Introduction

Hosting a virtual and experiential event with Xtendevent allows planners and organizers to run solo virtual and hybrid events in support of in-person events and in both instances, to reach new globally-located exhibitor and attendee prospects. Organizers can realize new revenues, increase and engage attendees via virtual conferencing and a virtual exhibition that offers multiple participant networking opportunities.

Virtual events can run over extended periods and Organizers can add live stream conferences and other 'drawcard' content over this period to sustain attendee awareness and engagement to add value for participants, and build the event Brand.

Measurability

Measurable results. Detailed real-time automated and downloadable event, exhibitor and attendee data and analytics.
