Is anyone still doing immersive virtual events? You know the kind that have avatars and 3D venues where you walk around to find sessions and networking.
If so, what tool are you using?
Have used Active Theory/Dreamwave for bespoke events like this in the past. Think they’re still doing them. Not cheap, but definitely recommend them
The best platform has always been eXvo
@EventPlanner293 Their solution looks interesting at first glance -- any intros you can share would be much appreciated.
All my contacts are gone. Sandy hammer (the ceo) is very well connected.
@EventPlanner963 do you know sandy?
Hm I don’t
No worries - I booked a demo via the website.
I could not find what I wanted so I built one for a specific event a few years ago. Not a fan of many of the Avatar platforms, little creepy! But I am sure AI will bring us a new level of fabulous for virtual.
Hey all! One of the events I work on is looking into a interactive floor plan platform we can use both internally as a multi-department team and externally to clients. Finding something where we can control who can see what and is very user friendly (both back end and front end) is key. We used a2z last year and are open to other platforms.
Are there any floor plan platforms out there that folks absolutely love?
What’s the best venue designer platform for events with full table, 1/2 table, and individual seats for sale? Looking at 350-400 attendees. The event is 1x/year so I won’t need a subscription service. I’ve explored these : Planning Pod, All Seated, Social Tables
Are there any others???

Looking for a DMC/event production company recommendation to help me with the following (*highly ambitious) project: Company kick off event (2-3 day offsite, local + intl travel from Chile) for 1200 people in Jan 2024. Our CFO wants to see 3 budget scenarios for an event in Vegas, SF and 1 other location (Florida or Arizona) by EOW. Recognizing it's not realistic to pull detailed quotes & availability by then, but would love to provide a ballpark p/person estimate at least. Thank you!
<!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.
