Just For Laughs ComedyPRO - Hybrid Industry Conference

BuzzCast pivoted quickly to understand the needs of Just For Laughs - Montréal, an international renowned comedy festival and industry event. They were adept at finding new ways to deliver and maximize their platform for our unique needs. I have every confidence they would be able to do this for any company needing to host an online event, conference, etc.

PROS

The BuzzCast platform was excellent in every way. The platform is sleek and easy to use, both the backend and the UX. The entire team at BuzzCast is supportive and works hard to make your event a complete success. Our event received many compliments due to the ease of use of the platform and how good it looked. Building and deploying the conference was made easy by the expertise and hard-working BuzzCast staff. This year marked our first foray into hybrid events, filming live in venues and streaming to the site, using their Video on Demand feature for past content, and scheduling & hosting meetings between delegates. Not only did BuzzCast provide us support on the design and use of the platform, but their streaming [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was also a huge support in making sure every live stream and the pre-tapped shows went up smoothly. BuzzCast has made us confident in the success of future hybrid events.

CONS

Truly. there was nothing not to like, all around a great company and platform to work with.

Vendor Response

Great Product with Value Packed Functionality

Great customer service and a very capable platform

PROS

I like the well rounded feature set that Buzzcast provides. It makes available, if needed all of the features that are needed to assist with virtual meetings, including speaker biographies, attendee information, exhibitor support and breakout rooms.

CONS

The only con is that it tends to be on the higher side of the cost equation. That said, you get what you pay for and it has a lot of value

Reason for choosing BuzzCast

It's ability to handle large programs with full HD video.

Vendor Response

Ken! Thank You so much for taking the time to review the BuzzCast platform. We all love working you and the talented team at CT, we value our partnership very much. We look forward to an exciting Q3 & Q4 together.

Extensive Virtual Event / Online Conference Platform

BuzzCast is a great way to drive marketing and customer excitement and awareness. Events deliver deeper customer and partner connections and result directly in conversations leading to sales growth.

PROS

The BuzzCast platform is super polished, and your events look amazing. They make it easy to set up live online video streams, presentations, and prerecorded videos and integrate them into your event. You can customize the look & feel to stay on-brand, and with sponsor booths, posters, breakout rooms, etc., BuzzCast is much more than just a spiffed-up webinar or Zoom room and offers numerous ways to connect with attendees in small groups or 1-on-1 with both text and video chat. BuzzCast also has a great team who support you during setup and throughout your event. All your live video presentation content can be captured and made available for attendees and others after the event ends.

CONS

There is not much to dislike about BuzzCast - there is always room for improvement, but the platform is well-designed and extremely reliable and scalable: NO DROPPED VIDEO!

Vendor Response

Hey Bruce K! We love hearing from awesome happy customers like you! and just like you said; one of our favorite things about BuzzCast is NO DROPPED VIDEO !! We are so proud of our tech and our team and to be lucky enough to work with skilled, talented and kind people such as yourself. Thank You. The BuzzCast Team

An ideal online festival host

Could not have been more positive. As someone who is new to online hosting (as so many of us are in 2021), I was nervous going in. But the personal attention and human-to-human approach the Buzzcast team has to working with their clients got rid of that very quickly. By the time the festival went up I was confident in the platform we'd built with Buzzcast, and genuinely excited to show it off to our pass holders. It's sleek and easy to to use while packing a big punch when it comes to hosting, streaming, and event management.

PROS

Excellent design and support from the team of programmers that run Buzzcast. They really do enable you to build and customize a comprehensive online festival while making the process accessible to you and making the platform itself easy and satisfying for ticket holders actually attending the festival.

CONS

The only thing that got in the way was the inability for pass holders to buy tickets on Buzzcast itself, but with the company never having handled external sales before, this is certainly something they are already working to incorporate.

Vendor Response

Thank You so much for this kind and thoughtful review Curtis - we are so pleased you and the JFL team we're happy with our work. It was a true delight to work with all of you - LET'S DO IT AGAIN!! and next time we'll have a ticketing solution for you you're gonna love!

BuzzCast+BuzzLab Facilitated an Incredible Event!

Truly amazing team that took on our goals and did whatever needed to make it all happen.

PROS

I was impressed with how hands-on the BuzzCast/BuzzLab team was. Working with our team sometimes around the clock to facilitate a truly unique experience.

CONS

Would be great to have more access to make changes directly (a feature I think is currently in process).

Reason for choosing BuzzCast

Higher touch, very responsive, and a great partners. Many of the other platforms were unresponsive and couldn't answer some basic questions about platform functionality.

Reasons for switching to BuzzCast

Needed something that was more personalized and high-end and BuzzCast/BuzzLab did not disappoint.

Vendor Response

Caitlyn M. Thank You so much for your wonderful & kind review! All of us here at BuzzCast said the same thing about you and your team too - an absolute pleasure to work with.

BuzzCast & National Academy of Sports Medicine

[SENSITIVE CONTENT], and the whole BuzzCast team, was an absolute pleasure to work with as we quickly transitioned from an in-person event to virtual. The BuzzCast process and team of experienced professionals streamlined my teams execution efforts- allowing both our teams to efficiently divide and conquer. The overall success of our first virtual event with the BuzzCast team is in the numbers. With over 15,000 attendees logging in to view 100+ educational sessions over the prior year of just 648 attendees (in person event)- our brand was able to reach a much larger set of audiences with our rich educational content that our customers value. Having BuzzCast as a partner is critical for businesses looking for a professional, easy to navigate, virtual experience that allows the subject matter or content to be the focus.

PROS

The software was specifically designed to provide an elegant, stripped down virtual event framework that is content forward and therefore a perfect solution for our content heavy events

CONS

I did not have any complaints or concerns about this software

Vendor Response

Amanda M, THNK YOU so very much for taking the time to review us. We loved working with you and the whole team on the NASM 'Optima' event. Together we just won IBA's Gold "Stevie' Award for best Educational Conference 2021 for that event. So Thank You Amanda. We are so looking forward to creating award winning events with you in the future.
