Unlocking the power of data: Informa Tech and Swapcard
"Swapcard's data collection platform has saved my team about two weeks of work per event."
Patrick Shields
Director of Customer Success, Informa Tech
The Game Developers Conference (GDC), hosted by Informa Tech, a renowned event empowering game developers and their craft, returned to San Francisco in March 2023 with an extraordinary turnout, attracting double the registered attendees, over 1,000 speakers, 330 exhibitors, and 700 sessions.
Recognizing the importance of data-driven decision-making, Informa Tech partnered with Swapcard to streamline event data and extract valuable insights. Swapcard's data-collection capabilities saved the Informa Tech team two weeks of laborious manual work, ensuring accurate and comprehensive metrics for GDC.
By leveraging the power of data analysis, organizers gained a better understanding of the attendee journey, allowing them to fine-tune strategies and enhance the conference experience year after year. This information not only measured success and increased ROI but also fostered stronger connections among attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors.
