vFairs platform completely failed to deliver for our event

We approached vFairs with a view to delivering 3 events for us over a 3 month duration. The initial impression of the platform was very good, and whilst aesthetically it looked a little dated, it was technically capable of replicating the key aspects of our events in a virtual environment. However, the reality is that vFairs completely failed to deliver the service and functionality promised. On the day, the platform wasn’t finished; several of the key features didn’t work, and the UX and client experience was completely unacceptable. On a call, a member of staff intimated that in trying to exploit the rush to virtual events (as a result of the Covid pandemic) vFairs have severely over-stretched their capacity. This was certainly reflected in our experience, and it is clear that the resources vFairs allocated to the project has not been adequate. 4 weeks prior to delivery we highlighted severe reservations about our project management, and the UK team (who negotiated the sale) had escalated our concerns to senior management and the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], but despite assurances that additional resources would be committed, they still failed to deliver a functioning platform on the day of the conference.

PROS

Theoretically, vFairs as a platform is able to replicate the key value of our conferences in a virtual environment. It can: 1. host content, presentations, Q&A and panels, 2. facilitate business engagement between buyers and sellers, 3. Provide delegate interaction. The problem is that these functions simply didn’t work properly.

CONS

On the day of the event, the platform wasn’t finished and critical features were missing or dysfunctional: the exhibitor booths were incomplete, the chat function didn’t work properly and the competitions didn’t run as instructed. The content delivery was also unacceptable: vFairs streamed the video content in such low resolution that the text and graphics on many of the slides was illegible, while some speakers were barely recognisable. There was not enough vFairs staff to run the event properly, and those that were in charge of hosting the content weren’t properly briefed and equipped to do their job. The vFairs staff didn’t understand the times and format of the sessions; the presentation videos weren’t ready at the required time, and in multiple cases vFairs staff didn’t even seem to know they were hosting the session. In one instance a vFairs representative announced to one of our clients that not only had they failed to get the video ready, but their bandwidth was so low that they weren’t confident they could download it in time for the session starting. Events are all about the user experience, and unfortunately the functionality and service standards were so poor that the UX was severely compromised.

Vendor Response

Dear Pete, thanks for taking the time to bring this to our attention. We're sorry your experience did not match your expectations. We always aim to deliver a great experience and are gutted when we miss the mark! Your comments have been discussed at length with our project team to ensure this doesn't happen again and that vFairs maintains its standards of great delivery.

vFairs: First Time User

Overall I liked using vFairs from the Admin perspective. It was very easy to set up booths and get exhibitors started on the process. Our customer support representatives [sensitive content hidden]made everything easy, they answered questions, provided post-event reporting that we couldn't find, and expertly lead three training sessions for our exhibitors.

PROS

Ease of setting up booths, rapid response of account representatives [sensitive content hidden], and the look and feel of the Lobby and booths.

CONS

Difficulty navigating the report section and finding the reports we needed; at times it was difficult to find information and "how-to" on the website

Multi-lingual International Conference

The vFairs project team displayed exemplary dedication and professionalism, were knowledgeable not only about their platform, but design and managing virtual events. We were assigned a dedicated project manager who walked us through each phase of the development and ensured tasks were completed on-time. If we had a functionality request that was outside of the box, he would take it to the developers to see how it could be accommodated.

PROS

vFairs has experience developing and managing online events. It is not a start-up company that tried to convert a mobile application to a virtual event platform when the events industry was forced to move face-to-face events to online when COVID hit. There were existing integrations that we were able to take advantage of (Zoom, Interprefy).

CONS

When we used the platform, the manner in which speakers were associated to a session and that sessions had to be built in multiples for a multi-lingual event was labour intensive and cumbersome. We provided this feedback to vFairs, and they indicated that it was something their developers were working to fix.

Reason for choosing vFairs

vFairs offered the option of a fully managed product - from build to implementation, that could be offered in 3 languages and could seamlessly integrate a number of other platforms. They had experience managing complex events, and their business development team worked with us to configure a product that fit within the client's budget.

Vendor Response

Thank you Leeanne for sharing your valuable feedback with us. We are glad that you liked working with us and our team. And yes, the develpoment team is indeed working on improving the sessions' features. Looking forward to working with you again soon!

CONS

I cannot think of anything. The platform is very easy to use.

Reason for choosing vFairs

We have previously used Vfairs and had a great experience. We also know how to add information to the back end so we do not have to learn a new platform.

Second virtual event with VFairs

We have just finished our second virtual trade show in 6 months using the VFairs platform. The project team assigned to our second event, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] were outstanding. They listened to our brief, implemented all our requirements and ensured our event went live on time. On the run up to the event and during the live days both project managers reacted quickly and professionally to any technical questions/requirements from our exhibitors. They also moderated all of our live sessions in the virtual auditorium which were all delivered without any issues and all recordings of our live content were provided swiftly to upload as on demand content for visitors who may have missed a particular session. Even after the live days the project team was still on hand and available to assist with the event which stayed open for a further 30 days. This meant visitors could return to the virtual event at any time to re-visit the exhibition hall(s)or access any of our on demand content in the auditorium which added value to our event and extended exposure for our sponsors, exhibitors and speakers which you wouldn't get with a physical event.

PROS

The seamless visitor journey from registration to attending the event on the live days and being able to log back in to the event for up to 30 days. The virtual event environments can be fully branded which provides additional opportunities for sponsors and exhibitors. Self service option where exhibitors can design and build their own trade stands. They have a selection of stand templates which they can customise and brand themselves to replicate a physical trade stand. The virtual stands also allow exhibitors to upload documents ,videos and add URL links to external content. Data. The VFairs software provides endless amounts of data for exhibitors, including who visited individual stands and contact information which is all GDPR compliant. As a organiser we also have access to reports and all the event data which provides a valuable insight into the event and if we achieved our objectives.

CONS

Email communications from the VFairs platform tend to land in junk folders which hinders communications with registered visitors when providing updates about the event. The live and private chat room functions have a slight lag on updating and require having a separate page open in your browser for the duration of the event. Engagement is key with any virtual event so these features need to be enhanced to improve the experience for all participants.

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review, Dan! Our team has had the best time working with you, and we look forward to taking your feedback into account for an even more amazing experience next time! :)

vFairs helps to create a visually pleasing and engaging online event

vFairs helped us deliver an engaging online event as close as possible to the real thing during the coronavirus pandemic. The benefit it gave us in terms of audience reach is something we are taking forward as we look to plan for in-person events to return. A hybrid approach is likely to be the direction we go in, after launching our annual summit in person and having the second year online we have realised the pro's and con's to both approaches and will look to address this in our third annual event. We would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to create a visually pleasing and engaging online event.

PROS

- A great solution that allowed us to adapt and press on with an important event - the platform included all elements of our summit when we couldn't be in person, we made use of the auditorium, exhibition hall and networking lounge - as well as linking off to other platforms including an art gallery. - Holding the webinars and exhibition online meant that we could reach a much wider audience, making the summit much more inclusive and enabled us to reuse and repurpose the content for longer unlike at an in person event. - Being able to link to Zoom made life much easier as we were familiar and comfortable with running webinars on this platform. - The project team were always on hand to resolve any issues and found ways of working around any challenge we presented - issues we did come across seemed to be in progress/ under development. - Overall the backend system was simple and straightforward to use. - The animation was great and added another dimension to the online event - we received some great feedback from attendees on this.

CONS

- The initial options and build of the platform could be more thorough and include everything that is possible to create - working from a blank sheet was quite daunting when we were pushed into the online events landscape during the first lockdown. There were a couple of occasions when we came across this issue (for example, wanting the event to go into people's calendars but at the point we realised it was too late to build this function in) - if this function was in the initial options we would have ticked yes to include. - Not being able to edit and manage the content on the event landing page lead to a lot of wasted time and miscommunication - our event agendas are constantly in need of updates so this was a weakness of the process. - We quickly realised that we needed to show our audience what to expect before we could promote which meant we had to have a demo video created. This delayed event promotion, and couldn't be achieved without some initial design being completed on the platform. A generic video to promote the platform that event planners could use in promotion would be really helpful. - There is a lot of work that goes into setting up the event in the backend of the programme and training on the platform was challenging for some users and exhibitors. Some set emails and instructions explaining how to use the platform would be useful up front.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Paige. We truly appreciate you informing us about your best experiences and helping us improve the platform at the same time! We can't wait to have you back with a bigger and better event experience! :D

vFairs took our trade show to the next level

PROS

My Project Manager, [sensitive content hidden] was extremely attentive and a true champion of our success. He was quick to respond with any questions, concerns, or issues that arose, and always provided clear and concise guidance on how to move forward. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the project goals and was able to effectively execute on all project tasks within a short time frame. His always-positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond made him a pleasure to work with. Before vFairs, badge printing for our trade show was one of the most difficult and costly features of our event process. We used to print all badges ahead of the show, which was costly and inefficient. vFair's on-site badge printing was easy and fast and made the check-in process a breeze. Both our attendees and our check-in admins were thrilled with the easy and speedy process. The app was a big success for three groups of people: attendees, exhibitors, and our staff. Exhibitors liked how easy it was to scan badges, record notes, and house resources for attendees. Attendees enjoyed how easy it was to navigate the trade show floor, the very fun scavenger hunt, and the push notifications. Staff enjoyed the reporting, badge printing, and scanning into breakout sessions. The app absolutely elevated our event, making venue navigation easy, adding an element of fun with the scavenger hunt, staying on track with push notifications, and having information readily available.

CONS

Would love to see some templates to help with content creation.

Reasons for switching to vFairs

We needed more features and a cleaner reporting experience.

vFairs, the Virtual Fair Platform of Choice!

We love our partnership with vFairs! Their customer service and attention to detail drive the partnership forward. When we 1st started hosting virtual events through vFairs a couple years ago, I was a novice on the platform with little prior experience in this space. Two years and 4 events later, I am a Project Manager for our dept. for this event and love the experience of bringing a 1,000+ attendee virtual event to our student population. vFairs is constantly improving and updating their product and the expanded options truly differentiate their services to our employer partners. If you are looking for your next (or first!) virtual fair vendor, vFairs is definitely the way to go!

PROS

For the software, we especially appreciated the ADA accommodations, vFairs attention to detail, customization options, text/video/audio capability options, and mobile compatibility, resume filter options, virtual booth variety, and embedded video capability.

CONS

The webinar process for exhibitors could be improved. Although this may be challenging given the integration with Zoom, bringing this capability in-house could be a way to improve that aspect. Employer "Leave a Message" follow-up e-mails could use consolidating so that exhibitors are not sent too many applicant e-mails over an extended period. Making chat times mandatory for exhibitors to provide a clearer picture to attendees and administrators.

Reason for choosing vFairs

Our university decided to partner with vFairs for the following (unordered) reasons: Relatively inexpensive pricing, ADA accommodations, history of excellent customer service, their attention to detail, customization options, text/video/audio capability options, and mobile compatibility.

vFairs Played a Pivotal Role in our Success!

vFairs helped us solve the problem of how to hold an educational conference for healthcare professionals and consumers during and after pandemic shutdowns. By hosting a hybrid event we kept the in-person element of community building and networking along with the online element of easy international access without travel. vFairs provided a fun and easy to navigate platform for our attendees for a very reasonable price.

PROS

vFairs has been in the virtual event planning business long enough to know how to plan and execute a flawless experience. We found their team to be highly skilled, professional, collaborative, fast responding, and a pleasure to work with. Our project manager, [sensitive content hidden] , and Customer Success Manager, [sensitive content hidden] , were deeply committed to the success of our event. Throughout the entire planning and execution process we felt well taken care of.

CONS

The vFairs platform is highly customizable; it can be intimidating for inexperienced event planners to create the online platform with content and images. We appreciated the options to use standard templates and the help from our project manager in keeping things moving along when we were paralyzed by decision making fatigue. There were more tasks to setting up the event than we originally thought. The first year using vFairs we left too much to the end and were under pressure finishing.

Reason for choosing vFairs

We chose vFairs because it provided the customization and fun we were looking for with a reasonable price tag. One of our board members had attended a virtual event on the vFairs platform and highly recommended it to us.

Thank you so much for sharing a great review! We are so glad that you appreciated vFairs user friendly features, and were happy with the support provided by our team. We hope to see you back at vFairs!

VFairs and me

From sales to pre event build to post event support it was a smooth and seamless process. Event though we were in different time zones we used this fact to our mutual advantage being able to service our global participants was actually easier. Most importantly our assigned project manger [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was stellar and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was also on top of his game when it came to the virtual program schedule and execution of our event.

PROS

The end result was exactly what the client was expecting. There were very few requirements that the team was not able to find a solution for and they delivered at the highest level. Team was creative and had an excellent knowledge of how their solutions worked, if challenged on a new concept they found a way to make it happen.

CONS

There were a few items we brought up in our post event review. I think one of the primary issues was being able to provide a better integration with Interprefy and making that more seamless.

Reason for choosing vFairs

We looked at 5-6 other options and vFairs had the ability to accommodate our client's wish list of features, including a 3 D version within a reasonable budget.

Supportive and Responsive Team!

The most valuable aspect of vFairs is its customer service. Our Customer Support Manager, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] , set the tone by understanding our event's objectives and proposing features that would achieve those objectives.We opted to use vFairs as a permanent solution for our global public health conference since the organization was so satisfied with the work of the vFairs staff. This is the third year we have utilized vFairs for our virtual conference, and the experience keeps improving! vFairs has been exceptionally accommodating in customizing the virtual platform to meet the needs of our target audience. In addition, the expertise of our project manager, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] , who strived to identify solutions to produce the best user experience, was a significant factor in the success of our event performance this year. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team members during our event were also incredibly quick and cordial while answering participant questions and resolving issues. In addition, our event included numerous technological components that demanded countless hours of data entry and user experience design. Nevertheless, the increasing adaptability of the vFairs platform made it simple to navigate these issues as they occurred, and the vFairs team did so with poise and grace.We recommend vFairs to everyone interested in hosting hybrid, in-person and virtual events!

PROS

Users will have an easy time navigating the vFairs platform, and both the visual designs and the navigation may be altered to better suit the requirements of your event as well as the expectations of your audience. Also, the integration with HubSpot made it possible for team members to access data regarding attendees easily.

CONS

The possibilities for financial interaction and using an e-check are highly restricted regarding the registration options. Our conference registrants experienced certain difficulties due to our inability to offer flexible payment options.

Virtual Conferences Made Easy

We set out to create a virtual conference which included live speakers, deeply customized interactions and critical content for our business. vFairs consistently delivered for us. They were responsive, especially at critical moments of the project, flexing their schedules to meet our timelines. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] (our key POCs on the project) were clearly experts at putting on events like these. Their consultation on how to achieve a successful event, especially at the start of the process when we were unsure how the site worked, was critical to our success. I personally work with a lot of vendors on projects, my interactions with vFairs have been some of the best I’ve had with a vendor. We have plans to work with them on multiple upcoming projects. I can’t recommend them enough!

PROS

-Powerful reporting from a vendor team willing to go the extra mile to customize for your business needs. -Extremely responsive service. We had a critical error on the day before the conference and they stayed up all night to make it right for us. -Adaptive/customizable interfaces. We worked with vFairs to full customize the site to align to our brand, look and feel without any pushback.

CONS

-I really have to say nothing. This event was one of the most seamless interactions with a vendor I have expeeienced. We asked for a LOT of customization and new functionality. They were always willing to go the extra mile, even if they hadn’t done a specific integration or ask before.

Vendor Response

What to do when considering vFairs

It was a pleasure working with them even though there were some hiccups along the way. The sales staff was an immediate draw for me. He sold it without being pushy and was available to answer questions even after the agreement was signed and paid for. Thank you, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. I had weekly Zoom calls with our project manager. This helped a lot because I could view the step by step process. Lots of emails back and forth, too. Communications were always open between us. Thank you, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].

PROS

Attendee perspective: Easy to navigate. They loved the look! Most have not seen a platform similar to vFairs. Having a lobby with a dashboard was a favorite feature. Scavenger hunt and leaderboard are great tools for member satisfaction. User perspective: If you want to impress your attendees/exhibitors, use this platform.

CONS

You must give yourself plenty of time to complete the project. Less than 3 months is not an ideal situation. We did it but it was a lot of work that included weekends. A lot of deliverables for it to happen; do all possible to meet the deadlines set by vFairs. I think the administrator should be able to do simple revisions/updates in the backend. Maybe in the future. However, after writing my comment, I understand that vFairs needs to keep the integrity of their platform; user might mess up their work.

Reason for choosing vFairs

My first choice was Pheedloop. We didn't choose them because we needed the exhibitors to have a virtual booth. Pheedloop did not offer that, unfortunately. That was the only reason we did not choose Pheedloop. 6Connex did not respond to my email. Another organization gave me the name of their project manager and I reached out to her. No reply received until after 2 weeks. We already signed with vFairs and it was a good decision not to wait.

Vendor Response

Dear Peggy. Thanks for your feedback - both positive and constructive. We're absolutely honored to hear about your experience and look forward to improving it further for the next time you work with us :D

vFairs Rocks!

We love vFairs! Again, they are a great partner to have. What we've learned by using vFairs and because we started using them prior to the 2020 Covid lockdown, it was an immediate and easy instinct to just use vFairs to continue our events without a blip in our business. It was an instantaneous decision to move from in-person to a fully virtual event in 2020, so while others were struggling, we were just fine and we owe that to vFairs. As a micro-business/social enterprise, they helped us maintain "business as usual" during a very difficult time for all.

PROS

They software is easy to use, and if you need any help vFairs will assist. But more importantly is their professionalism and easy of working with the staff. They are all very helpful, friendly, and will ensure your event will run smoothly. And if any hiccups do occur (it happens with technology), be assured that they will be right by your side as everything gets worked out.

CONS

Actually, I don't have any "cons." I was able to recreate an in-person experience for our attendees in a virtual environment... this is not easy to do and keep the audience engaged. All of the vFairs components were sensory, visual, and allowed the participant to navigate through the virtual environment with easy as vFairs helps us simulate human action and the steps any person would take when they are attending an in-person event. In the end, it was seamless for the attendee.

Vendor Response

Thank you Ivette for taking out the time and sharing your feedback with us. We are so happy to hear that vFairs has been your constant partner for hosting virtual events way before COVID hit. And we hope that you continue to work with us in years to come!

Tradeshow and webinar events

It has been an amazing experience, better than what we were ever expecting or anticipating. The vFairs team, our project manager [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team, have been fabulous. Very creative and open to ideas and finding ways to implement ideas or solutions for issues that come up unexpectedly. Kept on a timeline and made it all work. Very appreciative of everyone at vFairs.

PROS

Allows us to target a larger customer base. Allows for an unlimited amount of information providing even more than we can get with an in-person show.

CONS

In being a wholesale company, we have restrictions on the exhibitor booths, what vendors can see what booths and who can log into more than one booth. We have a work around but feel is not the most efficient for my exhibitors. Would like a way to be able to have a log in that would not restrict people from getting into more than one exhibitor booth for those that are specifically assigned to it. Not accessible to all booths, just those assigned to them.

Reason for choosing vFairs

Over 200+ booths, restrictions, animation graphics, customization. vFairs found a way to make it all work.

Vendor Response

Thank you Debbie for sharing your valuable feedback with us. We are elated to learn that your experience with vFairs was great and that you enjoyed working with your project manager. It makes us happy to learn that our platform helped you in solving the issue of reaching out to more people. As far as your concern regarding the booths and the restriction for exhibitors is concerned, we have forwarded your suggestion to the product team and we will work on coming up with a solution for this. Looking forward to working with you again soon!

Creative, easy to access and navigate Vfair Platform.

Overall Vfairs were fantastic in terms of 24/7 support, the team worked exceptionally hard to create this event, we had multiple meetings every 2 weeks for catch ups and discussions on logistics, operations and support from us in terms of communication with our students and clients. The company did the rest for digitally creating the platform, booths for the client, webinar set up and we were able to reach out to them at any point. They provided their own advice from previous events within Higher Education. Round of applause to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for their calm and professionalism approach!

PROS

First time user , we wanted a simple Vfair event that was not complicated for our clients and students to utilise and navigate. This platform was accessible on multiple devices across, mobile phones, PC and laptops. The software allowed you to be as creative and focus on attention to detail regarding layout, images, content, PR&Marketing of images from human images to rotating images on a screen. As well as incorporating webinars through the auditorium room which gave you a great feel of attending a live presentation.

CONS

There were very minor glitches for example certain descriptions that was not the same dialogue within EU wordings, a webinar crash for the first 2 min during start time due to everyone trying to log in at the same time on sheer volume.

Reason for choosing vFairs

I did extensive research into other companies who supplied such digital platforms and taking into account the costs. Due to the positive reviews and looking at the VFairs demo video on their website it was intriguing and not complicated to accomplish want we wanted for a first time pilot of a VFair event. Thank you!

Vendor Response

Thank you for taking the time to write us an exceptional review, Tuhina! Your feedback means a lot to us and we're thrilled to know the experience matched your expectations. We can't wait to assist you in times to come! :)

First Time But Not Last Time User

PROS

[sensitive content hidden] was phenomenal. Having a dedicated customer support/tech professional really made the difference for my organization. He exceeded all expectations and even thought of did things for us we didn't consider, let alone ask for. We have got nothing but positive feedback on the success of our virtual event and [sensitive content hidden] is a huge part of the reason why.

CONS

Zoom did not operate within the vFairs platform but had to be opened up in a separate tab.

Reason for choosing vFairs

We evaluated other vendors, but chose vFair because their platform offers the high quality virtual meeting experience we expect for our potential future dealers who are in attendance. We also chose vFair because they provide ongoing technical support and training, as well as live support during the actual events. Our live support was [sensitive content hidden] and we couldn't have asked for anyone better.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your thoughtful and generous review! It's great to know your event was successful and our team delivered a positive experience for you! It was a pleasure to assist with your virtual conference and we can't wait until the next one.
