goldcast!!

Goldcast would be the first option I look at these days. Bizzabo has some nice webinar features for attendees, but the setup for organizers is pretty clunky. Wouldn’t use them unless you also had use for their in person features

A lot of people I know love Accelevents and you can reach out to the CEO on linkedin directly. He'll respond to you

Zoom Events is really competitive against Bizzabo -- at least for the events we are producing for our clients. It's a nice "wrapper" for large events and has a bunch of customization and additional features while maximizing Zoom Meeting and Zoom Webinar for content broadcast and sessions.

Bizzabo would be next. We are a certified agency partner of Bizzabo and do a lot of events on that platform. It's a complete end to end solution for virtual and hybrid programs. But does take some learning (or help from a 3rd party) to maximize all the features and customization.

Can anyone recommend a reg software for a one day, all general session meeting for 200 pax? We need standard meeting items- speaker bios/photos, agenda, ticketing, comp codes, etc. Didn’t know who might be good for a one off event.

What's the Best Platform for Managing Event Spaces?

Hello! I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for event management platforms or solutions they currently use and find effective. Currently, we utilize SplashThat, but we're in need of a meeting booking tool to streamline space management onsite. Specifically, we're seeking a tool that enables both our team and the sales team to efficiently oversee multiple meeting spaces during events, beyond what Calendly offers.

For instance, we envision a calendar-like booking system where sales team members can easily identify available meeting spaces during their scheduled meetings, similar to Outlook's meeting booking feature, but accessible to all stakeholders. It's important for both marketers and myself to have backend access for internal management. Currently, we're considering GTHR, but I'm open to any recommendations!! TYSM

What Makes a Virtual User Conference Successful?

What: ZapConnect - Zapier's Annual Virtual User Conference

Who: 8,000+ Zapier users

When: Thursday, Sept 28

Where: Online at zapconnect.com

Ticket Price: Free!

What went well:

• We well surpassed our attendee targets 📈

• Broadly speaking, there were no major streaming issues, attendee login issues, or major tech concerns that could impact the user experience.

• We're seeing higher than expected on demand traction, and received positive feedback on the content this year. 👏

• The production value for our videos has dramatically improved YOY, with this year being the best yet.

For next year:

• Live content: we had multiple redundancies in place in case of an outage, speaker not showing up, etc. Thankfully, we didn't have to use most of it! We did have 1 live stream buffer a bit right at the end of their session and were able to quickly load up the backup video to ensure the on demand version was crisp. We put a lot of effort into our contingency plans, and I'll do it all over again next year!

• Networking: We partnered with our event tech provider to create a brand new, user-generated networking feature in the form of "lounge discussions." This was a late add with little time to fine tune or promote it. Next year, with more runway, I hope we can take learnings from this year on how our attendees want to connect, enhance the tech offering and build stronger messaging that nurture folks towards using these more effectively.

• Support: the events team is currently fielding most week-of attendee questions. Thankfully, we've made logging in fairly intuitive; however, our process no longer fits our size. We have to do some digging into better systems and resourcing to help keep our team focused on the rest of the event and not support issues.
