Every year companies spend $$$ dollars on tradeshows, dinners, roadshows, conferences.

But with the rise of remote work, the modern-day workforce is dispersed geographically and demanding options to engage digitally.

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.

Here’s the reality; Platforms such as Netflix, Instagram, TikTok, Youtube have changed how consumers consume digital content.

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

Digital events standout

The experience stinks. The UX sucks.
Most are dated, boring tools that don't stand out and put the audience to sleep

Experience Stinks

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