The Alternative to In-Person Trade Shows

Deerfield, IL, April 23, 2021 -- As the Coronavirus started wreaking havoc across every corner of the world, business owners saw one of their main sources of new business disappear. The in-person trade show became an impossibility with the need to social distance and lockdowns. Buyers were not in a position to source new products for the ever-growing needs and sellers were challenged by the lack of new customers. Data shows that in 2021, 65% of vendors plan to exhibit at a tradeshow, down from 85% in the prior year. Another startling statistic is that the number of vendors that find exhibiting at tradeshows critical to their business is also down, at only 57%. These reductions have huge repercussions for national and global trade. Lanky Levy, a businesswoman with experience working around the globe, saw a huge opportunity to replicate the experience of an in-person trade show, virtually!

Eventdex Launches Clubhouse-Style Meeting Rooms for Online Events

The new feature aims to provide more structured networking opportunities with both private and public rooms.The Event management company Eventdex has added a new feature to its platform that allows attendees to meet in both private and public rooms. The clubhouse-style meeting rooms are designed to provide superior networking opportunities in both hybrid and virtual events. The ongoing pandemic has forced event planners to switch to online events, which do not offer face-to-face interactions. The need to provide a solution where attendees could network as they would in any other in-person event was not a nice to have but a must-have. This change in attendee behavior was the inspiration for adding this feature, which will facilitate more structured meetings between speakers, sponsors, and attendees. Virtual networking is already a core feature of Eventdex, which offers an unmatched way to keep attendees engaged before, during, and after the event. Whether it is the B2B matchmaking app for virtual events or the mobile event app, Eventdex’s comprehensive platform ensures that attendees make the most of every online event they attend. The clubhouse-style meeting rooms complement the existing services to further boost attendee engagement at virtual or hybrid events in more than one way. Eventdex believes that the new feature gives more engagement options to attendees as it allows them to have audio or video chats with their peers and other participants. The clubhouse-style meeting rooms give a voice to participants and replicate the experiences of an in-person event. Rolling out new features and products is a strategic way for the company to further its success in the events and meetings industry and provide a seamless attendee experience. To know more about the new feature, visit the website www.eventdex.com or e-mail us at sales@eventdex.com. Eventdex is a US-based event app company that offers tools for registration, event management, agenda creation, surveys, notifications, and more. These mobile applications are available for iOS and Android devices, which allow attendees to access event information remotely. Eventdex also provides other solutions such as business matchmaking and lead retrieval.
