Built for Higher Education Decision-Makers
Whether you’re an event coordinator, enrollment leader, advancement officer, or IT stakeholder, this guide will help you navigate options and align stakeholders across campus.
Too Many Tools, Not Enough Strategy
When your team wastes time on manual processes or data clean-up, they lose the capacity to focus on student engagement and long-term outcomes.
Higher education institutions often juggle three to five separate tools to manage campus events—registration platforms, payment processors, communication tools, calendar systems, and more. The result? Wasted time, disconnected data, and inconsistent student experiences.
At Blackthorn, we’ve helped manufacturing teams streamline and strengthen their event strategies directly inside Salesforce. We understand the complexity of coordinating repeatable training programs, factory tours, and partner events across regions and teams. This guide is built to help you navigate those decisions with clarity and confidence.
