Program results

Deliver results your exhibitors and participants can measure

Programs that succeed long-term do three things well:

Qualify the right buyers, remove operational friction, and convert access into revenue. Swapcard is built to deliver all three.

monetize
Guarantee the meetings that justify exhibitor investment
Track meeting quality, completion rate, and match score, not just volume. GovAI Summit 2025 delivered 100% fulfillment of purchased meeting quotas with a 79% completion rate.
Replace spreadsheets with automated workflows
Scale from 50-person retreats to enterprise trade shows with thousands of meetings, without adding headcount.
Icon
Sell hosted buyer access as a premium, trackable product
Every meeting quota purchased through exhibitor packages is tracked, fulfilled, and reported automatically.
Buyer qualification

Vet and qualify buyers before they arrive

Swapcard registration automates vetting and approval, while advanced scoring and document collection run through external forms (HubSpot, Launchpad) that sync qualified data via API.

Build multi-page application forms with custom fields and conditional logic using In-app or Launchpad registration

Use moderated registration to review applications and accept, reject, or waitlist buyers

Collect qualification data through custom fields (purchasing power, interests, buyer requirements)

For advanced workflows including automated scoring, integrate external qualification forms that sync data via API

Send branded notifications automatically to applicants based on their status

Hosted Buyer Software
Selection-driven scheduling

Let participants choose who they want to meet—then generate the schedule

Swapcard uses participant selection, not forced matching. Buyers and sellers indicate preferences ("Highly interested," "Interested," or "Not interested"), then organizers generate meetings for review.

AI recommends relevant matches based on profile data, behavior, and your matching rules

Configure mutual selection by creating two selection pages (buyers select sellers, sellers select buyers) and prioritizing mutual matches during generation

Generate meetings in draft mode so organizers can review before confirming and sending to participant schedules

Control when selections open or close, and who can select whom using group-based rules

Artificial Intelligence
Swapcard’s Hosted Buyer Platform helps you lay the foundation with event experts to onboard and manage participants, and manage check-in and meeting areas
Person-to-person matching

Match buyers to the right sales representatives, with smart company controls

Swapcard registration automates vetting and approval, while advanced scoring and document collection run through external forms (HubSpot, Launchpad) that sync qualified data via API.

Participants select individual people to meet from a filterable list (can filter by company name, category, and custom fields)

Configure rules to prevent people from the same company meeting multiple people from another company

Set limits so a buyer meets only one individual from a company, even if multiple people from that company were selected

Exhibitor teams can manage incoming meeting requests and assign them to appropriate representatives via the Exhibitor Center

Participants use the mobile app to view meeting locations and wayfinding instructions

Participants mark meetings as "Great / Not great / Was not held" after each meeting to capture real-time feedback

Organizers mark attendance in Studio (attended/absent) for contractual compliance and audit trails

Track no-show incidents via participant feedback or manual attendance marking
