vFairs

Avantages

The customization capabilities, and control for email communication customizations pre, during, and post event. It's a nice elevated event experience for attendees.

Inconvénients

The production turnaround time for certain features and graphic modifications. We were dissapointed to find out that a vFairs developer had to do the graphic updates/changes. We had to wait 1-2 days for that to get done. We were hoping to be able to control that, so it's a quicker turnaround update for our attendees, which really impacts the event outcome.

Avantages

First time around with V-Fair and the entire process went perfect. From initial set up of allowances to actual staff being present for registration of our customers. Each V-Fair associate was professional and attentive to our needs.

Inconvénients

More training for our associates and vendors. When something is new, there is hesitation. Must create a user-friendly approach to this new technology.

Avantages

To say the support received is the best would be a gross understatement. Many products and platforms offer exciting and engaging virtual experiences but the individualized and immediate support we receive with vFairs has left us totally impressed.

Inconvénients

We are able to customize several aspects of the platform but there are a few minor items that would help ensure a flawless event. Nothing critical but as an example, a hybrid admin/attendee persona would be helpful for us.

Avantages

Our association has wanted to utilize a conference app for several years. However, the financial costs and time needed to effectively manage an app kept us from moving forward. That all changed when we were introduced to vFairs. They worked with us on securing a price that we could afford and offered a dedicated team to assist with app construction, organization, and deployment. Ammemah was WONDERFUL to work with. She had a great team that was highly attentive to our needs, provided clear and timely feedback/responses, and met with our planning team on a regular basis. The app was a big hit with our conference attendees and we look forward to making it even better next year!

Inconvénients

The only con to vFairs was that we didn't find it sooner

Avantages

The platform was appreciated greatly by our audience, and we received positive feedback throughout a consequent survey sent to everyone. In the setup phase the team from vFairs and especially [sensitive content hidden] our PM was very responsive and welcoming to any of our requests. When we requested a new feature it was seen as a new feature to develop for the platform, which we felt was a very fair way to work.

Avantages

We are planning a first year conference in a virtual environment. vFAIRS has been there every step of the way with us, even though we've been working out a lot of logistical details on our end. Their professionalism and patience has been invaluable in bringing this event to life. Our account rep [sensitive content hidden] has been extremely responsive and helpful with all of our questions.

Inconvénients
