Hurrah, It’s the tail-end of Quarter 3, 2016, it’s that time of year again — where everyone’s busy pulling up their socks, hitting KPIs and fulfilling objectives for the year. In that light, I’m pleased to announce our busiest period yet — 50+ JUBLIA-powered events for the next two months, and counting.

Now despite all the powering, we dedicated two full days to participate at MICE 2016 — an annual exhibition that brought together MICE practitioners, event organizers and event technologies — as lanyard sponsors! (Yes, we were the lanyard sponsors if you missed it).

Special thanks to the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) for the booth, we had a productive two days of participation. Looking forward to starting many new conversations in Quarter 4.

I’m also pleased to announce that we’re working on something new. Something special for conferences, and something equally special for exhibitions. While we aim to unveil this in an official launch come 2017, existing client and partners can expect a first glimpse-gift from us this Christmas. If you like to be the first in line to get updates simply email me at errol@jublia.com.

Wishing you a great week ahead!

According to a report by Bizzabo, 82% of B2B marketers regard attendee engagement as an important KPI to determine an event’s success. As such, it is no secret that engagement is the crux for any event’s success. In every step of any event creation process, engagement will always be a key factor. 

However, knowing is one thing and doing is another. Many organizers attempt to create highly engaging events without knowing the actual formula. Thus, their attempts may result in a hit or miss due to the uncertainty.

This begs the question: How can organizers ensure their events are engaging, continuously captivating their attendees for the entire event duration and beyond, to bring their events to success?

We have just the answer for this — Jublia’s very own Engage 360°.

‍

‍Introducing Engage 360°

As its name suggests, Jublia Engage 360° answers your event engagement needs through a well-rounded engagement strategy.

With a 360° approach, the engagement strategy is separated into four phases: Design, Execute, Control, and Improve. They are aimed at designing for an engaging event according to your specific requirements, and facilitating the best outcomes for your audiences and your event’s success.

Together with a fully-equipped digital platform and support team, Engage 360° will help you to reinvigorate your events’ engagement and maximize your attendees’ opportunities for a highly successful event.

‍

How Is It Different?

We believe that selling a technology alone will not help you in delivering the results you want to achieve for your event.

Unlike the event engagement you are likely used to, Engage 360° focuses on maximizing attendees’ matchmaking opportunities through a high-touch engagement that delivers persistent, targeted and relevant messages and specialists that focus on helping you achieve the best results.

‍

Chance vs Data-Driven Opportunity

For the typical live event, matchmaking for attendees is left up to chance as organizers are unable to gain insights into their user behavior during the event. Thus, more often than not, attendees will feel exhausted at the end of the event due to a less than satisfactory matchmaking experience.

Engage 360° understands this pain point, and combats it with data-driven insights through event data collected in real time. With these insights that are automatically analyzed from attendees’ individual user behaviors, you will be able to understand how you can best motivate and retain attendees’ engagement throughout their event journey.

‍

Customer Service vs Customer Success

Jublia believes in a ‘customer-first’ approach, and is committed to delivering only the best to organizers. Our concierge is not limited to only answering queries for organizers and troubleshooting for you.

Instead, we will also curate and deliver a unique engagement strategy based on your specific engagement requirements that is aimed at meeting each and every of your attendees’ needs.

Our concierge will be with you at every step of the process, to ensure the engagement opportunities can be maximized for everyone at your event, and allowing everyone involved to achieve great success.

‍

Simple Reminders vs Robust Reminder Plan

It is vital for attendees to attend the meetings and sessions they have pre-scheduled to build trust and satisfaction in your events.

A simple reminder is just not enough, as attendees may easily miss or forget about their meetings or sessions due to an overcrowded schedule or a slip of the mind. Missed commitments mean lower event engagement and unhappy attendees.

Engage 360° has a robust reminder plan personalized for each attendee to minimize no-shows and missed meetings. A wide range of communication channels like WhatsApp, WeChat and email are supported. This ensures all attendees are able to communicate through their preferred channel and keep track of all their scheduled meetings and sessions.

When attendees are able to commit and attend all their scheduled meetings and sessions, your event’s engagement will naturally increase and be sustained throughout the event period.

‍

How Engage 360° Can Make A Difference to Your Events

Jublia believes in working together with organizers to better integrate our technology into your event and to deliver the best results. 

Engage 360° offers you a committed concierge that will help you to achieve your goals. Through crafting and delivering a curated engagement strategy aimed to meet the needs of all attendees together with the organizer, our goal is to drive up the ROI performances for your attendees and your event with our combined efforts. 

We do not skimp on quality checks and assurance for your events. With Engage 360°, we will run rigorous integrity checks at every stage of your event platform lifecycle. This way, you can have a peace of mind and focus on creating higher engagement and retaining attendees’ interest and participation to meet your event goals. 

To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often. Our philosophy is to strive for continuous improvements instead of thinking we have reached perfection. We want to help your event to delight attendees and achieve high ROI performances. As such, we are always looking to improve our 360° approach and how we can nurture the uniqueness of your brand. 

‍

Plan Your Event With Us!

At Jublia, we wholly understand the importance of event engagement for both the attendees and the organizer. 

Armed with a fully-equipped digital platform and highly-dedicated concierge to curate and realize your personalized event engagement strategy, we are more than prepared to deliver the best engagement experience to facilitate your event success.

Having already established a strong track record in partnering with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), Jublia once again set the gold-standard in business matching for the International Sourcing Week. Following the monumental success of the Summer and Autumn editions of the sourcing show, HKTDC placed their trust in Jublia’s state-of-the-art solutions to power the International Sourcing Show. With a resounding positive response from a multinational turnout, it is safe to say that we not only rose to the occasion, but far exceeded expectations.

The online section of the show ran from 17 March to 31 March while the offline segment is slated to begin on 26 July and conclude on 29 July. This dual virtual-physical format allows businesses to ease into a digital-focused sourcing model under the “new” normal, enabling them to harness the potential of online platforms while retaining the benefits of face-to-face interaction.

The International Sourcing Show integrated seven HKTDC trade fairs which covered industries such as home textiles, houseware, baby products, fashion and gifts. With Jublia’s globally-renowned matchmaking solutions at the heart of the event, buyers and suppliers were treated to an exceptional trade fair experience.

Click2Match: A Proven Recipe for Success

Jublia’s involvement in the International Sourcing Week 2021 solidified an already blossoming partnership between Jublia and the HKTDC. Jublia endeavoured to provide only the best to make certain that this relationship continues to flourish. We do not spare any resources when it comes to our partnerships; our dedicated team works deeply with each organiser client to set them up for success!

As in the previous sourcing shows, Jublia’s Match 360° Virtual solution formed the cornerstone of meaningful business connections. With Jublia’s capabilities proven to be a winning recipe, HKTDC once again utilised Click2Match, an artificial intelligence-powered online business matching platform which boasts a list of business-driven features such as video conferencing, smart scheduling as well as product showcase.

Thanks to the robust and intuitive nature of Click2Match, we are proud to share that the International Sourcing Show achieved the following figures:

• Over 67% of user respondents indicated a positive response, revealing that attendees are highly likely to recommend the event to their industry peers. A huge win for HKTDC!
• More than 80,000 meeting requests were made, with over 65% of users rating their meeting experience a minimum 4 out of 5 stars — testament to our smooth and seamless meetings platform!
• The online event generated over 145,000 match visits as well as over 554,000 profile views. With company and product information right at your fingertips, finding the perfect buyer or supplier has never been easier!

The star of the show was undeniably Jublia’s 1-to-1 video meetings. With the pandemic still posing as a barrier for face-to-face meetings, video meetings have become a permanent fixture at events. Jublia’s highly secure in-house 1-to-1 video meetings feature served as the focal point of business discussions and was pivotal in engaging the sourcing community.

The team at Jublia is always committed towards delivering excellence and we are extremely grateful to have received stellar feedback from users!

We are very satisfied with the Click2Match service which allowed us to arrange video meetings as frequently as we liked without any time conflicts.

– Fashion Hometex Co Ltd, Thailand

The meeting platform has worked very well and the guidance from the HKTDC’s staff has been great. I have established contacts with three to four very promising and new suppliers via the Click2Match platform.

– DWD Concepts GmbH, Germany

The Click2Match platform is very useful and user-friendly. By using its search engine, we can find target buyers and set up video meetings easily.

– Bossini International Holdings Limited, Hong Kong

The HKTDC’s Click2Match provides a very useful and user-friendly platform for us to communicate with new suppliers.

– Electroservice LLC, Russia

The Click2Match platform also makes it easier for us to find potential buyers relevant to our business. We had virtual meetings with more than eight buyers mostly from the EU and Southeast Asia.

– BNSoft Inc., Korea
‍

Curated Agenda Sessions: One of the Best Tools for Audience Engagement

By now, industry professionals would be aware that engagement is the name of the game. The shift to virtual has in fact intensified the challenge of capturing and sustaining audience attention, prompting organisers to refine their strategies.

The Agenda sessions interface on our Match 360° Virtual platform overcomes the engagement hurdle by ensuring that keynotes, webinars and seminars are clearly organised and easily accessible.

Over the course of the event, the Agenda sessions generated over 47,000 session views! With just a single click of a button, users in attendance at the International Sourcing Show were able to gain access to valuable insights on topics surrounding the global trade industry such as end-to-end e-commerce solutions, sustainability profiling and digital future proofing. Graced by a number of distinguished speakers from market-leading companies such as AEON, Alibaba Group and Zalora, the online fair was truly a not-to-be-missed spectacle.

The tremendous success of the International Sourcing Show 2021 | ONLINE along with the previous Summer and Autumn shows has highlighted the power of Jublia’s solutions in creating meaningful business opportunities. Jublia’s partnership with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council has paid great dividends and we are eternally grateful to have been chosen as the number one technology provider.

If you would like to engage in a similarly fruitful and mutually beneficial partnership with us, drop us a note at info@jublia.com or reach out to anyone you know at Jublia. Our solutions transcend multiple industries and geographical boundaries — we are committed to supporting your event in every way possible. Here’s to another strong and prosperous business quarter ahead!

Article actual date: Feb 23, 2021

Following the roaring success of Summer Sourcing Week 2020, Jublia is delighted to announce that we once again partnered with Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) for their event. This time, it was the Autumn Sourcing Week which ran from 16 to 27 November 2020.

The event combined 11 trade shows into a single sourcing fiesta, allowing small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to stay connected with global buyers amidst the pandemic.

With our AI-driven matchmaking solutions, Jublia is proud to have facilitated networking opportunities across various industries such as electronics, eco tech, houseware, lighting and baby products.

Click2Match: Smart Business Matching driven by Artificial Intelligence

One of the main concerns for buyers during this period of uncertainty is the efficacy of online platforms in orchestrating seamless business meetings. With confidence in Jublia’s Match 360° Virtual solution, we were able to assure event attendees that their needs and demands would be met.

Following the positive feedback gathered from Summer Sourcing Week 2020, the Autumn iteration continued to utilise ‘Click2Match’, an AI-enabled business matching platform which provides buyers and suppliers with online self-service tools such as meeting planners, live chats, video meetings and e-business card exchanges.

Here are 3 powerful capabilities of Jublia’s Match 360° Virtual as highlighted by attendees:

1. 1-to-1 Video Meetings

With the pandemic restricting physical interactions, the value and importance of virtual meetings cannot be understated. The ease-of-use of Jublia’s virtual meetings ensured that buyers and sellers could focus on key business decisions.

The HKTDC’s Click2Match works very well and allows us to set up video meetings with new buyers easily and exchange contact details during the meetings.

– Managing Director, Yuga Group Co. Ltd, Hong Kong

Our first Click2Match video meeting so far was very successful. The video and sound quality are good, and the supplier made attractive offers.

– CEO, HJH Office GmbH, Germany

2. Messages Chat

On top of video meetings, the ability to send messages also heightened the user’s end-to-end experience. With this feature, buyers and suppliers could easily share documents, images and name cards all in the same platform.

Thank you for adding the chat option during the video meetings, it is now much easier to send business cards, emails and additional information through the chat option.

– CEO, Push It Ltd, Israel

Most of the meetings have been fruitful and the chat function in the video meeting room is a big advantage.

– Import Coordinator, Asgard Sp. z o. o., Poland

3. My Schedule

At a huge event such as Autumn Sourcing Week where buyers and sellers are networking round-the-clock, Jublia’s calendar integration and organisation ensured that users stayed up-to-date on their schedule.

ASWO is a good platform that saves us time and money and Click2Match provides timely notifications for getting messages, new meetings, updates, etc.

– Deputy Manager, Yaya Corporation, Korea

What I like most about the Click2Match platform is that once a meeting has been arranged with the supplier through the “Meeting Planner” function, both the video meeting and live chat can take place immediately.

– CEO, Redbean Corp, Korea

Key Figures and Takeaways

1. Virtual Meetings: An Essential under the New Normal
   More than 200,000 total meeting requests were sent by buyers and exhibitors — this is twice the number of meeting requests from the Summer Sourcing Week! This twofold increase is testament to the indispensable value of virtual meetings.
2. AI-Driven Matchmaking
   The event generated more than 10,000 visits/day and 50,000 profile views/day, amounting to over 200,000 total visits and over 1 million total profile views. These numbers were made possible using Jublia’s robust and personalised recommendations engine that constantly seeks to engage audience in doing more.
3. Dynamic Communication
   While virtual meetings take centerstage, we must not neglect the functionality and practicality of instant messaging. More than 2,500 images, 1,300 files and 2,300 virtual name cards were exchanged through our Messages Chat feature!

Here at Jublia, we always strive to be at the forefront of event technology.

Techventure 2014 brought together over 100 startups, potential investors and VCs, over 600 international delegates and 40 foreign top-tier speakers to share insights, exchange ideas, explore business partnerships and discuss deals; all in the name of innovation and entrepreneurship. The conference and exhibition took place at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center from the 24th-25th September.

The delegates were treated to talks by international startup founders such as as Steve Chen, Founder of YouTube and Dado Banatao, Founder of Tallwood Venture Capital. They shared their stories, experiences and gave advice to the diverse range of startups present at the event. There were also presentations which gave startups looking for funding a good idea of what investors were looking for.

Jublia is proud to be part of the group of startups supported by NUS Enterprise. We were involved in Techventure 2014 as delegates, exhibitors and presenters. It was exciting to talk about what we do alongside other top start-ups such as Ractiv, a Singaporean company with a device that turns any surface into a touch screen and Creopop, the inventor of the world’s first 3D pen with cool ink.

Our CEO, Tan Kuan Yan took part in the fast pitch session where we reached out to as many people as possible, especially piquing the interest of investors. Do check out our presentation deck below.

There have never been better networking opportunities other than meeting each other in person and having a direct talk. From April 26 to 28, HD Expo+Conference was held in Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, where all designs and hospitality enthusiasts gathered to experience new products, engage in meaningful conversations, and have strategic networking.

All-in-One Platform Tailored to the Event’s Need

‍

During the 3 days of the tradeshow, more than 5,000 designers, architects, brand executives, purchasers, developers,  and other attendees from 36 countries gathered together. Behind the impressive numbers, planning this big event posed a particular challenge: how to cater to a conference, expo, and hosted buyer program through an all-in-one platform.

We at Jublia leveraged our decade of experience to tailor the best solution for a successful event. We are aware that in live events, ensuring attendees have an authentic experience is important. Our AI-powered matchmaking solutions helped drive engagement across the event.

Initially, one of the biggest concerns was how to reach and engage all registration types, and provide enough education on how to use this new platform. Our highly flexible and adaptable platform helped attendees and exhibitors alike gain the most out of their event attendance by making it easy to schedule product demos, arrange 1 on 1 meetings, or find networking and learning sessions. 

Jennifer Yarber, Senior Marketing Director at Emerald shared her experience planning the event with Jublia.

“A "top-of-the-line platform" means nothing if my team has no idea how to use it or problems aren't being addressed. Jublia has been a great partner for my events because they go the extra mile with training and best practices and genuinely listen to our feedback.

We love how Jublia was deeply involved in the whole planning process. They clearly explained our options and helped us prepare for every situation that could possibly arise. Having Jublia team members onsite was incredibly valuable--they were able to gather direct feedback, troubleshoot user problems in real-time, and meet our audience firsthand.”

Complete Engagement Hub with Branded Event App

Along with the excitement of going back onsite, there come the hassles. Going to the event venue without sufficient preparation will only result in exhaustion, going through pointless meetings, and spending most of the time finding the right direction.

‍

Jublia helped ensure attendees' convenience as they navigated through the event onsite with our super Branded Native App. We specially created the event app to cater to the various needs of the stakeholders. An event app works as a digital co-pilot that assist attendees in their smart event discovery.

They were able to arrange 1 on 1 meetings, bookmark sessions they were interested in, and schedule agenda for the day. All of those could be done in advance, days before the actual event started. It granted attendees the privilege to plan for their day effectively.

The incorporated floorplan helped attendees find their way to the booths and meeting location when they arrived at the venue. Beyond dispatching our digital solutions, our crew also arrived onsite to walk around the venue, gather feedback from the exhibitors, and join the board meeting with the key stakeholders.

Effective and Meaningful 1 on 1 Meeting at a Dedicated Lounge

‍

The 2022 HD Expo+Conference was not just a tradeshow or exhibition — it was a good place for networking. Going beyond the usual meeting at the exhibitor booths, the organizer provided a dedicated lounge for exhibitors and attendees to meet, that way ensuring the meeting truly happened between two parties.

The dedicated meeting lounge allowed the organizer to track down the meetings that occurred throughout the event, which in turn enabled them to gain valuable insight about the meetings.

Enhanced Engagement Started from the Very Beginning

HD Expo + Conference showed impressive engagement during the event. It didn't happen overnight, but started weeks before the actual event itself, once again stressing the importance of pre-event engagement.

Jublia’s AI-powered matchmaking worked fabulously in processing the data provided by attendees, exhibitors, and buyers during the registration process and turned them into excellent personalized recommendations. By curating the attendees’ profiles with our algorithm, they were able to send more meeting requests without actually taking time to search for the perfect matches.

‍

The event's success was also reflected in what the attendees and exhibitors felt during the event itself.

“I felt HD had a great turn out this year with a high number of quality attendees in the Hospitality industry.” — U.S. Exhibitor

“How many vendors you can meet, products you can discover, and connections you can make, it's a great way to help our work be more efficient.” — Mexican Hosted Buyer

“Again, the ease of setting up the meeting. Having someone else set up the meeting for me is HUGE!” — U.S. Exhibitor

“Coming out of Covid and a lack of events, connecting with clients in person is irreplaceable.” — U.S. Exhibitor

Plan Your Event with Us!

We are proud to be a part of the HD Expo+Conference 2022 and once again proved our solutions to be highly flexible and adaptable to all types of events. Here at Jublia, we are ready to DigitaLIVE your event journey — empower your live events with our robust digital platform and enhance the event value for both attendees and organizers.

We are humbled to be featured on the front page of The Business Times. It came as quite a surprise to us as we found out through our friend on an early morning while on our way to a meeting.

The article was a fantastic opportunity in explaining one of our main consideration when designing the experience that business professionals (who are most often than not busy people) goes through when using Match at conferences and/or exhibitions. Match is designed to be simple yet effective in securing quality face-to-face meetings at events.

Our heartfelt thanks for the congratulations received and utmost support from friends and close ones as we venture further into our journey of making “meaningful hellos”.

Stay tuned while we bring really exciting updates which has been in the works over here!

Hej! Jublia is glad to be an engage partner at Startup Day 2013 which is happening on the 20th April in Stockholm.

Startup Day is one of the biggest conference celebrating everything startups in Sweden, or I can even say, the Nordics.

There are a few reasons why being back at Startup Day again is a special moment for us.
The 3 co-founders actually hatched the Jublia idea during our year long stay in Stockholm. Being fundamentally interested in technology and startups, Startup Day is an event which we really looked forward to attending while we were based there. Furthermore, there were many great people we met in the Stockholm startup scene through events like Startup Day who have been great inspirations for us. The best thing is, many of these people became good friends of ours!

Startup Day will be one of our inaugural event where our platform will be utilised. We hope to obtain your feedback if you are using it and we will definitely strive to improve on making networking better at conferences.

Most importantly though, do make the most out of the contacts exchanged at Startup Day as it is attended by some of most brilliant founders, developers and designers!

The return to live events emphasizes the importance of digital platforms. Creating a digital ecosystem around live events brings many benefits to the table: from lengthening the event lifespan, making pre-event and post-event engagement possible, to facilitating organizers to make data-driven decisions.

And if a digital platform is the path to empower your live events, an event app is the navigator that allows you to travel faster.

Digital platform allows you to increase attendee engagement leading up to the event and build excitement prior to the event dates. While event app is a digital planner that allows you to know what is happening every time, in real-time.

Event App As a Digital Co-Pilot That Benefits Both Ends

Let’s say you are traveling for a holiday in the near future. Before you go, you will plan your itinerary in advance, including what you want to do and where you want to go. The same behavior is seen when you are attending a live event. 

Behind all the excitement of going back onsite to attend events physically, there is a blindspot that one cannot overlook: the hassle that everyone must go through. When somebody attends an event, they have to find the booth of their meetings, move to another location for the next sessions, and make sure that they are heading the right way.

Without the assistance of digital tools, all of those processes will be time-consuming and only result in exhaustion at the end of the day. This is where the event app comes in: as the digital co-pilot that helps attendees navigate through the event venue for a more fruitful and authentic experience for each of them.

Just like how you plan for your holiday, the event app lets you plan your event attendance as much as possible. You know who to meet, what sessions to attend, and which direction you should go so that your event experience at the live event is efficient, maximized, and productive.

On the organizers’ end, an event app is highly capable of capturing data throughout the event, which can be used by organizers to monitor their event in real-time, obtain live feedback from their attendees, and measure their satisfaction. 

Jublia App, a Branded Smart Event Discovery on Your Fingertips

Nowadays, life is becoming more convenient and efficient thanks to mobile devices. We can access everything at our fingertips, everywhere, and every time. The same thing goes when attending a live event. Imagine being able to exchange messages, finding the direction to certain booths, and having all activities planned for the day. It gives you an authentic event experience from which you can gain the most out of your attendance. An event app not only brings convenience to event attendees but also a one-stop for everything related to the event, providing an integrated marketing channel for the event.

Jublia’s event app is tailored to cater to each of the attendee's needs, ensuring they have an authentic event experience while reflecting the best of your brand. Since the beginning of 2022, our brilliant engineers have been working on improving the app to present you the Jublia App 3.0.

The newest version of the app comes with a number of enhanced features that are deeply designed for simplicity and empowered by AI recommendations for smart event discovery.

What’s New on Jublia App 3.0

Let’s dive deeper into what Jublia App 3.0 has to offer!

Improved UI/UX

Our app now appears with a cleaner look and improved features for a more personalized event experience. Coherent design styles are applied throughout the app, much to users’ delight. 

The buttons are also made more prominent for a better user experience, as well as haptic feedback on bookmarking exhibitors and favoriting sessions to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Jublia App 3.0 is also equipped with real-time responses to let users know when they make mistakes, such as entering the wrong passcode and getting disconnected from the network suddenly.

Agenda Recommendations

Find personalized recommendations specially made for you based on your interests. You can update it at any time and let our AI Matchmaking works to give you more relevant content recommendations.

Interactive Floorplan

Navigating inside the event venue has never been more convenient with our AI-powered interactive floorplan. Move between meetings and sessions smoothly without having to worry about getting lost. And the good news is that you can locate meetings directly from the “My Profile” page on the app.

Push Notifications

The upgraded push notifications page allows you to tap on more details about each message you receive. This feature ensures you do not miss any schedule, keeping you updated with the newest event-related information, and tapping on the pre-event, during, and post-event engagement.

Offline Mode

Being in the middle of the crowd may cause some issues to your network. Sharing the WiFi with so many people results in an unstable connection, not to mention the data charges if you decide not to use the WiFi. Also, with the reopening of international travel, there might be attendees who are not connected to the internet.

Some attendees prefer to truly feel the in-person experience when they attend live events, thus they choose to go offline and follow the schedule they have arranged in advance.

Therefore, Jublia App 3.0 enables “Offline Mode”, in which you can still access your favorite sessions and bookmarked company through your profile page. This is very instrumental in allowing attendees to fulfill their different wishes.

In-app Messaging

Interact, make an appointment, and arrange 1-1 meetings more conveniently and faster right from your hand, anywhere and anytime. Through our in-app messaging, you can now exchange messages efficiently.

1-1 Meetings

Jublia App 3.0 facilitates better networking opportunities in 1-1 meetings. You can schedule your meeting at available times in your preferred location and methods: either onsite meetings, virtual, or messaging. If you choose to have a virtual meeting, you can access our Video Meeting App (VMA) directly through the event app.

Grab Your Own Smart Event Discovery Now!

Digital platforms remain an important element to bring your event to success. It benefits all the involved stakeholders and helps them to gain the most out of their event participation. In this system, the event app serves as the icing on the cake that complements everything.

At Jublia, we strive to empower your live event digitally through DigitaLIVE. With almost a decade of experience in connecting people and content, our best-in-class solutions are tailored specifically to cater to your events’ needs.

It was a rough start in 2022 for many organizers. The rise in Omicron variant and the resulting government restrictions on events meant that many events were forced to be postponed or even canceled. It was an unprecedented period of uncertainty. To combat this, many organizers turned to use hybrid events as a safety blanket during this period as a means to shift easily from onsite to virtual if there comes the need for it.

The World is Reopening Itself

However, as we move further into 2022, the situation has shifted yet again. As we start to live with Omicron, more and more countries are easing their Covid-19 restrictions, and slowly starting to open up again. So, what does this mean? With more countries opening up, this implies that more events will be able to return onsite, and the events industry can slowly but gradually return to ‘normal’.

Goodbye to Hybrid?

From the start of Covid-19 till now, organizers have been bombarded with the term ‘hybrid’ over and over again. Thus, at the end of the road, most organizers are definitely sick about hearing how hybrid is the best option for their events. With all the aforementioned changes, does it mean the time has finally come for us to say goodbye to hybrid events? Well, not necessarily.

Hello, True Hybrid

Contrary to popular beliefs, a hybrid platform is more than just a tool for virtual-focused platforms to claim that they can assist organizers in adjusting to hybrid events during the pandemic period. Well, it may have been that at the start, but as the event industry continued to adapt and grow during these trying times, so did the very notion of hybrid and what it can bring for your events.

Now is undoubtedly an exciting time for event organizers. Every challenge brings about a new opportunity, and for organizers, the uncertainty brought about by the pandemic has also led to the evolution of hybrid events.

Today, hybrid has transformed to bring the best of both onsite and virtual events, and to create a seamless connection between both. A true hybrid-ready platform that acts like a “Digital Fabric” can assist your event in mitigating event cancellation risks, and bringing greater flexibility and inclusive experiences for all attendees, no matter if they are attending onsite or virtually.

Having a “Digital Fabric” in your onsite events also helps your attendees to prepare their visits before your onsite event dates. As such, they will be empowered to optimize their ROIs with pre-scheduled business meetings, and to also personally prepare their calendar with onsite sessions they will not want to miss.

Hybrid is the Future

Onsite events are coming back, but hybrid events are definitely here to stay. With the blending of a physical and digital landscape through a hybrid-ready platform, the possibilities are limitless. The ability to elevate your attendees’ experiences and to forge deeper engagements and connections can now be in your grasp — all made possible in a single platform.

The pandemic has greatly altered the very meaning of events and how they should be held for attendees. With greater demand from attendees on inclusivity, flexibility, immersiveness and accessibility, hybrid events are definitely the best solution to them. By bringing the best out of onsite and virtual events for both organizers and attendees alike, hybrid events will certainly be in the spotlight for now and in the future.

So don’t be so quick to ditch hybrid events, they may very well be the key for you to unlock your events’ full potential!

In our last post on August 14th, we announced that Jublia was going to Korea to participate in a 3.5 month acceleration in the K-Startup Grand Challenge.

It has been an intense program and we focused on getting the key hires, localisation, building partnerships and market penetration. The most important learning has been to adapt to business culture and finding the right fit, as the challenge is not just the language barrier but fighting the right fit for the industry.

The final demo day was on the 5th of October and from 1770 startups applying down to the chosen 80. Now after 3 months, we’ve made it to the top 40! We even received a glowing testimony from one of the judges who looks forward to using Jublia at Startup conferences that he heads to (because we know time is money!)

We’re happy with our initial results and we’re looking forward to servicing the Korean market further. We aspire to take South Korea’s MICE industry further on a global stage.

I’d like to thank several the Ministry of Startups and SMEs, NIPA, GCCEI for taking us in this program. I’d also like to thank our accelerator, ABLE Ventures + Tdu + StationNEO for providing us with the support and network. Last but not least - the Jublia team for the support. Especially James Lee, our new Country Manager in Korea who has helped us navigate our localisation efforts.

Jublia will have a booth at the upcoming EXCON Week Korea 2019 held in Coex from 16th-17th January 2019. Reach out to us if you're going to be in town!

Amidst the hype of ChatGPT3 (and 4 incoming!), the intrigued audience amongst us now have a deeper appreciation of other tools powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). In fact, a new IDC report shows that the worldwide spending in the AI market is set to grow 19.6% year-over-year in 2022 to $432.8 billion, working its way to breaching the $500 billion mark by 2023.

While people are excited about how these new capabilities could simplify even the most complex things pretty easily, people are starting to worry that their job would be at risk – and the event industry is no different. With intelligent tools that can create a more seamless event experience for all, it leaves us with a burning question: will the industry stop needing the human touch as it evolves to fully automated events in the near future?

‍

Does it Really Know it All?

As someone from literally inside the AI circles, you’d expect us to overly promote it like a magic pill, because why not? Companies within our industry have (overly) promoted it in benefit to their marketing and sales, until things are implemented and it doesn't seem as rosy as it sounds.

Fundamentally, an AI-powered tool also needs to be trained, checked, and validated by humans. For example, we asked ChatGPT if it knows Jublia, but we had to ask 3 times until it gave the right answer about our engagement hub because it was convinced that we are asking about a type of medication with the same name, but it’s just not the answer we are looking for.

There will be more questions like this with more answers that we did not expect. that is why the perfect human and AI dynamic is needed, as we can't rely purely on AI alone

‍

A Peek at the True Capability of Human and AI Collaboration

To know more about how the AI mind works, let's ask them ourselves. Here’s what ChatGPT answered:

In short, AI is a tool to help you gather, process and summarize information to get the answer you are looking for, but what you make of it relies entirely on you. Because AI should enhance and empower any work that you do, not replace it. 

Hence, it is important to design and train AI-powered tools for specific reasons, conditions, and unbiased data sets to gain valuable information that you need to create the best results.

For example, if you're an organizer looking to skyrocket your event engagement experience, an AI system is helpful to help you learn about the interactions that happen throughout your event. This will help you bring valuable information to a stakeholder (be it your matchmaking staff, users or even yourself) to create the best engagement outcomes. This is what the Jublia Engagement Hub is built for.

It is carefully designed to ingest data from different engagement touchpoints, and deliver stakeholders the most valuable insights to help gather the leads with the aim to create the most fantastic event attendance experience.

With all the hype about AI, it is easy to get the impression that AI will do all the jobs for us. Perhaps in the far-flung future, but for now, us humans take on an even more important role. Ironic? Not really! Let us explain. 

‍

The Human Touch to the Robotic Hand

Most things we do with AI are meant to drive the human experience. We can take a leaf from our own industry where the ultimate goal every planner would like to achieve is to provide a fulfilling event experience for others. Removing the human touch in any part of the event planning process would basically remove the essence of the event itself.

In events, Jublia uses the data gathered to create active engagement campaigns and drive engagement awareness or adoption to achieve better results. We can convert this data into actionable outputs like insights, recommendations, management, and leads generation.

• AI and insights: Using AI-driven insights on how attendees interact with each other. This is so our customer success team can work efficiently with clients to  send relevant targeted emails based on the attendees’ personal event engagement experience
• AI and recommendations: RevRank AI can do the time-consuming sourcing work for attendees by recommending them potential leads and content to interact with that is aligned to their needs and preferences.
• AI and event management: Our AI Maps can create a hassle-free event management process and transform your static map into a real-time interactive and customizable map for all to enjoy.
• AI and lead generation: Jublia Scan, our intelligent lead scanner can automate lead temperature and fast-track the lead generation process. 

Now that you’ve seen the potential of this human and AI collaboration, rather than fearing its capabilities can exceed yours, you learn to live with it, grow with it, and take advantage of the many new opened doors of possibilities you get to go through.

Have you ever took a step back and thought that your exhibitors directory/catalog/listing can be of better use than just being a static directory? In fact, an exhibitors’ directory is one of the biggest component at any exhibition in providing the first channel for your customers to initiate online to offline sourcing. To some, it may even serve as an assessment tool for them to visit your show.

Here’s why the team at Jublia is taking what we have done best with Jublia MATCH, the smart private business matching solution, to create Jublia MATCH Open, the ultimate public directory for your exhibition. Here’s why:

‍

1. Mobile ready

Directory (e-directory or physical copy) is the most common sight at any exhibition itself. Without the need to download or login to any platform, organisers can market and provide a mobile optimised e-directory to any onsite visitors/buyers to merge real-time online to offline sourcing. One of the biggest restriction of any event app is the barrier to download the app. Jublia MATCH Open essentially eliminates that.

2. Leads generation for your marketing/sales department

We believe a directory can be more deeply integrated into driving higher effectiveness for your marketing and sales department. Users on a directory generate data that can be great insights for organisers to further nurture their leads or generate new leads. Speak to us and we can advise in further details on how a directory can be effectively connected to your marketing/sales pipes to boost leads generation.

‍

3. Moderated communications; more qualified leads for Exhibitors

Anyone viewing the directory can send a message, inquiry or RFP to the relevant exhibitors. These messages will be routed first through Jublia for spam detection, rogue messages moderation followed by content approval via Jublia/organiser before being passed on as genuine and qualified leads to the exhibitors.

‍

4. Increase Pre-Registrants

Unregistered prospects who may be doing their searches or utilising the directory will be prompted and can easily jump to the event registration form. This will boost up pre-registration opportunity. It also provides a connected and seamless process to link up with the business matching platform, Jublia MATCH.

The best way to understand how the dynamic and in our words , ultimate, exhibition directory will work for you will be to allow us to walk you through a short demo. If you are already in contact with a Jublia staff, just drop him/her a note for a short demo call with regards to Jublia MATCH Open. If not, please email us at info@jublia.com and we will arrange for a demo call for your consideration at your event.

This is probably going to be ironic, taking the fact that Jublia is a event tech startup, and we should be evangelising on digital benefits for your business, rather than the opposite.

However, after reading this insightful article on Harvard Business Review, I believe it should be put into the context of our industry to provide an alternative viewpoint.

I would like to present the 4 points discussed in the HBR article, and put them in context of our industry.

1. Network effects: The winner does not always take all.

Network effects can drive consolidation and in some cases inevitably, there’s only one big winner in the game (like Facebook in the social media category). However as the article explains that while, “many business models that make extensive use of digital technology have network-type properties”, it is also a “misconception to think that network effects inevitably and always lead to a winner-take-all market”.
In our industry of exhibitions and conferences, there is typically no winners take all situations. The fragmentation of our industry is a strong testament to this and as well as the fact that while we have huge events in every industry, these huge events actually command a minority market share in the industry itself.

Therefore, while digitising your business can give you an edge over your competition (especially when your customers have to make a choice), it is not going to drive out all competitions as “digital disruption” are known for.

2. Complements are not substitutes.

The second misconception, as the article notes is that “digital disruption is that new technology will inevitably substitute old technology, rendering it obsolete”. A few years ago, virtual events were all the rage and many people feared that their underlying event business model is threatened by virtual events. However, virtual events found itself to be a hype, and died out not long afterwards.

Virtual events never managed to replace in-person events.

However, what led on from there was the digitisation of events, where digital tools are introduced as complementary to the event itself, rather than replace it. While some organisers introduce digital marketplace platforms, they were only aimed at bolstering the event brands, in a bid to provide a more wholesome buy-sell experience with a mix of hybrid digital and onsite experience.

The article could not have said it better: “Business models and competitive advantages are complex systems. This means that they consist of multiple elements — some of them tangible; some intangible — which interact with one another, meaning that it is their combination that makes it work. In many markets, digital will just add one new factor to the mix or replace one element, but not often all of them. This means that in many businesses, digital technology will complement and alter the incumbents’ existing resources and capabilities, but it certainly won’t always entirely replace them altogether. Therefore, when making strategy, the focus should be on identifying complements, rather than assuming complete substitution.”

I will let you decide if the “event apps will replace your physical catalogs” pitches that you are receiving from vendors make any sense now.

3. Geography (still) matters

Basically this points prove why exhibitions and conferences still holds a huge lead on digital platforms where physical interactions must be facilitated. This also tell us that the technology that you may employ in your events should not be left to work out itself. You always need a team of concierges/specialists to ensure that your customers is getting the maximum value from your events with the right digital tools to automate and ease the facilitation process (for example, meetings scheduling is an impersonal process that can be automated).

This is why Jublia always advocate a Technology-First approach, rather than a Technology-Only approach to your events.

4. Speed? Not so fast.

Hype versus the real deals. Digitisation of events have brought opportunists who sell hypes, rather than technologies that really work. The results of ‘all-in-one digital platforms’ and ‘features laden event apps’ have been paltry at best.

While early adopters may get a bigger lead on their peers, it is important to benchmark the underlying claims made by providers, to see if you are really riding on a hype train, or the real deal. To do that, set key KPIs against the providers claims to see if the technology really works, and if it translate to tangible benefits for your organisation, and constantly iterate the technology use-cases against how your customers are reacting to them.

And as the article sounds out: “If your company is in an environment in which new technologies come and go quickly, you may need to slow down rather than speed up. Given the level of market uncertainty, you will really only be able to distinguish the fads from the more substantial developments after some time has passed. It may sound paradoxical, but in an environment of rapid change, sometimes trying to match that speed can backfire.”

Being a product focused company, we are always looking to innovate our product for a simple and smart experience. After sieving through countless comments and feedback about Match and better understanding of the data points on how different users use our app, we are proud to present the fourth generation of Jublia MATCH App.

Here are 4 reasons, why this is the best MATCH App yet.

‍

Search focused

We noticed that no matter the size of your event, what attendees really want is to reach out to the most relevant leads. A visual re-design of MATCH was made to deliver an intuitive and singular focus for users to get to their intended prospects in the fastest way possible. We also improved our backend algorithm that saw a 5x speed improvement on search while filtering through a limitless number of attributes (as much as organisers can provide).

We are now working very closely with organisers to add on just the right type of attributes and data for search and profiling of their attendees so as not to fall into the two extremes: 1) Overwhelm users with too many search attributes or 2) Disallow users to find suitable prospects due to insufficient data.

‍

A native App experience, for those who want it

Our data shows that most users are comfortable with using a web app to arrange their business meetings, whether it is on the desktop or on their phone/tablet. However, our user studies show some power users want to access the platform like a native app. Thus, we have made it a point to deliver a mobile-first experience for users and most importantly, for users who wants the app on their phone, they can easily install it as an app*.

Now, Match officially supports the preferred platform for each user, be it native or via web, with the same set of business matching features.

*That being said, we are not a fully featured event app. At Jublia, we are highly focused in delivering the best 1–1 meetings at events and Match is designed to be centered around business matching.

Streamlined meetings management

We looked at how meetings were scheduled, rescheduled and cancelled and acted on users suggestions on how this can be made better. In this new Match, we designed a unified meetings list for users to manage the rescheduling and cancellation of meetings. We also made it much easier to view a profile, and then act on it. Profiles are made even smarter by an upgraded contextual engine which provide the required information for users to act on a request.

We have also added a new setting where users can now set their notification preference on whether if they would like to receive immediate, summary or disable the updates on their meetings

‍

An even more personalised experience

A human approach to 1–1 meetings is one of our core beliefs.
We have pored through our different emails and looked at the different follow ups we do with the end users and improved on the things that works while eliminating the ones that do not. This is ultimately geared towards providing a top-tier concierge service to the users and in turn, driving the best results for their meetings.

— — — — -

I personally am really excited about this new Match. It truly exemplifies what Jublia is about: getting anyone in an event to his/her most relevant leads in the easiest way possible while not locking up ourselves on any platforms. Our almost obsessive focus on measuring usage sentiments have allowed us to continuously evolve our solutions to what users need, not want.

This new Match is truly a new milestone for Jublia so do drop us an email for a in-depth demo on how this can be used for your exhibition, conference, hosted buyers programme, specialised 1–1 meetings and more.

Match will be officially rolled out for events that is launched after today.

In the webbed world of event planning, data emerges as the ultimate hero, akin to a web-slinging champion navigating the bustling city of events. Just as Miles Morales seamlessly balances his role as a hero, you, as event organizers, deftly navigate the intricate web of event orchestration.

There are 88% of event professionals that think data collection is crucial in their events and use it as their spidey-senses. They use it to personalize their marketing efforts which results in more effective campaigns and finely-tuned attendee targeting. After all, in the Dataverse, data isn't just a collection of numbers; it's the intricate web that maps out every detail, from understanding audience preferences, managing risks, and ultimately crafting exceptional user experiences. 

Unravel the secrets to mastering event data's web with us and discover how data not only overcomes challenges but propels your events to unparalleled heights👇

‍

Web-slinging through data collection: why it matters

1. Tailored experience through understanding customer behavior

Event data collection allows us to move beyond broad trends and grasp individual attendee actions and preferences. It's like having a magnifying glass on every participant where we can see exactly how each unique participant interacts with your brand, products, and event. Data allows us to track which sessions they attend, what aspects of the event engage them the most, and how they interact with event features. This detailed insight enables precise tailoring of their experience.

2. Identifying friction points and improving them

Furthermore, collecting data is not merely for “the sake of it”, but to help you translate collected data into actionable insight. Analyze trends, patterns, and meaningful information to refine your strategies, identify opportunities, and optimize interactions for event success.

‍

Navigating the Dataverse: unveiling the user data journey 

Within the sprawling Dataverse of event planning, understanding the user data journey is paramount. It's a journey marked by phases, each with its own role and significance. In this exploration, we traverse all the 4 phases:  Acquisition, Activation, Engagement, and Retention, unraveling how data serves as the invisible thread weaving through them.

‍

The 1st Phase - Acquisition

For the very first phase, acquisition is actually a wide web to attract new users, customers, or attendees to your event with the primary goal of increasing awareness and igniting interest. In events, this stage is where you cast your net to gather and entice attendees.

You might wonder if event data plays a role here, considering the event itself hasn't begun. In truth, this is one of the best phases to utilize your data, since you can use past event data to transform it into on-point event planning and marketing strategies.

✏️  Take note of these best examples!

Data-powered narratives: Use your past event data to craft compelling narratives. Transform it into marketing materials such as dynamic infographics, eye-catching posters, previous performance reports, and more! You can also use these data  to forecast future algorithms, unveil potential patterns in attendee behavior, and stay ahead of upcoming trends. Also reach out to a wider audience with Jublia’s public hub – your event platform without the hassle of logging in!

Personal connections: Reach out personally to past attendees with personalized and targeted content. You might be amazed with the power of nurturing past attendees and loyal customers and its impact on raising awareness of your current events.

‍

The 2nd Phase - Activation

In the general user activation phase, you get to motivate newly acquired users to take specific actions or engage with your offerings or products with the goal of transforming these newcomers into active participants through initial interactions.

Similarly, for events specifically, this marks the attendees’ first “official” interaction with your current event. It revolves around the crucial stages of registration and onboarding, where you closely observe their initial interactions with you and the crucial phase to initially introduce your features or event tools. Here, you can also pinpoint the most popular points of interest and identify areas with lack of engagement, providing opportunities for improvement. 

✏️  Take note of these best examples!

Weaving the web traffic: Keep a watchful eye on the web visits which signifies the initial curiosity of your attendees. Analyze which sections of the website they explore, which content or agenda engages them most and refine your online presence or event strategy to tailor to their preferences.

Event app uptake monitoring: You can also harness data to gauge the level of active user engagement with the app post-download. This invaluable insight enables you to determine whether your attendees are genuinely utilizing the app or merely downloading it without a clear purpose. If the latter is the case, this presents an opportunity to refine your feature adoption strategies. By showcasing the app's benefits and offering detailed tutorials, you can entice users to embrace its full potential and enrich their event experience.

‍

The 3rd Phase - Engagement

This phase focuses on the ongoing interaction and involvement of users with a product, people, or company. This is to maintain the interest and satisfaction of users. Within events, this phase presents a prime opportunity to increase continuous awareness of your features/tools and drive adoption.

‍

✏️  Take note of these best examples!

Mapping out attendee interactions: Explore how many attendees engage with each of your event elements. With Jublia, you can even track data for specific "People," "Companies," or "Products." Dive into metrics such as requests and bookmarks which will assist you in analyzing attendee preferences and fine-tune your event offerings.

Scan analytics for insights: Utilize lead scanner analytics to gather potential leads and analyze the interest in your products or services. Our AI-powered Jublia Scan can even automatically sort lead temperatures and other detailed information about your attendees, way beyond what’s written in name cards. With these data, you can seamlessly generate high-quality leads and improve your follow up process to drive sales and revenue.

Leverage real-time event data to drive feature adoption: Utilize real-time data in the event to see if your attendees are actually making the most of your event tools and ensure active engagement within your events. Identify areas for real-time improvement, ensuring that attendees are having meaningful interactions and more.

Real-time targeted campaigns: You can also provide targeted campaigns by analyzing the content and people your attendees interacted with and recommend sessions they might like or the like-minded people they’d probably love to interact with. You can do so through the recommendation sections on your app or offering it real-time through push notifications on your event app (or both!). This enhances their event experience and keeps them engaged.

‍

The 4th Phase - Retention

In the Retention phase, companies work to keep existing users, customers, or clients and prevent them from churning or discontinuing their engagement. The goal is to build long-term relationships, loyalty, and repeat usage. In events, this is where we make sure that our attendees are continuing their engagement even after the event ends.

✏️  Take note of these best examples!

Personalized post-event outreach: Send out personalized emails to sustain engagement with your brand. Keep the connection alive by sharing valuable content, updates, and insights tailored to their interests.

Empowering exhibitors: Conduct post-event follow-ups and educate exhibitors on how to leverage the data they've collected throughout the event. This helps you and your exhibitors continue engaging with potential leads, transforming event interactions into lasting relationships.

Capturing sentiment: Gather information about attendee sentiment through surveys and post-event satisfaction interviews. These insights become valuable assets for shaping the future of your events, ensuring each one surpasses the last.

‍

Being a data-centric company, we are continuously building the necessary tools to handle and process the data we obtain from our clients. Our data management tool, Datasync, lets us easily sync attendee data with our system. It allows our clients to add, update, or delete new attendees with ease. However, we realized a need to make Datasync more flexible to work with organizers who have varied networking requirements.

‍

What is Datascheme?

Datascheme is our underlying framework for Datasync allowing organizers to provide a flexible schema to achieve their specific networking goals. Let me take you through the reasoning behind creating this novel structure and what it means for our clients:

‍

Groups

Datascheme allows you to separate the different groups of people attending an event. This becomes an extremely handy feature when the organizer want to categorize their clients based on their profiles (e.g. classify event attendees as VIPs, Sponsors, Trade Visitors (Type A), Trade Visitors (Type B), Buyers and so on). This allows the organizer to manage each group independently of the others with specific controls. They can restrict the visibility of each group to allow only certain groups to meet each other.

‍

Data attributes

With Datascheme, we can set additional data attributes associated with each person for your event. So if you have fields on your registration form that you intend to show on our networking platform Jublia Match, fret not! You can add any number of data attributes into Datasync and they will be reflected in Match. This makes it easier for your event attendees to filter the list of event attendees into their target audience based on these new attributes which are kept updated at real-time.

‍

Networking styles

We understand that all organisers have their own networking ideas to fit their own unique event. With Datascheme, we make this possible. You can organise speed meetings alongside exhibitors meetings at booths on one platform. You can manage multi-sites meetings with Jublia at your event too.

Do not worry if you are unsure of the best networking approach to your event. At Jublia, we take a data-driven approach of recommending the right networking fit for your event profile, based on the 80+ events that we have worked with.
Event on event, we measure the sentiments from your delegates (via our concierge service) to further evolve the networking style at your event, making ‘better’ even better.

‍

What does this mean for you as an organiser?

More flexibility to build the best networking (just like how you build the best content at your event). Ultimately, the combination of the best content and networking translates to excellent business value at your event. To top it off, as our existing clients would have realized, there is no additional involvement required from organizers with these specific improvements to our system.

If you are interested to find out more, drop us an email at info@jublia.com and we will take you on a quick demo on how we can achieve your networking goals.

Into our first decade in the industry, we at Jublia have been experiencing various kinds of weather as we embark on our adventure every single time. The heaviest storm we faced was probably the sharp dive from live to virtual events that happened almost three years ago.

But just like they say, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Two years of arguably the biggest global health challenge namely the COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be a blessing in disguise, at least for us. Not only did we discover our ability to adapt to changes fast, but we also experienced the fastest growth so far, especially in our product department.

Starting fresh in 2023 when the world has almost fully recovered, we couldn’t wait for new opportunities that lie ahead.

‍

A Little Look Back to 2022

We kicked off 2022 with uncertainties threatening our every step. Just like everyone else, we were not sure whether it was safe to gather with a group of people or to travel abroad. We had tasted the bitterness of uncertainty ourselves when one of the events we partnered with, AntwerpXL, had to change its format last minute due to safety concerns.

But as the world was slowly recovering, Jublia then took a stance on the live side — we believe that in-person events were coming back. Entering the second quarter of last year, health regulations were loosened and travel bans were lifted every other day. The live events slowly found back its footing much to the industry’s delight. Despite virtual events had been the hero during the hard times, one simply couldn’t deny that experiencing an event in person remained irreplaceable.

Last year has also been the busiest year for us with a series of major product releases kicking off in the second half. Starting with Jublia App 3.0, Jublia Scan, Public Hub, and most recently Jublia AI Maps. 

Strengthening Our Footing in the Coming Year

End-to-end engagement hub for events

We are rapidly growing as an engagement hub and we will continue to improve ourselves to get the most out of every engagement touchpoint for each stakeholder in every event. Therefore, we are making sure that all features in our hub are interconnected to get a true end-to-end engagement experience. 

Like setting up meetings and locating the meeting venue on the AI Maps which is just a click away, or a multi-channel unified user experience through both web and the event app. You can also explore smart lead generation that lets your audience and scanners unveil the information, interest, and intent of the other parties.

We will make sure that your event data tells a great story from the first chapter up to the beautiful ending from a single engagement source of truth. So that you can gather the right information and use it for all your future event needs.

‍

Refining our DigitaLIVE recipes

Ever since the second quarter of last year, we have introduced DigitaLIVE as our main framework to navigate our way through the industry post-pandemic. We believed that digital tools are not the cherry on top for live events, but play a bigger role in enhancing the event experience which eventually results in good engagement.

Fast forward to almost a year later, we still adjust and improve ourselves to meet the growing needs of MICE industry to create better events that bring satisfaction to all stakeholders involved. We may have had our biggest releases in the second half of last year, but it doesn't mean we're stopping there.

With the experience and knowledge we have collected for a decade in the industry – along with all the ups and downs, we'll continue to use it as ingredients to cook the best digital solutions for all types of events.

‍

A greener world through digital solutions

Sustainability is a broad spectrum that is almost impossible for us to reach every nook and corner of it. However, by harnessing our specialties in developing digital solutions for events, we strive to contribute more at the maximum possibility to create greener events.

Beyond maximizing the ROI and increasing the events’ physicality, digital solutions developed and provided by Jublia currently reduce excessive usage of paper and printed assets, bringing us closer to a greener world.

‍

Integration with anyone, anywhere, anytime

We have worked hand-in-hand with various partners in 2022 and we plan to partner more in 2023. We will always strive our best to gain your trust and make sure you, your attendees, and every single stakeholder get the best out of your events instead of struggling with vendor integrations. So prepare yourself for more collaborations and partnerships resulting in seamless integrations and cost-effective solutions from us!

‍

Talk with Us!

We are excited about 2023 and what it has in store for us. What about you? How’s your event planning going? We’d like to hear more about it and see how we can help you reach a higher level of success for your events this year.
