Why Use the Event Impact Calculator?
"We use the direct visitor spend numbers that come out of the EIC on a very regular basis. Clients request it to understand the full impact of their groups, we report it out to our community in various media outlets and we provide the data to our stakeholders to help paint the full picture of our organization's impact."
