Event Engagement Platform
Give attendees a reason to take part in every session, not just show up
An event engagement platform is the set of tools that turns attendees from an audience into participants. On Eventdex that means gamification with trivia and a live leaderboard, live Q&A and polls in sessions, AI matchmaking and networking, push notifications, and surveys that collect feedback while it is fresh.
Most of it runs through the Eventdex mobile app, so attendees use one app for the agenda, the questions they ask and the points they earn. The tools work at in-person, virtual and hybrid events. Each module below links to the page that describes it in full, and survey results appear in the same dashboard organizers use for registration, badges and check-in. Eventdex's pages describe the tools, not guaranteed results, so the page is specific about what each one does.

Why organizers choose Eventdex for engagement
One app for the whole experience
Q&A, polls, surveys, trivia and notifications sit in the same mobile app as the agenda, so attendees do not need another tool.
You choose what earns points
The trivia and leaderboard page says organizers decide which in-app actions count and whether points are awarded once or each time.
Speakers stay in control of Q&A
Moderators and speakers decide which questions to display, sort them by recency, popularity or manual preference, and export every question afterward.
Feedback while it is fresh
Surveys can be sent during the event, so you can read responses by session before the event ends.
In person, virtual or hybrid
The Q&A page describes the widget at in-person, hybrid and fully virtual events, and the trivia and leaderboard page says it works onsite too.
No promised engagement numbers
Eventdex's pages do not quote engagement or response-rate figures. This page quotes none.
“We really appreciated the adaptability of the software to meet our changing needs. For example, we liked being able to create promo codes to offer reduced rates to conference attendees with special circumstances.”

FAQ
Event Engagement Platform: common questions
What is an event engagement platform?
Software with tools that get attendees taking part rather than watching: games and leaderboards, live Q&A and polls, networking, notifications and surveys. Eventdex provides these in its mobile app and manages them from the same dashboard as registration, badges and check-in.
What does event gamification on Eventdex include?
Trivia quizzes and a real-time leaderboard. Attendees earn points for actions such as attending sessions, visiting booths, connecting with attendees or posting to the feed, and the leaderboard can appear on the event homepage, in session rooms or in the mobile app. Organizers can brand the screens for sponsors.
Can attendees ask questions and vote in polls during sessions?
Yes. The Q&A widget takes questions in real time, including anonymous ones, with upvoting and moderation, and every question can be exported afterward. The mobile app page also describes live polling, with results shown on the main screen in minutes and one-click session ratings.
Can we message attendees during the event?
The mobile app sends push notifications to attendees about last-minute changes and other updates, and shows a real-time activity feed. Eventdex event email is for event transactions such as confirmations, reminders and updates, so plan promotion through your own channels.
How do we collect feedback?
With the event survey tool inside the mobile app. You build custom surveys with ratings, multiple choice or open text, target them by session or speaker, and see analytics in the dashboard as responses arrive, before, during and after the event.
How much will engagement improve?
Eventdex's pages do not state engagement or response-rate figures, so a number would be a guess. Ask in a demo how organizers configure the tools for an event like yours, and use the reports and survey analytics to measure your own results.
