Event Attendance Predictor

Event Attendance Predictor estimates attendees, confidence, and capacity use from invitations, response rate, and external factors for better event planning.

Number of Invitations Sent:

Response Rate (%):

External Factors:

No-Show Rate (%):

Venue Capacity (people):

Formulas Used in Event Attendance Predictor

The calculator uses the following formulas to estimate event attendance:

Expected Attendees:

\\[ A_e = I \cdot R \cdot F_e \cdot (1 – N) \\]

Attendance Confidence Score:

\\[ S = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{R \cdot F_e}{R_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) \\]

Capacity Utilization:

\\[ U = \frac{A_e}{C} \cdot 100 \\]

Where:

\\( A_e \\): Expected attendees (people)
\\( I \\): Number of invitations sent (people)
\\( R \\): Response rate (decimal)
\\( F_e \\): External factor multiplier (Poor: 0.8, Average: 1.0, Favorable: 1.2)
\\( N \\): No-show rate (decimal)
\\( S \\): Attendance confidence score (%)
\\( R_{\text{max}} \\): Maximum reference response rate (0.8)
\\( U \\): Capacity utilization (%)
\\( C \\): Venue capacity (people)

Example Calculations

Example 1: Small Event, Low Response Rate

Input: Invitations = 100, Response Rate = 30%, External Factors = Poor, No-Show Rate = 20%, Venue Capacity = 80

\\[ A_e = I \cdot R \cdot F_e \cdot (1 – N) = 100 \cdot 0.3 \cdot 0.8 \cdot (1 – 0.2) = 19.2 \ \text{people} \\] \\[ S = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{R \cdot F_e}{R_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{0.3 \cdot 0.8}{0.8}, 100\right) = 30 \ \% \\] \\[ U = \frac{A_e}{C} \cdot 100 = \frac{19.2}{80} \cdot 100 = 24 \ \% \\]

Result: Expected Attendees: 19 people, Confidence Score: 30%, Capacity Utilization: 24%

Example 2: Medium Event, Average Conditions

Input: Invitations = 500, Response Rate = 50%, External Factors = Average, No-Show Rate = 10%, Venue Capacity = 400

\\[ A_e = I \cdot R \cdot F_e \cdot (1 – N) = 500 \cdot 0.5 \cdot 1.0 \cdot (1 – 0.1) = 225 \ \text{people} \\] \\[ S = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{R \cdot F_e}{R_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{0.5 \cdot 1.0}{0.8}, 100\right) = 62.5 \ \% \\] \\[ U = \frac{A_e}{C} \cdot 100 = \frac{225}{400} \cdot 100 = 56.25 \ \% \\]

Result: Expected Attendees: 225 people, Confidence Score: 62.5%, Capacity Utilization: 56.25%

Example 3: Large Event, Favorable Conditions

Input: Invitations = 2000, Response Rate = 70%, External Factors = Favorable, No-Show Rate = 5%, Venue Capacity = 1500

\\[ A_e = I \cdot R \cdot F_e \cdot (1 – N) = 2000 \cdot 0.7 \cdot 1.2 \cdot (1 – 0.05) = 1596 \ \text{people} \\] \\[ S = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{R \cdot F_e}{R_{\text{max}}}, 100\right) = \min\left(100 \cdot \frac{0.7 \cdot 1.2}{0.8}, 100\right) = 100 \ \% \\] \\[ U = \frac{A_e}{C} \cdot 100 = \frac{1596}{1500} \cdot 100 = 106.4 \ \% \\]

Result: Expected Attendees: 1596 people, Confidence Score: 100%, Capacity Utilization: 106.4%
