Great CFP tool

This software has made my life 100x easier.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

This software has everything you need to deploy a successful call for papers tool for a large conference. From a user experience perspective it is very easy to navigate and submit your abstract. The blind and double blind feature is great so you don't have to worry about any unconscious bias when reviewers are scoring. This software has the capability to pre-load reviewers and auto assign based on submitter criteria. IT also includes any kind of report you can think of which makes it extremely easy for the administrator of the team.

Cons:

There are no automatic emails except for when the submitter receives a confirmation of final submission.

Vendor Response

Pros:

That the Modules all interact so that you can build one Event that is used all of the components. Example the Conference module also populate the Virtual Module, Mobile Module and Web

Cons:

Gamification is weak, the Meeting Module is cludgy and not well designed.

Vendor Response

Hi Louise! Thanks so much for your feedback. Admittedly, the meeting module is a beast. We are working hard to redesign its logic to be more user friendly. When that time does come, we will reach out for you to test a beta version. Your feedback is crucial to ensuring we meet your needs! Thanks again for being a continued partner.

Transformed our Conference Experience

Before eShow, we were printing out and mailing badges along with having stacks of badges onsite where we had to manually sort through and hand out. It's made our attendee experience incredibly more positive and efficient, while easing the burden on staff needed to manage the event. We love having all the data for the event in one comprehensive system, making it easy to manage all aspects of the event.

Pros:

It's very easy to use and their staff are super helpful with providing training and jumping in to assist. What I loved most is that you can build your event by yourself or they will work hand in hand to build it with you.

Cons:

It's a template based system, which is necessary to deploy this type of solution across so many users. This said, they are willing to customize some things as long as it's within reason.

Vendor Response

Awesome-sauce! Thanks for this glowing review. One of eShow's main missions is EFFICIENCY in event management and production, so we are thrilled to see this is being conveyed. Cheers to a great event and experience all around!

Pros:

eShow has a solid support team. If you have any issues or challenges the ticketing systems works great and questions are answered or issues resolved quickly. Our attendees LOVE the badge management portion of eShow and often request further details.

Cons:

The networking module can be challenging for both the admins and the end users. I've yet to find an appointment system that works intuitively.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that the registration and booth sales has helped streamline your events. However, we do agree on networking and are working hard on that!

Functionality

Pros:

My company had two months to produce a trade show for the Army. It was the first time we had worked on this event and and we have to pivot several times based on the venue and government requirements. eShow was there for me every step of the way. They set up the floor plan, contract, payment processing, and sponsor fulfillment in their exhibition management module quickly so our sales team could begin to sell space. As we learned new things about the venue, the eShow team helped me to adjust / make changes quickly, including flipping the entire floor plan around and renumbering all the booths! Without eShow and my account manager,[sensitive content hidden], we would not have been as successful in our sales efforts as we were. We sold out the show and the client was extremely happy with the trade show.

Cons:

I would improve the exhibitor flow of eShow so they can more easily navigate to each section to complete what they have to do and download receipts.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The registration and exhibitor registration software are very helpful and helped us be able to let our attendees register themselves instead of filling out a form and sending to use to do it manually. We enjoy the eShow staff as well, they are helpful and quick to help solve any issues.

Cons:

In the exhibit software you have to assign a booth before you can get payment for the booths, and we assign the booths in order of priority points, so that is tough, our exhibitors want to pay now, not in a month when we are ready to assign booths.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your honest feedback! While we are so glad that our products have come in handy while planning your event, we are always looking to improve. This information will be passed directly to our development team to discuss solutions to this hardship. We appreciate your review, time and continual partnership- cheers!

Pros:

I like that I can easily customize booths on the floor plan map. I also appreciate that information is readily available on the exhibit dashboard (number of pending, number of assigned, balance due, refunds due, and cancellations) as well as the sales graph.

Cons:

What I like least is how the floor plan displays on web pages. It's difficult to have a large, readable floor plan centered in the middle of the page.

Hi Sammy! Thanks for your constructive feedback! I do not want to be the one to release this too early, but the Floor Plan Management tool is undergoing a HUGE facelift! This will be released in Q3 of this year. I hope with these improvements, you will be pleasantly surprised at its functionality. Looking forward to you using it!!
