The essentials for organizing your virtual event

Recommended timing: 60 to 90 days pre-event

Once you’ve requested a demo on our website, one of the AppyFair team will give you a quick call to learn exactly what you’re looking for so we can cater the demo to you! We’ll make sure that your event dates are available (we organize a maximum of 5 events on 1 day so that we can guarantee excellent quality support). This is why we recommend that you contact us as far in advance as possible!

After your call, your AppyFair contact will send you a series of documents which present the platform, customized to your project.

Your AppyFair contact will give you a demo of the platform, adapted to your event project, and answer all your questions. We’ll use this as the opportunity to gather all the essential information about your project, and show you all the options available to you.

Based on your project, we’ll put together a bespoke proposal for you, which we’ll send across alongside contractual documents, data protection information and individual role responsibilities.

You’ll send your project manager a complete brief detailing your every need. They’ll then get in contact with you to make further preparations and to make sure that every need is met!

In under 48 hours from your first chat with your project manager, we’ll set up your event. You’ll receive a confirmation email when it’s ready inviting you to create a user account via a temporary registration form.

As soon as your account has been verified, you’ll be assigned as an ‘organizer’. You can then schedule a training session with your project manager who will teach you how the platform and its back-office work.

Create your different event spaces – rooms, conferences, exhibitor booths – and make them public on your event showcase website. Customize this website, add the features of your choice and invite your exhibitors, moderators and speakers to create their accounts. Before you do so, remember to personalize the registration confirmation emails!

When your exhibitors and partners have created their accounts, you can assign them specific roles by allocating them to existing spaces. An exhibitor would be assigned a booth, for example, or a moderator a chatroom role. You can allocate a user as many roles as they need.

Recommended timing: 35 days pre-event

If you’ve chosen this option, once all the exhibitors have created their profiles it’s time to schedule a training webinar. Your project manager will show them the platform and it’s many features, including all the possibilities for booth customization.

Once the exhibitors have assigned their booths, they can edit their attendance schedule from their AppyFair calendars so that they’re publicly viewable on the event’s website. This means future attendees can book appointments with them.

During the event, you will be able to send public announcements to your attendees via notifications. To make your life easier, you can prepare these announcements in advance, and schedule sending!
