Abstract:

Event management in offices, firms, businesses, and other types of organizations is not an easy task. To ensure that the appropriate individuals receive the appropriate message at the appropriate moment, effective communication is required at every stage. This criterion is readily satisfied when utilizing SMS on mobile phones. The goal of this study was to solve the issues that come up while handling events manually, provide a practical solution, and hasten the transmission of information about the client's meetings and activities, the Mindanao People's Care Foundation Inc. (MPCFI). The main objective of the project is to design and develop an Event Management System with SMS notification to notify the employees of the aforementioned clients about important and/or urgent events and announcements. The system was deployed using the framework - dependent deployment with Microsoft Visual Studio. While the database was deployed using SQL Server. This research provides significant contributions in promoting productivity since it is easy to use and is time-saving. It also provides safety and security of records since it’s free from the flaws of using the traditional paper and verbal announcements. With its SMS notification feature, the employees and volunteers can quickly receive the important messages without the need of internet connection. It therefore promotes good flow of communication between superiors and subordinates within the office/organization.
