  • Our conference attendees went out of their way to tell us how much they loved the app.
  • Communicating with our conference attendees has never been easier.
  • We had our biggest conference yet and the presence of the app makes me confident we'll grow more next year.
  • Previous year's event is saved, allowing for a useful template

  • WIthout socio, I am not sure we could have put on a successful virtual event during COVID. Their tool and level of customer service literary kept our business alive. Since then it has helped up grow our numbers in a time of increased cost for live events.
  • We heard from multiple attendees that are simply sick and tired of coming to virtual events, however, that socio was the best platform they had used and set us apart from other virtual events they had joined.
  • In a post event survey, 2/3 of our attendees rated the socio platform 4 or 5 stars (out of 5).

  • To stay in contact with the attendees after the event and sending them marketing emails to convert them into paid customers.
  • It improved business engagement as it's impossible to travel to so many locations for attending events. Now we can attend 3-4 events easily via webex events

  • WebEx Events allowed us to stop printing thick conference programs saving us both staff time in creation and $ for printing. Not to mention saving a few trees.
  • Our attendees are better able to connect with each other at our event when they have contact information at their fingertips.

  • The participation analysis has allowed us to refine our strategy and improve our weak points.
  • The recording option has allowed us to create tutorials and other deliverables that have created tangible value for our department and organization

  • Helped reach a broader audience.
  • With Covid, more people were able to see the conference if they weren't able to attend in person.
