Looking for an alternative to Maritz?
Maritz — now including Convention Data Services (CDS) — is the most experienced managed registration services company in the US. But managed services are not a platform. There is no self-serve control, no mobile engagement app, no AI matchmaking, and no exhibitor lead generation technology.
Swapcard is the platform alternative. Self-service. AI-powered. Everything after registration included.

Four reasons organizers seeking self-serve control and full-event engagement choose Swapcard over Maritz
Platform-first, services when you want them.
Swapcard gives organizers the platform to run events independently — with expert support available when you want it, not because the system requires it.
Get beyond check-in
Maritz stops at the door. Swapcard picks up where registration ends, giving attendees a mobile app to network, exhibitors tools to capture leads, and organizers the analytics to understand it all.
AI that qualifies leads during the event
Maritz has no AI matchmaking or lead scoring. Swapcard's behavioral AI drives 2.5x more qualified leads in real time while the event is live.
Organizer revenue model for lead capture
Maritz offers lead retrieval as a separate service. Swapcard lets organizers control exhibitor pricing — turning lead capture into a new revenue stream.
