Pre-Event Networking

Our apps are an easy way to share pre-event information with your attendees. Use push notifications to introduce keynotes they won’t want to miss or explain your registration and badging process ahead of time.

Nurture small group interactions

Use our virtual event platform to facilitate audience engagement through high quality small group discussions.

Virtual Round Tables

Deepen connections by facilitating online face-to-face interactions. Invite small groups of like-minded individuals to a virtual workshop or a dynamic roundtable discussion.

Virtual Lounges

Create one or multiple lounges to encourage spontaneous discussions around trending topics. Add a topic, posts, images, videos, and a live forum to each lounge.

Foster individual connections

We support in-person events, virtual events and hybrid events, so event organizers can provide exhibitors and attendees with a variety of opportunities to engage with each other.

Comprehensive Attendee Profiles

Provide in-person and virtual attendees with detailed profiles that include their name, social media handles, website, headshot, and interests.

Tag-based Event Matchmaking

Facilitate meaningful connections between attendees. Our algorithm will connect them based on criteria such as common interests or networking goals. Attendees will also receive connection suggestions based on shared interests.

Ad-Hoc Chats & Meetings

Attendees can send out connection requests directly from their computer or their mobile app. Once connected they can use the chat function to get to know each other or request a meeting for a more in-depth conversation. Bonus: Once attendees are connected, they will stay connected at the next event they participate in!

Send Out Post-Event Surveys

A post-event survey will not only help you evaluate your event but will help you better plan future events.

FAQ

It is a set of tools that turn audiences into active participants, online or on site. You can spark pre-event buzz with networking parties and push notifications, then keep momentum with speed networking, round tables, lounges, polls, Q&A, and gamification. Because everything lives in one platform, attendees discover people and content faster and return more value to sponsors.

Use pre-event networking and targeted push notifications to warm up the audience. Offer a free or paid networking party so people meet early, then send app notifications that preview keynotes and clarify registration and badging. Attendees arrive informed and already connected, which shortens icebreakers on day one and helps VIP sessions fill without last-minute scrambling.

Host virtual round tables for face-to-face discussions and spin up topic-based lounges for ongoing threads. Each lounge can include posts, images, videos, and a live forum, so conversations keep moving between sessions. This structure creates space for focused dialogue and serendipitous chats, deepening connections without complicated setup or extra software.

Detailed profiles list names, headshots, interests, social links, and websites, making discovery simple. Tag-based matchmaking suggests relevant people based on shared interests or goals, and attendees can send connection requests from desktop or mobile. After connecting, they can chat or schedule a meeting, and connections persist for future events to compound relationship value.

Points-based challenges add playful competition to key behaviors you want to encourage. Build scavenger hunts or trivia, reward session attendance, asset downloads, or livestream viewing, and highlight progress on a live leaderboard. Sponsors can donate prizes or run branded challenges, creating new revenue angles while keeping traffic moving across booths and sessions.

Attach polls to sessions for instant sentiment, let exhibitors run booth polls, and keep rooms lively with app-based live polling. Enable Q&A to surface audience questions for speakers or exhibitors in real time. Post-event surveys capture lessons learned, helping you refine topics and formats while giving stakeholders measurable feedback on what resonated.

Yes. You can designate sessions for continuing education (CE) credit, set minimum watch times, and let the system track attendance automatically. Learners monitor progress on a gamification board in the Virtual Events Lobby, which keeps them focused on requirements. This alignment of engagement and tracking simplifies audits and turns learning milestones into motivating moments.

Planners use the Admin app to broadcast push notifications in bulk, promote keynotes or games, and DM attendees, exhibitors, or sponsors on the go. Attendees use the event app to browse agendas, network, answer polls, play challenges, and submit questions. With both sides connected, you coordinate quickly and participants stay engaged between sessions.

Monitor sessions viewed, view time by session, completed challenges, and survey responses to see what lands. Comparing topics and speakers highlights where interest peaks, while challenge data shows which incentives drive movement. Integrations let you export engagement to your customer relationship management (CRM) system for personalized follow-ups, so sales and marketing can act on precise behavior signals.

The same features power in-person, virtual, and hybrid events, so you do not juggle separate systems. Use networking, lounges, and gamification to connect people in any setting, then reinforce interaction with polls, Q&A, and meetings. Because registration, streaming, and analytics are connected, you deliver a coherent journey from signup to post-event nurture.

An event engagement platform gives attendees ways to participate instead of just watching, such as live polls, Q&A, chat, networking, meetings, and gamification, and gives organizers data on what people engaged with. Accelevents runs these tools inside the same platform as registration, the event app, and the virtual event hub, so engagement data stays tied to each attendee record.

Give them something to do in every session and between sessions. In the Accelevents virtual event hub, attendees chat, answer live polls, and ask questions alongside each session, join round tables, breakout rooms, and topic lounges between sessions, and earn points on a gamification leaderboard. Tag-based matchmaking suggests people to meet, and attendees can connect and book 1:1 meetings.
