In-person Events

Where It Shines

  • Unlimited events, registrations and attendees; team seats are the only thing we count
  • An event app on attendees' phones with nothing to download: agenda, session booking, messaging and their ticket QR
  • Lead retrieval on exhibitors' own phones, with no charge from us per scanner or per lead
  • Badges designed in real millimetres, printed from the dashboard or at a self-service Badge Kiosk
  • Check-in on any phone or tablet with one link and a PIN

What Gets Counted

Credits There.
Seats Here.

A 1,000-attendee conference, counted two ways.

eventcloud Counts

Team seats

Events, registrations and attendees are never counted, and we take 0% of your ticket revenue.

Webex Events Counts

Attendee credits

Pricing is quote-only and credit-based: roughly 1,000 attendee credits for this event, plus added cost for a Branded App and on-site hardware.

Both take 0% ticket commission, so the difference is the model: eventcloud counts your team; Webex Events is a quote with a credit pool and add-ons. Its branded native app and booth metrics are genuine strengths for large trade shows.

The Event App

An Event App with Nothing to Download.

Webex Events builds a native app, at added cost. Ours opens in the phone's browser: attendees sign in with an emailed link or their ticket code, and there is no store listing to wait for and nothing to install.

  • Agenda and My Agenda: every session by day, plus the ones each attendee saved or booked
  • Session booking: free or paid sessions, booked straight from the agenda
  • Messaging: one-to-one chat between attendees, found by name or company
  • Ticket QR: on the profile screen, ready for the door
  • Lead retrieval: exhibitors scan attendees with their own phones, rate and qualify each lead, and export to Excel

Fair Questions

Webex Events vs eventcloud, Answered.

What is Webex Events known for?

Its true branded native app, with its own App Store listing, and booth metrics, both strengths for large, sponsor-heavy trade shows. eventcloud's attendee app is a web app on the phone with nothing to download; coming soon: push notifications in it, so tell us what you would send. Lead retrieval comes with every seat: exhibitors use their own phones to scan the QR code on each attendee's badge or in their event app, rate and qualify each lead, and export their leads to Excel. No charge from us per scanner or per lead. You decide whether exhibitors get it with their pass or buy it at checkout for a price you set.

Is eventcloud a good fit for conferences?

Yes, conferences are what it is built for. Each delegate type gets its own registration form, price schedule and confirmation email, delegates book their sessions as they register, badges are designed in real millimetres and printed from the dashboard or at a self-service kiosk, and door staff check people in from any phone or tablet. See how it works for conferences.

Is Webex Events the same as Socio?

Yes, Socio was acquired by Cisco and rebranded Webex Events. (It is separate from Cisco's older ‘Webex Events / Webinars’ meeting product.)

Do both charge per ticket?

Neither takes a ticket commission: both are 0% and run payments through your own Stripe. The difference is the model: eventcloud counts team seats; Webex Events is a quote-only, credit-based licence.

Can I see Webex Events pricing online?

No, it is quote-only and licensed by credits (attendees, streaming hours, branded apps). eventcloud's per-seat price is published on our pricing page, and attendees are never counted.
