November 2009

Social networking solutions like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter have become important tools for many of our clients. Tradeshow producers are being asked to deliver more value to exhibitors and attendees alike. Failing to come up with new ways to engage your event participants is not an option.

Best Practices in event-based social networking solutions.

Since 2005 we have been working with leading event producers to create powerful, useful, online communities for their event participants. We have built more custom social networking communities around tradeshow events than any other web development firm on this planet. We consistently get 60% opt-in rates from attendees, speakers and exhibitors - almost twice that of many of our competitors.

A little over a year ago we started to get asked for a version of EventMingle that could support multiple events within a single industry and act as the leading online community for that industry between events. We realized after talking with many of our clients, this wasn't going to be some easy EventMingle hack. Creating a useful social networking community for attendees, exhibitors, speakers, buyers, suppliers and press/analyst/bloggers that would become a leading online destination for a specific industry would require thousands of man hours using the best web designers, architects, database and programmers we could find. After a year of planning and development, I'm pleased to announce The EventMingle Community Platform - A complete hosted/managed application designed specifically for the trade show industry.
