Platform and software sourcing can make or break a virtual event. To properly prepare, an organization must have effective software to help streamline the tasks needed to plan, manage, and execute the event. In addition, the right tools can drastically improve the attendees’ experience and help drive engagement.
What We Offer
CTC is here to help event hosts identify the best software for their event to ensure flawless execution.
ON-SITE PROGRAM PACKAGE: Take the guesswork out of your programming! There is a time for everything. We create an on-site program to maximize your attendee reach and event revenue.
EVENT APP: Event apps have replaced printed programs. Not only does it save a lot of trees, but an app is fluid, which means information can be added and/or changed at any time with no deadlines to adhere to. Apps include all event information including session descriptions, speaker information, event agendas, exhibit maps and more! Apps can also be used as a revenue stream for sponsorship opportunities. In addition, apps are a great way to engage your attendees through social media and gamification.
How To Choose The Right Virtual Platform
Before diving into researching various virtual platforms, event hosts should keep in mind the following trends.
Hybrid events — events that combine both in-person and virtual experiences — are on the rise. These types of events will gradually become the norm as technology continues to advance and expand event options.
A system that offers the ability to manage in-person and virtual events within one platform will help event organizers maintain a “big picture” view of all past and upcoming events.
When searching for an event platform, it’s important to make sure the platform supports all the requirements needed to meet event goals. Ask questions to find out if the platform has the following features and capabilities:
- Reports and metrics
- Sessions options
- Design options
- The types of tools used for engagement
- Customer support options and features during events
- Accessibility features
- Third-party integrations
