What are the main benefits of event platforms?
Event platforms offer well-thought-out web-based environments for all your content and attendee engagement. They have four key advantages that will elevate your online event to the next level:
1. Event platforms let you do more… in every way possible.
This is not a big surprise, since event platforms are purposely built tools with many event focused features. Imagine you are at a 3-day conference: there are multiple stages happening simultaneously, you can attend sponsor booths, fun activities, and workshops. All this is hard to pull off with a video chat tool. This is where all those event platforms features come into play.
2. Sell tickets and attract sponsors
Most of the events receive their funding from ticket sales and sponsorships. They offer integrated ticketing processes, usually accompanied by a landing page to help you sell your tickets, inform and register attendees. Sponsors will be glad to back your event if there is some possibility of returning their investment – e.g. engaging guests with giveaways or added exposure with custom showrooms in the platform.
3. They help you with attendee engagement
Event platforms have optimized tools to ensure that your attendees will be engaged and eager for more. Treasure hunts throughout the platform, competitive games, quiz games, and many more interaction options are embedded in event platforms and bring great results. With good prizes, your attendees will be happy to engage with your content.
4. Attendees can connect and chat
Networking is a big part of any event. Attendees can talk in chats or connect directly with 1v1 video calls. Host quick »get to know« meets or let your attendees have 1 on 1 time with your speakers. If the event is a hybrid (real life & online event) it is a perfect way to connect the online attendees to the ones at the event venue.
