Challenges We Solve

Low email registration conversion

Event invites in email get modest open rates. WhatsApp registration links often convert better — if attendees expect messages on the channel.

Last-minute schedule changes

Venue or speaker changes need instant reach. WhatsApp broadcasts update opted-in attendees in minutes.

Ticket and QR delivery

Attendees lose PDF tickets. WhatsApp delivers QR codes directly to their phone — still ask them to save or screenshot.

Day-of attendee questions

"Where is Hall B?" and "What time is lunch?" flood organiser phones. FAQ bots handle tier-1; volunteers handle exceptions.

Sponsor and exhibitor leads

Business events need fast lead capture from booth scans and networking sessions.

Post-event engagement

Feedback forms sent via email get low response. WhatsApp forms often perform better when sent within 24 hours of close.
