Hey All! Im running point on a 200 person conference this fall, but having trouble finding an event registration platform that meets the following needs:
1. Paid registration options
2. Ability to have approval process to vet registrants before they pay
3. aesthetically pleasing and easy to use for registrants
I set up a glue up account but have not been having the best experience, and im trying out RSVPify, but if 1)anyone has any recommendations or 2) has tried any of these platforms please let me know 🙂
Have you tried https://splashthat.com/
Ive only tried it for smaller events - never for large scale. Have you?
Thanks for sharing!
@EventPlanner355 I'm obviously biased but would emplore you to check out Bizzabo. Feel free to let me know if you have any specific questions! https://www.bizzabo.com/
Oooo, thanks Rachel! Will check it out
Pretty sure we used Bizzabo at Yext (cc @EventPlanner212 for any insights)
^ Happy to answer any questions about my experience working with Bizzabo @EventPlanner355! Bizzabo worked very well for ticketed events 200+
Thanks @EventPlanner212

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.
Anyone have a favorite webinar platform- open to whether you produced or were an attendee? We are looking to onboard one in our next fiscal year and I would love opinions. Looking at On24, Splash, Zoom events, Go to Webinar, Bizzaboo.
Curious if anyone has done a multi-breakout, multi-session event on a platform you loved. Does that even exist? I’m managing 80 sessions over 3 days in 6 different breakouts. We decided against one platform because they couldn’t produce a solid reference for someone who had done this large of an event and there were issues with the RTMP flow. The platform we are using has some nuances, especially on the production side that aren’t the best.
So what have you used that you like?
What virtual event platform do you all use? Has anyone ever used Goldcast? I am looking to host a half day virtual user conference in the spring. Whatever we pick must have multi track capabilities and a sponsor showcase area. We currently use Demio for webinars (very simple tool) and tried AirMeet (hated it).
<!here>, we're kicking off this channel to be a dedicated space to support one another as event tech continues to rapidly evolve. This post on LinkedIn inspired me to ask - are you willing to share your event tech stack with the group here? It might help inspire other members to look into new solutions, or ask for your more specific advice or opinion on tech you currently use. As a reminder, we also have the #ai-for-events channel for those interested.
Has anyone used event software other than Splash and Bizzabo for event registration, save the dates, etc.? I’ve tried them both but recently Splash’s virtual capabilities have fallen short 🫤
Hi all! I am looking into new possible namebadge printing software/hardware for our smaller scale events. We typically use Bizzabo and their printers for our larger events, but haven't found a great cost friendly option we can count on for the smaller events. Please let me know if you have any great options to share - thank you!
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
Hello! could someone here recommend a good and comprehensive registration tool, besides Cvent? Thank you so much in advance.
Hi Everyone, I am planning four 100-150 person events and wanting to find a vendor that can do onsite badge printing and attendee check-in. I just got a quote from cvent that seems really high ($12K per city). Does anyone have any recommendations for other companies that help with event check-in/registration with badge printing?
Hey everyone! What in-person event technology is still out there that people like for registration and on-site event management?
hi! a client needs some sort of platform/tech to send out individual QR codes to all of them to act as their event "ticket" day of. Any recommendations for something so simple that doesn't cost a fortune? We want to be able to track who came vs. who didn't using these individually distributed QR codes.
hi friends - looking for badge vendors that have products that encourage networking but are not tied for RFID (ie - individual QR codes to LinkedIn profiles, etc) would love any suggestions or things you have done in the past or vendors you have used... THANK YOU!
Hi all. Has anyone used https://splashthat.com/ for invites / registration / etc. but used an alternative system for onsite badge printing? Their badges are pretty basic and I'm looking for something a little more high tech but want to make sure the systems are compatible. Thanks!
Hi all! I'm on the search for amazing Splash designers. I see a lot of impressive Splash pages and would love to replicate some of them for upcoming retreats. Any referrals would be greatly appreciated! (I did get a referral from Splash however he's no longer doing freelance)
Hi everyone! What is your favorite ticketing/registration tool? If it’s not a full on event platform and if it’s not Eventbrite, what’s yoru choice? (paid/unpaid)
hi friends! looking for a solid event app vendor and appreciate any leads!! thank you and grateful for this group of pros!!
Hi All! Wondering if anyone uses Bizzabo for webinars & virtual events? I have not had hands-on experience with it, but my company 1) has it as a hold-over from a large user conference and 2) needs an upgraded webinar/virtual events platform (currently using Zoom). We are 95% certain we will resign, and will be hosting some test webinars next week, but I would love to hear feedback on Bizzabo's webinar/virtual event features from any current users. Thank you!
Hi all! Im curious, do folks have an event tech platform they use for splash pages, event registration, and emails that they really love and offers high levels of customization/branding? Also that connects to Marketo/salesforce? I'm all ears 🙂
Any recommends for a free ticketing platform similar to eventbrite that charges less than EBs fees?
I’m working on a redesign of our conference websites and looking for some inspiration! Does anyone have examples of other event sites that they love?
Hi there! Looking to build an app for an upcoming client program. Wondering if anyone has any reccos for event based apps you've used. It would be great if there's a ticket integration feature.
Hi all. I'm looking for a vendor to help create non-floral centerpieces for an event in NYC. The centerpieces will be made out of toys which are donated after the event. thanks!
Hi everyone !! I’m hoping to find an exclusive and difficult to get into restaurant to host 15-20 clients in NYC. We’ve already done The Polo Bar. Any other recommendations? If you also have a similar style rec for Dallas, Ill take that too :). Thanks!
Has anyone used a live scribe in New York? I'm looking for something like Scriberia but based in New York / the states more broadly.
