INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO RUN EVENTS
Introducing EventMingle - Event based online social networking.
Taking Tradeshows, Conferences and Events to the next level since 2005.
Are you in charge of a large event? Tradeshows haven't really changed a lot over the past 20 years. It is still pretty much mass confusion on the first day. Attendees are trying to figure out where they should spend their time while Exhibitors wonder if the real "decision makers" will stop by their booth. These events for the most part are simply "treasure hunts". Everyone knows there are treasures at these events, they just don't know how to guarantee their share!
Return On Investment (ROI) is on everyone's mind. Exhibitors often measure it in the number of orders they take at the trade show. Exhibitors also measure ROI in different forms, like meeting with editors or analysts attending the event in order to generate editorial in trade publications. Exhibitors also think it's a home run if a featured event speaker mentions them or their product in a positive light during a breakout session. All of these examples contribute to the decision a company will make when deciding which events to exhibit or sponsor.
Two versions of our EventMingle are available to tradeshow producers:
- Tradeshow Edition : This is our traditional 16 week online community created for your attendees, speakers and exhibitors. You have the choice of making it an open (meaning anyone can register and join the site) or closed (only registered participants can access the site). This is a fast (we can usally have your site up and running in 5 business days) and afforable solution for trade show producers who want to offer their trade show participants a custom social networking solution. Participants can network with each other and build their custom daily planner.
- Community Platform : This is our year-round social networking community designed for trade show producers who offer 2 or more annual events within a specific industry. We build a custom social networking community around your specific industry including all of your current exhibitors and attendees. Your event brand becomes immediately recognized as the industry leader. To learn more about our EventMingle Community Platform, please visit our dedicated website to that product.
EventMingle was designed to improve your tradeshow or expo, and pay for itself. The site offers Exhibitors the ability to improve their pre-event marketing efforts to drive more people to their booth. Banner advertising and featured logo placement add additional revenue sources. As these Premium Services are purchased, a portion of the revenue is shared back with our clients - the tradeshow producer.
Benefits for those of you who put on events.
EventMingle allows everyone planning to attend your event to Meet, Interact, Plan and Engage prior to arriving to the actual event. Your events are so well run, people actually show up with an action plan! Yes, EventMingle will do this for you! People show up to see people they met online during their planning stage. They walk into an Exhibitor's booth knowing exactly who they plan to see. Editors see more booth demos and can sit down and drink a soda with attendees who plan to use these new products.
Attendees, Exhibitors, Editors and Speakers will all say:
"This is the best organized tradeshow I've ever attended".
By adding EventMingle you're telling everyone involved that you value their time and investment in attending your event. Simply put, you're watching out for their ROI! Participants arrive at your event prepared and looking forward to meeting their new online friends "in person". Your event becomes a "Must Attend" event year after year, while adding additional net income to your bottom-line. EventMingle is truly Win-Win!
With our Visual Walking Map option, you can provide your attendees with a powerful color coded exhibit hall floor map customized just for them. They can easily see exactly which exhibitors they've added to their EventMingle daily planner.
Your Exhibitors will love you!
Your exhibitors will appreciate the fact they can perform all of their pre-event marketing in one single location. You're making it extremely easy for them to get their message out. No more printing, postage, mail houses and expensive inside sales calls to try and encourage people to stop by their booth. EventMingle will yield them one of the best event results they have ever had. It will be so good that they will be talking about your event long after the event concludes. Yes, we guarantee it. Why? Because by adding EventMingle to your event you're saying, "I care about your ROI! I want you to have a successful event and made the effort to ensure it!"
EventMingle allows exhibitors to connect on several levels with many different groups attending the event. Since EventMingle's pre-event marketing tools are state of the art and extremely efficient, your exhibitors will actually save money and time!
The reason exhibitors appreciate event producers who use EventMingle is because EventMingle actually drives more qualified traffic to their booth resulting in a higher ROI. Exhibitors can schedule appointments with attendees in advance answering the question "will any qualified attendees be at the event?" Exhibitors can also schedule booth demos with editors and session speakers and can also meet with job seekers if they so choose.
Exhibitors will greatly appreciate the fact they can reach out to all event participants prior to arriving at the show. EventMingle will allow them to reach decision makers on several different levels. They can also reach out to other exhibitors for business development opportunities. The possibilities are endless and your event will be the focal point!
As you can see, your Exhibitors will appreciate the fact you selected EventMingle.
Attendees call EventMingle "Turbo Networking".
Armed with EventMingle as their secret weapon, attendees are going to have the best event experience they have ever had. Why? Because attendees are not left in the dark. Using our Daily Planner feature they'll be able to build and manage all of their appointments, schedule and to-do list online. They will be well prepared. In addition, they'll be able to build their very own custom walking map, color coded with the exhibit hall floor map to help them get a visual idea of where all the exhibitors are they plan to visit. For the first time they'll have real advance access to the event. They can see who is going to be attending, what the hot topics are, and can organize their appointments and to-do lists prior to actually arriving. Attendees have never before had this type of pre-event access.
Attendees not only know which companies will be attending the event, they can make appointments with booth staff in advance! If they signed up to attend technical sessions there is a very good chance they'll know the person sitting next to them, because they met online, prior to the event! With EventMingle people look forward to arriving and actually meeting in person the people they've met online.
Attendees can easily view product press releases and access EventMingle's message board to see what people are saying. They can discuss a product with other attendees who use the same product. Imagine the networking power this creates! Attendees can see what goodies exhibitors plan to give away and add the exhibitor to their "must see" list! Finally, attendees who are also seeking an employment change can visit the "Job Board" to see what opportunities exist in their industry.
EventMingle is the hottest thing to hit the conference and trade show industry in a long time. Adding EventMingle will have everyone singing your praises while you add more cash to your bottom-line. To learned more Contact Us today for a detailed demo.
