Objective

ConferenceDirect stands as a frontrunner in collaborating with tailored event management and technology providers to deliver unforgettable, customized meetings and events. Driven by the mission to provide clients with seamless technology and event management solutions, ConferenceDirect favors point solutions for various aspects like registration, marketing, hotel management, badging, virtual platforms, and mobile applications.

The Annual Partner Meeting (APM) by ConferenceDirect is a flagship internal event annually, amalgamating all associates and partners. Built on the pillars of recognition, networking, and education, this event posed a challenge: facilitating pre-scheduled meetings and appointments between associates and partners.

The requirement encompassed both one-on-one appointments and group meetings, all within an easily navigable user experience. Past experiences saw ConferenceDirect struggle with user-unfriendly solutions, both on the attendee front and backend.

Solution

Adhering to ConferenceDirect's preference for seamlessly integrated point-solutions, Stova's services proved an impeccable fit within their event technology ecosystem. Stova's offerings not only blend seamlessly with other providers but also came with top-tier support. The reliability of Stova's service brought peace of mind to ConferenceDirect, knowing that expert assistance would swiftly address any issues, minimizing event disruptions.

The testimonial from ConferenceDirect highlighted the exceptional quality of Stova's support team, attesting to their responsiveness, solutions-driven approach, creativity, and attentiveness to clients' needs. The user-friendliness of Stova's platform, both for attendees and on the backend, played a pivotal role in ensuring smooth operation. ConferenceDirect applauded the platform's effectiveness, its glitch-free and rapid functionality, from registration to mobile app and the crucial appointment scheduling tool.

The platform's reporting functionality was highlighted for its efficiency, facilitating both pre-populated and customized reports. Customization further extended to branding, as ConferenceDirect harnessed Stova's capabilities to feature customized banners and sponsor logos on the registration website, mobile app, and in the marketing tools, bolster CD’s event's visual identity, increase sponsor loyalty, and provide brand consistency across the board.

Event Success

Utilizing Stova's suite of products led to unprecedented success for ConferenceDirect's APM. Seamlessly integrated components provided a glitch-free technology solution, surpassing expectations. ConferenceDirect also noted that the versatility, accuracy, ease-of-use, and speed demonstrated by Stova's suite are instrumental in achieving a seamless transition across partner events.
