It acts as your virtual assistant by keeping you updated on your attendees, their food preferences, their ticket purchases, the sessions they're attending, the leads and contact details they have collected, the one to one meetings secured between attendees, their interest and engagement levels by the activities they're participating in, and many more.

Do you offer annual plans?
Yes, we offer annual plans which you can pay on an annual basis. Since there is no contract to be signed (unless you want to), you can stop paying for your annual plan whenever you want or as soon as your event is concluded.

If you have chosen a plan, you will NOT need credits until you have consumed all items in the plan. Only if you are expecting more submissions and registrants than what is included, you will need to purchase additional credits.

If you have decided to go with the Pay as You Use plan, create a trial account first, then go to the Billing page and purchase credits.
