Laval Virtual used event tech to elevate its trade show

We wanted to bring back the idea of networking before, during and after the show. The other concern was moving towards a paperless event. It was also important for us to be responsive.

Communications Manager, Laval Virtual (organizer)

Knowing that Laval Virtual is a leader in new technologies, it had to have an application that could help journalists find the necessary information, which is my main objective.

The Challenges

Upgraded event tech for an innovative show

As leaders in augmented and virtual reality, Laval Virtual's attendees are tech lovers and users. Laval Virtual needed an app to match their audience's needs and foster connections among participants.

A way to concretely measure exhibitor ROI

Laval Virtual wanted to prove the return on investment for their exhibitors using numbers and stats that would show how many leads they captured, meetings they booked, and more.

Synchronization of all event data

With a large amount of data collected from all participants, Laval Virtual sought to streamline their information in one centralized place and needed to be able to synchronize it between their website and the app.

The features that I love are the ability to share contacts with the team, easily retrieve data and the badge and business card scanner.
