedding websites, like The Knot and WeddingWire, to import your wedding guest list in order to create the perfect seating chart for your special day.
“Going to events is a game of chance. You never know who youâll meet,” said Dan Berger, co-founder of Social Tables. “By providing people with information about event attendees, guests are able to interact more meaningfully with each other. We are hoping to provide a heightened social experience through the virtual offering.”
To get started, visit http://www.socialtables.com, create a new event, and add your guests or import a guest list youâve already created from one of the supported platforms. Social Tables is available to consumers immediately, free of charge until August 1, 2011.
