### Attendee Tracking

Crowd Connected is an attendee tracking solution aimed at conferences or conventions. Designed to be easy to deploy, it tracks session attendance without any need for active scanning or contact with attendees. - No need for badge scanning staff or expensive equipment. - Organizers can access the attendance data in real time, ready to share with stakeholders as required. - Attendees enjoy a better event experience with no friction or waiting in line. Hardware components The solution consists of a cloud-based console and hardware deployment consisting of battery powered beacons, a plug-in gateway requiring just ethernet and power points, plus wearable BLE tags. Each software license typically includes as many beacons as required for the deployment. It is costed out on a per tag basis. One gateway is typically required per floor being tracked. The gateway will be plugged in near or at the conference registration desk. Onsite considerations The solution is compatible with any registration system as it doesn't require any software integration. Instead, the tags are paired with badge data via a physical double scan - via the Crowd Connected smartphone app - at the point of registration. This typically takes 3-4 seconds per attendee and can be carried out by the badge issuing staff member. Once the attendee has registered and entered the event with their badge and tag, they are able to freely wander in and out of every session room, with no staff member required to scan their badge. Meanwhile the organizer will have almost real-time access to session attendance data for every conference session, either during or after the event.

Virtual event platforms enable organizations to plan, manage, and host online events that replicate the engagement, interactivity, and value of in-person experiences. These platforms support a wide range of event formats, including conferences, trade shows, association meetings, and job fairs, and provide flexible tools for both fully virtual and hybrid events.

**Core capabilities of virtual event platforms**

Virtual event platforms typically include:

- Webcasting and webinar integrations, either built-in or via connections with [webinar software](https://www.g2.com/categories/webinar)
- [Event registration, ticketing](https://www.g2.com/categories/event-registration-ticketing?source=search), and payment processing tools
- Agenda and session management for multi-track or multi-day events
- Engagement features like live Q&A, polls, chat, breakout rooms, and one-to-one networking
- Sponsor and exhibitor booth functionality to replicate expo-style experiences
- Mobile accessibility through cross-device support and dedicated [mobile event apps](https://www.g2.com/categories/mobile-event-apps?source=search)
- Post-event analytics and reporting to track performance
- Integrations with CRM, marketing automation, and collaboration platforms to support the full event lifecycle

**Use cases for virtual event platforms**

Organizations use virtual event platforms to host large-scale conferences, summits, or expos that reach global audiences without geographical limitations. They are also commonly adopted by associations to support member meetings and networking opportunities, by employers to organize career fairs and recruitment events, and by companies to run customer enablement or partner training programs. These platforms are particularly valuable for delivering branded and immersive digital experiences that need networking, content sharing, and sponsor visibility.

**How virtual event platforms differ from other solutions**

Virtual event platforms differ from event management platforms, which are primarily focused on in-person logistics such as venue booking, catering, and on-site check-ins. While event management tools excel in physical event operations, virtual event platforms specialize in digital-first experiences that replicate the interactivity and networking found at in-person events. They are also distinct from webinar software, which is usually limited to single-session presentations. Virtual event platforms extend beyond this by supporting multi-track agendas, exhibitor booths, and advanced networking. Similarly, unlike video conferencing tools that are built for smaller meetings and collaboration, virtual event platforms are designed for large-scale, branded environments that deliver immersive and scalable event experiences.

**Market outlook**

The global virtual events market is expected to expand significantly, driven by hybrid event adoption and cost efficiencies of digital formats. Many event organizers now include a virtual or hybrid component in their long-term strategies, highlighting the staying power of these solutions.

To qualify for inclusion in the Virtual Event Platforms category, a product must:

- Allow event organizers to host live or on-demand video content through built-in webcasting capabilities or integrations
- Provide attendee engagement features such as Q&A, polls, group chat, and one-to-one networking
- Include event registration and payment processing, or integrate with event registration tools
- Support each stage of the event lifecycle, from registration and marketing to post-event analytics and feedback
- Scale according to the quantity, size, type, and complexity of online events
