Not only does Goldcast provide increased opportunities for attendee interaction, it also provides powerful data around that engagement.We were able to give our sales team multiple, actionable data points on each attendee, allowing them to easily personalize their outreach, and better convert leads into revenue

Our connection to Goldcast first started from one of the posts about events, and now look where we are. Thanks for helping us host our first major event on the Goldcast platform with more than 10,000 registrants!

Goldcast continues to prove how reliable and accessible it is. I began familiarizing myself with the platform with some Startup Boston webinars and I’ve been a fan ever since.

"Goldcast enabled us to make every interaction as personal as possible"

"We were excited to see the high engagement amongst attendees on the main stage as well as the ability to have breakout rooms branded for specific participants with their company logos."

"Creating innovative ways to connect virtually"

Hands down the best virtual event I have attended in terms of content and experience - The RevGrowth Virtual Summit. Shout out to Drift and Goldcast for a world class event.

"Fantastic customer support and post event analytics"

"We onboarded Goldcast because we wanted rich post events analytics that allows our sales teams to focus on the people who actually want to buy. But the icing on the cake was the fabulous customer support we received, because we know that multiple things could go wrong during the event. "
