There is no shortage of virtual and hybrid platforms in the current event spaces. Spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, “eventing” has shifted into something that is fluid and malleable for each individual event. When the pandemic hit, tech companies big and small jumped at the opportunity to build new solutions for their customers that continue to keep the event industry afloat. Thankfully, they were successful. But what we are left with is a very saturated market of great options and not a lot of guidance as to who is the best.
All meetings and events are driven by different demands. Some may want more gamification, while others want more break-out or networking rooms, and some need both. There are a multitude of different ways you can host your event, and no one knows it better than you and your team. At MeetingPlay, our account managers enjoy listening to your vision, hearing your event goals, and finding solutions within our platform that help you meet those goals. MeetingPlay’s developers build these incredible user experiences that drive metrics the way you need them to be driven, creating unique and innovative solutions for every event, virtual, in-person, and hybrid.
The MeetingPlay Difference is a part of our philosophy. Here’s why MeetingPlay is the right platform for you.
We Create Unique Experiences
"It's our job to create Super Bowls with virtual and hybrid events."
- Joe Schwinger, Co-CEO MeetingPlay
MeetingPlay is tailor-made for you. We build the experience that you envision and want for your attendees. Our proprietary tech is influenced by our leaders who come from the hospitality industry and are based on exceptional quality, security, and support. Many platforms are built using 3rd party vendors and lack the level of security most clients need for these virtual events. MeetingPlay offers completely proprietary technology that utilizes government-level security (SOC-2) to keep your event and its attendees risk-free. In addition, our experienced event staff work with you before, during, and after your event to ensure the perfect experience, every time.
Here’s some of our most popular features, loved by our clients:
Attendee Schedules
- Your attendee’s event experience is tailor-made through our AI-backed, custom scheduling solutions, designed to simulate face-to-face.
- MeetingPlay's “My Experience Dashboard” connects your attendees with a personalized agenda, content, exhibitors, and valuable networking opportunities, all based on their likes and personal goals.
Social wall
- Keep your attendees engaged with features like the Social Wall and Gamification. They can like, comment, and post photos from wherever they are, bridging the gap between worlds and creating new experiences. If you’re running a hybrid event, these features can be connected between audiences to create one, unified experience for all attendees to enjoy.
Gamification
- To put it simply, gamification is fun. It's meant to drive engagement, promote easy competition, and understand your attendee behaviors. (You can also use gamification to tease our participants' interest and intent, and it can become an excellent lead generation tool!)
- The developers and account managers at MeetingPlay love to discuss your event goals to build a platform unique to you. From scavenger hunts to development of mini games built with open-source software, we create fun so you can reach your engagement goals.
Exhibitor/sponsor booths
- With the MeetingPlay mobile event app and virtual platform, you can showcase your sponsors through branding opportunities and audience engagement. And we can offer ideas to help monetize your event with exclusive sponsorships and sponsorship packages.
