What matters for conferences

Your attendee data

Some platforms market other events to your buyers. Check who owns the attendee list and whether you can export every field you collect.

Tiers, add-ons and questions

Early bird, team packs, workshops and dinner tickets, plus the questions you need for badges and dietary needs.

Integrations

Your CRM, email tool and badge printer need the data. A free API and webhooks beat a paid connector.

Moving mid-cycle

Switching platforms between years is safest. Ask for help moving last year’s attendees and ticket types.
