If you do large online events, this is the MUST have tool!

I just love it, the platform is simple and intuitive to use, the support team is always helpful. On top of that there's a fairly active community to get help and ideas.

PROS

This is a simple, yet powerful and elegant solution to manage any large event, from one central place you control the whole process, and if you use any of the platforms that are integrated with Heysummit the process is transparent. If, not, you can always use the API to connect to the platform of your choice. I've tried other platforms to manage events, and this is by far the one I like the most.

CONS

Is not flexible enough to personalize yet. (more personalize options are being added)

Perfect Tool

We needed something that integrated well with Remo for a conference we were planning. Even though we hired an event planner that recommended using it, none of us had any prior conference experience. Being so easy to build took a lot off of our plate.

PROS

An easy-to-build website for your event that is much more sophisticated than Eventbrite. It allowed us to showcase speakers, schedule, sell tickets, and more.

CONS

Wish there was a bit more customization available, but overall it is what it is and gets the job done.

Reason for choosing HeySummit

Seemed a lot more sophisticated and was its own landing page.

HeySummit is getting better with new features

It was an excellent replacement for in-person events during COVID and we are still finding it valuable with hybrid events and even just in-person events to use for registration.

PROS

We can clone events without having to go back and change all the default adjustments again. For a LONG time we were unable to manage attendees very well, with their latest updates we can at least help attendees with login issues and view their receipts.

CONS

The UI navigation has been changed several times and it is still not very user friendly.

Reason for choosing HeySummit

The amount of time we had to get an event deployed was minimal, we did not have an investment of time to deploy our own custom-built solution.

A solid platforms for hosting different types of virtual events

PROS

As someone who has organized virtual summits in the past, before tools like HeySummit were available, I want to highlight two features that not only are my favorite ones, but that also address two key aspects of hosting an online event. The first one is talk management. Since content is at the core of a digital event, it's important to try to provide value and create a great user experience. With HeySummit, you can manage different kinds of talks (including live or pre-recorded), and even connect to popular video platforms such as Vimeo, Wistia, YouTube, Vidyard and Dubb, just to mention a few. Then, there's the speaker dashboard. What I like about it is the fact that it's an excellent way to manage speakers while also giving them the opportunity to promote themselves by having a professional-looking dashboard and page with all the key information – including their affiliate link.

CONS

While HeySummit does come with a landing page feature, I have to say that it gives you limited customization power – that's why, a few events I've seen organized through HeySummit have ended up having pretty much the same kind of layout and concept (talking about being unique...).

Best in class of one!

Most importantly, we can have all best practice processes for event production while having complete control over attendee ownership.

PROS

I initially joined the training on HeySummit just prior to the global pandemic situation and took part in a training that connected me to several virtual event experts. There is a lot of experience and thought that went into the conceptualizing of this product and customer service is fast, proactive and solves issues at light speed. We have several use cases for HeySummit - from virtual live events, to evergreen summits and video content deposits for our communities. For each of these use cases, HeySummit serves us well with bringing event user interfaces to market fast. The solution focuses on helping event producers to adhere to best practices while integrating with other relevant platforms for video streaming or webinar hosting. So we can have the best of all worlds. We have not found a comparable solution.

CONS

We'd enjoy for more customization options on the event front page. While the software does a great job in English for some languages, the translation automations don't work perfectly. However, both of these topics are addressed. Instead of directing us to a roadmap, we can get involved in helping translate the back- and front-end. There is not a week without a new feature helping virtual event producers.

Thrilled in running my first virtual conference

As shared I only learned of HeySummit six weeks or so before I created my event. While I've used various platforms before it was either as a ticketing site or a website in terms of anything comparable. I was able to in this timeframe with the tools they offered, the support from their team and the Facebook group offer a seamless and great experience for my attendees.

PROS

To begin I launched my first virtual summit in six weeks and achieved this using Hey Summit's platform. Some of the features I liked most: speaker submissions via a direct link on the page, the auto population of the schedule and bios of speakers and their talks, the number of plug and play aspects eg. affiliate program, general analytics on referrals of attendees - and definitely the Hey Summit support team. The latter made all the difference.

CONS

There were a few features that were not immediately intuitive such as setting the date for your summit is tied to adding your first talk, the speaker login process or navigating where to change certain settings.

Reason for choosing HeySummit

Through a simple google search a video popped up by someone providing a review of the HeySummit product. I liked the features and decided to continue working with the platform. I'm already planning two more, with HeySummit!

Vendor Response

Hello Bridget - thank you for your awesome review! We are so thrilled that you had a great experience with HeySummit running your first virtual summit.

Heysummit works great for virtual events with 25+ speakers.

PROS

It's simple to use and my events always run smoothly

CONS

Issue with attendees Logging in; they find it difficult since they keep going in a loop of confirming their login through their email, multiple times in a row. I feel this is unnecessary. Once they login, it should recognize them at least for a minimum of 48-72 hours. This would avoid repeating the login between each session.

Reason for choosing HeySummit

It was easier to use and maintain.

Platform great, but have a few recommendations

PROS

Our event, Champions For Science, was a huge success due to your platform, with its easy Zoom integration, ticket options, and speaker dashboards. Loved how we could customize some phrases and the landing page was so easy to use and looks spectacular!

CONS

1. Request: Add an email that enables you to add an attachment for a "completion certificate". 2. Correction: The event wrap-up email says it's delivered to attendees, which makes me think ticket holders, when in fact it's delivered to ALL who have added email to site. 3. Correction: The email that says they've paid needs to offer a receipt with more information about what person has purchased, especially since they may need to get reimbursement and the email shares nothing. For this event, I had to create "Paid" reciepts to send so teachers could get reimbursed. 4. Correction: Wording used on site saying "good to go" after they have registered confuses MANY, and they think they are now in the event. It needs to be clarified better that they can view sessions, but still need to purchase a ticket. In the US, when we "register" for something, that means we now have full access. 5. Request: Have a separate component for the landing page where hosts can feature keynote speakers only. 6. Request: Speakers should be able to add their own media files such as handouts/pdfs to their talks. 7. Request: Email template that should be sent out 1 week before event to folks who have registered, but have not checked out reminding them that they still have yet to purchase a ticket. 8. Request: Add a survey option we could send to attendees so hosts could get feedback for future events.

Champaign product for beer budgets! (But don't expect it to be what it isn't)

This product is perfect if you are doing summits, if you are jerryrigging for other events, expect to be a little frustrated. Even though they promote being usable for everything, it really is designed for a income generating sales summit. We got it to work for a one day conference with a bit of massaging and settling. The plus is it is plug and play, the minus is it is plug and play. If you don't like something you can't expect to change it. FYI. Customer service was very good (ended up reaching out more than expected because their online guidance is average).

PROS

It was plug and play; really easy to learn and once you uploaded key information, the system did the rest for you. With a little extra poking around, found ways to customize for my needs.

CONS

Needs more flexibility. Some of the email templates have frozen items that just don't apply to our event. Also, can't send any custom emails, no matter how simple. The language they use is very informal, which doesn't mix with all of our clients. Wish I could also change some of the templated layout, some things just didn't make sense where user would look for information, for example, the "media" section is burried and file name length too short. Also, session description too far down on the page. The social assets feature was a tease. It would have been great if it worked, but the art it created was unuseable; didn't even match brand colors.

Reason for choosing HeySummit

The user interface was very good and the price point, excellent. The learning curve was very quick too. The fact that you could test it for 2 weeks was the BIG SELLING POINT. Most people don't even let you see the back end in their demos.

Vendor Response

Thank you, Laura, for taking the time to review and provide your feedback. Pleased to hear your thoughts on the ease of use and value for money of our platform. We agree with your input that platform flexibility, custom emails, and online guidance could be improved. We are working on adding these exact features and improvements to the platform. I will also make sure to pass along your feedback regarding the social assets. Thanks for choosing HeySummit!

Easy to use and navigate

Not being a technical person it has solved all the automated emailing issues, setting up ticket sales and gives so many options so that each summit can be slightly different. It has also saved me so much time on setting all of the above up myself and money as I would have had to gotten outside help for this. By allowing the speakers to sign in and enter their details it also enables me to concentrate on the marketing side of things and gives a certain amount of responsibility to the speaker. The affiliate program is an awesome idea to encourage the speakers to advertise the events too as so many times they want to have their say but not assist in marketing the events.

PROS

Hey Summit had thought of pretty much everything for setting up and running a summit to make it easy. People , like myself who may not be all that technical, should not be afraid to use Hey Summit. It was really easy to navigate my way around and for the speakers who signed in to place their details on the dashboard too. From the email templates that go out automatically to the option to be able to giveaway prizes, offers and freebies and the affiliates program, it give lots of options for myself and the speakers to add extras to their talks. The Customer Support team have been great, and have always gotten back to me within 24hrs of me sending an email.

CONS

My main "gripe" would the flexibility of the landing page - mainly the colouring: 1 - It would be nice to have font colours optional and not just black 2 - It would be nice to have a coloured background and not just white Other than that there isn't anything too negative for me to say as it was a really well thought out product.

Dream Team

My experience with HeySummit has been great. My attendees love the platform. Other summit hosts whom I've referred to HeySummit have enjoyed using it as well.

PROS

I've found HeySummit platform to one of the best virtual summit platforms available. I've done several virtual summits since 2017 with hundreds of registrants. Before HeySummit I had several moving parts from Clickfunnels to payment gateways to Zoom to graphic designs to digital marketing. With HeySummit I'm able to simplify this entire process! In addition I get great analytics about my marketing performance. On top of a great platform is the HeySummit team. While I'm on the east coast of the US their responsiveness to my requests and questions have always been quick. In addition, the Slack community is active and vibrant with collaboration among other users and HeySummit team.

CONS

There are (2) things I'd like to see improvement. First is integration to ActiveCampaign to capture registration info. The other is graphics. I'm NOT a designer. While HeySummit provides graphics I'd love the ability to either change the designs or have it integrate with Canva.

Reason for choosing HeySummit

I attended MissingLettr's virtual summit in 2018 which was hosted on HeySummit. At the time I didn't realize HeySummit was a new platform MissingLettr had created. I enjoyed it so much until I purchased it a few months later.

Hi Michele, thanks so much for your review and happy to have you in the HeySummiteers community on Slack!
