As the youth-sports and tournament-management industry continues to mature, organizers are increasingly seeking precise, reliable, and real-time insights into how their events are performing. Episode 1 of the EventConnect Technology Series features CEO John D’Orsay joining Brandon for a deep dive into one of the platform’s most important innovations: Year-Over-Year Analysis.
A Product Built for a Growing Industry
EventConnect has spent the past year expanding its development team and enhancing every central area of the platform — from procurement and scheduling to roster management and registration workflows. Partners across the industry are scaling quickly, and they’re asking for tools that can keep pace.
Why Year-Over-Year Analysis Matters
The Year-Over-Year dashboard was designed for organizations running seasonal or multi-event portfolios. Instead of static reports or one-off exports, organizers can compare metrics such as room nights, travel team volume, and reservations per team across events and seasons — all updated in real-time.
This level of visibility enables more informed decisions around pacing, forecasting, and business planning. It also leads to more strategic conversations between organizers and their account managers, strengthening planning and performance on both sides.
A More Transparent Approach to Performance
The tool tracks performance at both the event and organizational levels. By mapping booking trends across different timeframes — 30, 60, or 180 days — organizers can spot booking patterns, identify dips or accelerations, and proactively adjust their strategies. It gives partners a clearer understanding of what’s working and where opportunities exist to grow.
Looking Ahead
John also previews what’s coming next: a new scheduler, a built-in tasking system, automated procurement, and expanded club-team management capabilities. These developments reflect EventConnect’s commitment to adapting to the evolving needs of the industry while maintaining transparency, speed, and usability.
