RG: Where is the benefit for the customers; what’s your USP in comparison to competitors?
HeySummit: Whether you’re planning your first-ever online event or you’re a seasoned virtual event organizer, HeySummit caters to all event planning abilities and events of all sizes and use cases – from expanding your business to sharing your passion.
The reason why event organizers choose to use HeySummit is that each individual session can be customized to shape the best attendee experience possible. HeySummit enables organizers to knit together various types of sessions within one event in a seamless way – something that is engaging, insightful, and impactful to their audience.
As an event organizer, you’ll be able to choose the best tool to deliver the best experience for their attendees. Different types of sessions, for example, a panel discussion, workshop, or Q&A require different formats and plans – from live-streaming to networking. Furthermore, HeySummit leverages the power of integrations to work with tools customers are already using, such as Zoom and Hopin. As such, there is no need to reinvent the wheel and learn new systems – simply plug in and go!
RG: Is the German market relevant for you? If yes, how would you approach the German market?
HeySummit: Yes! HeySummit is truly a global product. To date, our community has delivered a remarkable 4,759 events to 2 million people, averaging 1,857 attendees per event. Together, they’ve sold US$7.2 million worth of tickets and brought joy and value to audiences in over 190 countries.
Landing pages are entirely customizable and can either be automatically translated, manually translated, or a mixture of both. Although a large part of our community is based in North America, the beauty of online events lies in that you are not restricted by location in any way!
