How can Webex Events transform your next event?
Registration
Build beautiful registration pages that put your brand in the spotlight and streamline the registration process with highly customizable forms and multi-layer questions, emails, discount and access codes, multiple ticket types, and payment options to create a truly personalized attendee experience.
Webex Events Registration integrates seamlessly with Webex Events Onsite and the Event App, providing insightful metrics for each attendee’s journey from the registration page to the farewell email at the end of your event.
Event App for desktop and mobile
Having an Event App at your event puts an engaging event experience in attendees’ hands, whether they’re at home participating via the Web App, or on the go with the Mobile App. For virtual attendees, the Event App is your event’s digital venue to watch live streams, network with each other, and interact with content. For in-person attendees, the Event App is an intuitive digital guide that keeps them in the know about where Sessions are taking place and what’s happening throughout your venue.
An Event App enriches attendee networking with tools like attendee connections and profile sharing, 1:1 meetings, Shake & Connect to exchange contact information, and engagement features like session chat, built-in moderated Q&A, and polling and integration with providers like Slido, and video rooms.
The Event App isn’t just for during the event — it’s also a great toolkit to build excitement before your event begins and keep attendees engaged year-round after the event is over. Promote early adoption with exclusive early-bird games and give early adopters a sneak peek of your event with information about sessions, speakers, FAQs, city guides, and anything else that enhances the attendee experience. After your event ends, add session recordings to the Event App to deliver on-demand content year-round.
Setting up an Event App is easy! With no coding required, an intuitive interface, and with over 20 features to choose from, the possibilities for customization are virtually endless. With Event App metrics, measure attendee participation, networking, feature interactions, usage, and more to give you insights that help you make informed decisions about your event strategy.
Lead Retrieval
The Lead Retrieval by Webex Events app is the most seamless way for your sponsors and exhibitors to capture leads with enriched data and qualify them, export to their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, and prove return on investment — all by scanning attendees’ QR codes. Sponsors and exhibitors simply download the app and can start scanning leads from their mobile devices.
Webex Events Production Studio
Creating a professional-quality and engaging live-streaming experience for your remote attendees should be a top priority for virtual and hybrid events. We built Webex Events Production Studio to ensure that anyone can create professional live streams. It’s highly customizable and easy to use, and it requires no downloads or additional software.
With Webex Events Production Studio, fully customize your live stream with your own branding, including colors, logos, backgrounds, and pre-recorded video, including videos recorded and downloaded from Vidcast.
Deliver an outstanding attendee experience, empower all voices, and engage in real-time by displaying viewer chats and live polling, and Q&A by Slido. This promotes inclusivity in discussions by enabling participants to ask and answer questions anonymously.
Foster a more accessible and inclusive live-streaming experience with closed captions and translations.
If you already have a preferred streaming platform, no problem! Webex Events offers RTMPS streaming and integrates with many leading third-party live streaming and closed captioning providers.
Onsite Check-in and Badge Printing Software
Say goodbye to shuffling through pre-printed badges, paper check-in lists, and bottlenecks at your check-in and badge printing stations. Webex Events Onsite simplifies event check-in, session check-in, and badge printing to manage access, track attendance data, and oversee entry for specific groups during in-person events.
With Onsite Event Check-in, you have the power to give attendees a glowing first impression. Onsite App customization lets you showcase your brand, adding to brand continuity from the moment attendees enter the venue. Have staff manage attendee check-in, or let attendees check themselves in and print their own badges with a few taps.
Onsite Session Check-in makes it easy to check attendees into sessions and limit check-in based on a room’s capacity. Help attendees follow their interests by locking individual sessions to specific tracks. You can also assign individual attendees to sessions for complete attendance management.
The Onsite badge creation tool lets you create unique, beautifully branded badges with important attendee information and tailored design elements. Choose your badge size and type, then use the intuitive drag-and-drop badge designer to add your logo, customize the layout, add graphical elements, and display information based on conditional logic that set some badges apart from the rest.
