Ticketing system and app. By creating an event attendees can sign up with the details you’d like to record. You can keep track of who has signed up. You can use the app to monitor attendance and have attendees sign up when they arrive.

Exhibitors use the app. Exhibitors can download the app so that when they speak to an attendee who is interested in their institution or company they can scan their ticket/QR code and be able to email them details such as, open days and course info. This saves the inaccurate process of writing down email addresses.

Will your service attract all exhibitors you work with?
No. You should still do everything you can to attract exhibitors to your event. We do not have many contacts with local services. We do not guarantee that any of our contacts will be interested in your event. We hope that you will attract a few more than you would have in the past. Please continue to fully promote your event as I’m sure you have done in the past.
