The embed from EventBrite will work great in WSS. Use the Content Editor Web Part.

The only problem you might have is if you are running a secure site, you’ll get a security warning everytime the page loads because you’ll be pulling content from an external source.

Mark,
Our monthly meetings are averaging 20 with a high much more than that, so I don’t think 100 would be a stretch with the quality of content Virginia has.
Eventbrite looks good for the event registration. Thanks for the input. I’m curious to see how the html embedding works on our WSS site.

Tom – Just saw your twitter asking about EventBrite. I use them for all the events at EndUserSharePoint.com. I’ve had a really positive experience with them, including instant receipt of payment through PayPal and Google for numerous paid events.

I did have a problem when I had over 500 registrations for one event. The bulk emailer they provide couldn’t send out more than 499 emails. I reported this to support and received a quick response and apology, kind of nice to receive in a situation like this. They checked and couldn’t find a problem, but I’m still hesitant on very large events.

The upside to the service is the ability to create free events for no cost.

Very nice service. Highly recommended.

Mark

Tom – The event is getting larger by the day. There’s one in New York City in February and Becky is sponsoring one in Kansas City.

What’s your support group like where you are? Could you generate a couple hundred people for an event like this?

This is a good idea that I hope is repeated in Texas.
