Firstly, I wanted say a HUGE thank you to your team this week. I had lots of great feedback from our EVP about LiveBuzz and how modern the new badge system looks.

Hannah Sykes, Head of Campaign Marketing, Clarion Events

We’ve had a seamless experience with LiveBuzz when migrating over to their registration, website and app platforms. It was a no-brainer to switch to all 3 and it’s meant the user journey has improved tenfold and our workloads have eased massively in terms of setup and execution. There’s swift and friendly customer service and super knowledgeable and solutions-focussed teams across the board - we would definitely recommend!

Scott McKenna, Group Exhibition & Membership Manager, PPMA

As our Event Registration Technology partner of almost 10 years, LiveBuzz really has become an extension of the team. This was evident as we came out of lockdown and began to plan our PPMA 2022 event. We could immediately see how their new online Exhibitor Manual product would save time for us and our exhibitors, through the automation of operational tasks - and that’s exactly what it delivered. There have also been huge efficiencies for our exhibitors thanks to the task list feature, which really helps us keep track on progress, when key deadlines are looming. We trust LiveBuzz to come to us with solutions that genuinely help us as organisers and make a huge difference to our event and the user experience.

Wow – what an event to break through the covid fog and it felt great to return to in-person events. We have had record numbers through the door as you know too well! I have not seen a GOW that busy in all areas and the feedback has been 100% unrelentingly super positive.

Thank you team LiveBuzz, so much for all your help and support throughout the project and bearing with us as we picked our way through the covid restrictions. I thought the registration team and desks were super slick, professional and really friendly and welcoming which just added to the delegate experience.

Thanks for your hard work over the last few days (and before!). The event was a MASSIVE success. It was great working with the LiveBuzz team. From the registration desk to theatre management to daily updates on reg numbers, we felt safe, supported and informed in what was our first time out for this event.
