For event-planners
A personal CRM for event planners — the speakers, VIPs, and vendors you re-book every single year.
Events are annual; relationships are continuous. The keynote who killed it, the AV tech who saved the keynote, the VIP with the seating history — Endearist keeps your black book in one place, on your device, through every venue, client, and job change.
The speaker file that writes next year's lineup
Eleven months after the conference, you remember that the closing keynote was great — and nothing else. Endearist remembers the rest: her fee, the no-morning-slots condition, the vegan catering, the presenter she hates, and your note that the Q&A ran long because the audience wouldn't let her go. Next year's invitation references all of it, takes ten minutes to write, and gets a yes — because being remembered well is half the fee.
The vendors who saved you once will save you again
Every planner has the list that actually matters: the AV tech who re-rigged the stage at six in the morning, the caterer who absorbed forty extra guests, the venue manager who bent the load-in rules. Log them in Endearist the same week, with what they did and what you promised in return. When the next crisis hits a different event in a different city, you're not searching — you're calling someone who already likes you.
Cadence on the annual rhythm
Event work runs on a yearly clock: speakers need asking five months out, the venue needs holding nine months out, sponsors warm up in the first quarter. Endearist's per-contact cadences map onto that rhythm — set the keynote contact to surface in February for an October event, the VIP list to resurface in August. The reminders arrive with last year's notes attached, so the outreach is specific from the very first line.
VIP preferences are sensitive — keep them local
"Never seat these two together again after the 2024 gala." "Severe nut allergy — double-check with the kitchen." "Prefers to arrive after the press window." Your VIP intelligence is operationally essential and personally delicate, and it does not belong in a shared event-management platform with twelve agency logins. Endearist keeps it local-first on your own device — DSGVO-comfortable, screenshot-proof, and exported to Markdown only when you decide it should be.
The black book outlives the agency
Agencies merge, clients churn, and in-house event teams get restructured — but the planner with the best contacts always lands on her feet. Endearist makes sure those contacts are actually yours: import years of speaker and vendor lists once via CSV or vCard, build the histories going forward, and carry the whole black book through every job change on your personal laptop. €69 once — the book pays that back with a single saved re-booking.
