Early adopters of a branded event experience

As one of our long-time customers, Portland have been champions of the branded event experience for their attendees from the get go. They were quick to utilize our registration tools to build beautiful registration experiences on behalf of their clients. Qmeeto’s powerful backend enables them to build customized forms, showcase brand colours, fonts and graphics to create a look and feel that brings their event to life.

3rd party email campaign software & Salesforce

With invitations sent through Salesforce using a 3rd party email solution it was important for Portland to be able to manage the sync between Qmeeto registration and Salesforce. After analysing the required field options we provided a custom integration with Salesforce to ensure that registrations work seamlessly. 

Knowing the importance of event data

Managing attendees has never been easier for their team. Now they can see who has registered and who has cancelled in an instant. Having access to the information gathered in the custom fields of the registration form in one report saves so much time and resources. Data can also be easily shared internally so everyone is in the loop.

The results

Portland chose our event platform for its simplicity and being an intuitive, clear tool. With one system to manage all their events it has helped them to communicate and work more efficiently together, while also providing their clients with a best in class attendee experience. Even with the pivot to virtual events, they continue to provide a superior branded experience at each digital touchpoint.
