Why Use an Event Platform for an In-Person Event?
Published 2023/09/19
In-person events are unique opportunities to bring together individuals with shared interests, passions, or objectives. That's why we are celebrating their strong comeback! Whether it's a conference, trade show, or congress, organizing a successful business event requires meticulous planning and efficient management of many aspects. Do we need to use an event platform when organizing an in-person event? Aren't the tools and applications we currently use sufficient? You'll see that a comprehensive solution can elevate your event to another level, while also saving you valuable time!

Ticket Sales


Ticket sales can be a daunting logistical challenge! While there are many applications dedicated to ticket sales, an event platform allows organizers to easily create event-specific pages, customize ticketing options, add relevant information, and set up a secure payment system. What's most interesting about using an all-in-one platform is that you keep your user in one place. This way, it will be easier to communicate with them from the beginning of the process, streamlining their experience.

Access Control


An event platform offers advanced access control features, enabling efficient and secure management of entries. Participants can receive electronic tickets or unique QR codes, which are scanned at the event entrance using a dedicated application. Just like with ticket sales, you won't have to deal with another provider for this stage of your event organization. PairConnex's all-in-one platform even allows you to print custom badges with QR codes to quickly check attendance at room entrances.

Networking that Yields Results


In-person events provide excellent networking opportunities, but it can sometimes be challenging to find the right people or organize productive meetings. An event platform offers advanced networking features, such as user profiles, search tools, connection recommendations, and even an appointment scheduling module. With a platform like PairConnex, attendees can be matched based on their interests and objectives, as well as certain constraints. For example, if you are organizing an event where certain individuals come from the same company, you could establish a non-competition criterion. Convenient! Using their mobile app, participants can also scan the QR codes of people they meet during the event, making it easy to retrieve their contact information in the future.

Providing a Comprehensive Experience with a Mobile App


Mobile apps have become essential for delivering a comprehensive experience to event participants. An event platform allows you to easily offer your users a personalized mobile app, providing features such as the event agenda, real-time notifications, speaker information, and QR code connections. It's an effortless way to enhance participant engagement and communicate with them in real time. If your event needs to make last-minute changes to its schedule or venue, no worries—with push notifications, you can easily reach your participants.

Effective Communication... Paperless!


What we greatly appreciate about an all-in-one event platform like the one we offer is that it provides you with all the tools to communicate with your users from registration onward. You can send targeted emails before, during, and after your event, as well as provide discussion forums for participants.

In-person events are often associated with a significant amount of paper used for tickets, printed programs, badges, evaluation forms, and more. An event platform significantly reduces paper dependency by allowing participants to access all necessary information through modules like the media library or digital spaces (virtual kiosks). This reduces printing costs, and environmental impact, and simplifies logistics related to physical document distribution. Farewell to traditional business cards—with QR code connections, that's no longer necessary.

In 2023, the all-in-one event platform is a must-have for organizers of in-person events! It facilitates ticket sales, simplifies access control, fosters productive networking, offers a comprehensive mobile app experience, and reduces paper usage. By adopting a digital and integrated approach, event organizers can enhance their management efficiency and deliver an immersive and satisfying experience to participants.
