What William Reed had to say

    After finishing another blockbuster Screwfix Live event I wanted to thank you for an incredible delivery from the LiveBuzz team. You absolutely nailed it, and it’s a big gig with lots of elements and LOTS of visitors and kids! The technical supports, Jay & Harry, quietly got on with the job at hand and nothing seemed a problem, they were a joy to work with as was Kirsty. My staff contact Desiree just never fails to deliver an Oscar performance whatever is thrown at her. I don’t know how she does it but she always seems to have energy in the tank when everyone else is on their knees! Her onsite staff support were also excellent and very hardworking.

    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.

    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.

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

    We have partnered with LiveBuzz as our registration provider since the inception of our event – Plant Based World Expo Europe. Not only do they provide an unparallelled professional service, but their team are extremely helpful, and always on-hand to support the show team before, during and after our event. As a small, dynamic marketing function, we appreciate their help in assisting with communications to our attendees and exhibitors alike. Like many event organisers, we are experts in problem-solving in the moment and having a registration team on-site that we can trust to act swiftly and professionally under pressure is essential.
