    After the first event with LiveBuzz I have to admit that it was the smoothest registration process in my entire career.

  • 100% Optical

    100% Optical

    The research we got back from Explori on 100% Optical 2019 demonstrated that we as an event are scoring exceptionally highly on a number of key areas. I was delighted to see that Registration performed exceptionally well, with delegates AND exhibitors rating the service - supplied by our registration partner, LiveBuzz - very highly (top in event attributes). Having done this research we are able to benchmark ourselves against other trade shows and our competitors, and we were delighted to see we are scoring above our competitors and peers across the board.

    We haven’t looked back since LiveBuzz became our Event Registration Technology partner in 2016 and moving the event website to LiveBuzz in 2018 meant that all our event data and digital content was on a single platform, published beautifully by the LiveBuzz Exhibitor and Seminar content modules. When LiveBuzz came to us and explained how seamlessly we could incorporate their new online Exhibitor manual into the existing exhibitor journey for Exclusively 2023, we could instantly see the time saving benefits of automating form submissions, as well as keeping track on exhibitor progress as they work through the task list feature.

    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!
