Organizing a convention in Quebec means working with specific realities: an often bilingual audience, some of the strictest personal information requirements in Canada and, in many cases, a small organizing team. The event app you choose has to account for all of that.
Many platforms look alike on paper. The difference lies in how they fit your context.
A successful convention depends on a frictionless attendee journey, from registration to the last meeting. Ideally, a single platform covers:
- ticketing and payment, with tiered pricing and group registration;
- a mobile app, available as a web app with no mandatory download or as a native app;
- an always up-to-date program, with notifications for last-minute changes;
- networking and meeting scheduling among attendees, exhibitors and partners;
- on-site check-in and badge printing;
- reports to measure results and plan the next edition.
Every extra tool means another integration to manage. An all-in-one platform makes life easier for your team and your attendees alike.
Why choose a Quebec company
B2B/2GO is a Quebec company, founded in 2013 by event organizers. We’re not the regional office of a multinational: our decisions, our team and our expertise are here.
In practice, that means:
- natural bilingualism. We work in French every day, and our platform was designed for French- and English-speaking audiences from the start;
- local know-how. We understand the realities of conventions, symposiums and trade shows here;
- a team on site. We’re there on event day, we test the venue’s network ahead of time and we provide the check-in equipment.
Your data in Canada, under Canadian jurisdiction
In Quebec, Law 25 holds organizations accountable for the personal information they collect, including when it’s entrusted to a vendor. Knowing where your data is stored isn’t enough: you also need to know which laws your vendor answers to.
At B2B/2GO, your attendees’ data is hosted on sovereign Canadian servers.
Clear pricing, unlimited support
Our model is simple: one engagement per event, licence included. Pricing depends on the features you choose and the number of users, so you pay for what your convention needs, nothing more.
And support is always unlimited and free, for your team and your attendees alike.
Questions to ask before you choose
- Is the vendor a Quebec company, or the local office of a foreign one?
- Where is your data hosted, and under which jurisdiction?
- Does the platform cover the whole journey, from registration to badge?
- Is support included, and is it available in French?
