Advanced registration that adapts to attendees, exhibitors, and speakers

Generate smart meetings based on interests during your hosted buyer event

Create different registration experiences for your audiences with multi-path conditional logic

Attendees see their questions, exhibitors get booth selection, speakers upload bios, and VIPs see exclusive sessions. Advanced conditional logic adapts based on ticket type, membership status, or previous answers.

Automate your scheduling management with Swapcard’s Hosted Buyer Platform

Empower exhibitors to manage their own logistics

Exhibitors register booth staff, handle substitutions, upload materials, and purchase add-ons—without emailing your team. All data flows directly to the Swapcard Exhibitor Lead Center so exhibitors can start capturing leads the moment they arrive.

Attendees can select the profiles they are most interested in during hosted buyer events

Stop revenue leaks with automated member verification

Stop relying on the honor system for member discounts. Launchpad validates membership status via promo codes, conditional logic, or AMS integration (iMIS, YourMembership, etc.) and applies correct pricing automatically.
