Global Industrie has become the industry trade show of note in France. We gather 2,500 exhibitors and 45,000-50,000 attendees each year. The reason we moved towards a digital event was to offer an alternative to a physical edition that could not take place.

Head of Product, Swapcard

The Global Industrie organizing team wanted to provide an engaging, valuable experience to their exhibitors with an all-in-one platform that captured all their data and ROI in real-time. They made the decision to become data-driven and it paid off.

Our support team accompanied them from inception to execution and even beyond, throughout the transition to virtual and the training for speakers and organizer staff. We provided them with a dedicated project manager as well as a tech manager to ensure they had everything they needed to pull off a successful online event.
