Events are a key channel for B2B marketers but they have fundamentally changed

“Events are the number #1 marketing channel we use to feed our word of mouth.”

So Savvy B2B marketers are evolving. In addition to in-person ... events – they are using digital events to reach prospects and customers where they are - webinars...virtual summits ..., hybrid events ... and many more.

So for marketers who want their digital events to stand out and make attendees say...

Wow

...Today’s tools fall short

The experience stinks. The UX sucks.

Most are dated, boring tools that don't stand out and put the audience to sleep

And especially for B2B marketers focused on revenue, seamless integrations are table stakes for passing event engagement insights.

MARKETERS ARE LEFT ASKING

Why is our attendance rate so low?

How can we increase our audience engagement?

Why are our demo conversions low?

How can I help my sales team with their target accounts?

That’s why we built Goldcast.
The digital events platform for B2B marketers.

Here are a few examples:
