Zoji

Zoji is a new event planning tool that lets you create a profile for each event, and socialize around it. The point is to “talk-it-up” in order to get everybody excited about the event beforehand. Users can collaboratively add pictures from their computer or the web, and vote on the date for the event. You can also clone an event, if you like how it’s set up then just tweak the info a bit in order to make it your own. As with several event creation sites now, there is a good amount of social networking going around these events. Zoji also features user-submitted blogs, groups for you to join, and searchable directories for restaurants, bars, clubs and bands. Your profile acts as a hub for all this activity occurring around you, with an event calendar, messages, easy-access icons for your photos, etc. There’s also a mini feed for you to keep up with what your friends are doing.

Audio Visual Equipment & Installations

Reflex.co.uk is a an Audio Visual Equipment & Installations, based in UK and on the market since 1983. Obviously, because the market of this company, its website is totally video and audio based, a very interesting approach that just few companies have tried. Reflex's services include all the aspect that can be related to a audio/video presentation, from the systems' design and installation (Reflex can manages design and installation not only of "simple" contests like a meeting that can involve just some projectors, plasma screens or videoconferencing tools but also large scale projects like building refurbishment) to technical support and maintenance (from on-site maintenance to on-site technician but also the simpler in-house repair). Reflex can also manage for you entire events like exhibitions, conferences and so on or simply give you the right instrument to create (as defined on their site!) the "wow" effect in the people. Remember that Reflex can offers to its customers only the best product available on the market: in its 23 years of activity it has been capable to built strong and exclusive relationship with the major audio/video manufacturers and distributors (Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo, Epson, NEC, 3m, Samsung and so on) that can be translated as the best quality at the lower price available over the net and in a list of product that simply include all the objects available on sale. For example they can provide you entire plasma walls (virtually limitless combining WVGA screens of 42"), 60" projection, holoscreen (that translates in an image size of 110"), LED Video Display but also the Fogscreen (the new technology that permits the object to be projected "in the air" on a fog wall) or Trojan (rear projection with 90" screens). Practically, Reflex is the best solution for who want to create a really great presentation or exhibit...especially for their price that are simply unbeatable.

Planypus

This Chicago-based Evite system is meant for casual events. Currently the user interface is not aesthetically pleasing, but the service offers a wiki-like product to enable gatherings big or small. With some refining of the UI, they have a chance. I like the navigation and their emphasis on sharing and aggregating information for invites. Currently, the site has no clear monetization strategy.

MyPunchBowl

Mypunchbowl is like an advanced Evite, in that it sticks mainly to features that are similar to Evite's - such as customized templates. They make it simple and easy for registration and have integrated message boards, updates, and the ability to edit your RSVP status to increase the pre-event conversation. After you have planned an event, they give recommendations of party stores and other places of interest. This could be of major interest and I expect Mypunchbowl to strike many deals with local retailers, with the goal of being a data mine of sponsored local listings. Over time, this may be a compelling business model.

Renkoo

You can use Renkoo to begin the organization of an event and reach a consensus on the next meeting place. The conversation can be tracked in many different formats - including instant messenger, email, SMS or on Renkoo's website. Their 'Comet' technology enables two-way, real time communication for all people taking part in the discussion. If someone isn't logged in, the conversation will be displayed in full the next time they go to their Renkoo account. All in all, Renkoo has a shot because of their management team, use of technology on multiple platforms, and they are well funded.
