Relationships are not only vital in your personal life. It is equally, if not more, important to build long lasting relationships in your work life as well.

In the event industry, you can either choose to have a vendor or a partner to host your events. As an organizer, these two different roles are critical in denoting your relationship with your chosen event vendor, as well as the ROI and subsequent success of your event.

Vendor VS Partner: Similar Yet Different

You might think that both a vendor and partner are the same. However, they are the complete opposite even though both work together to bring your event to life. So, what is the difference between having a vendor or a partner to host your events?

A vendor only focuses on offering what is required to you. They will have limited knowledge on your pain points and allocate the standard time and resources required to answer your queries and hosting your event. Ultimately, your event may end successfully, but definitely nowhere near the potential success it can reach. To put it simply, you pay and get what you paid for.

A partner, however, is the complete opposite. They will go the extra mile to understand and eliminate your pain points, and work tirelessly with you to enhance your event’s experience and ensure that your event can reach greater heights. In a sense, a partner is just as invested as you are in ensuring your event reaches its greatest potential.

Building An Alliance In Partnerships

A client partnership will only occur if both parties are interested in and taking the steps to build a lasting relationship with each other. When you start to build a strong relationship with your vendor, they become your ally in improving your event, and a client partnership occurs.

Instead of the common business practice of getting what you paid for, and going separate ways after the business transaction is over, a client partnership means that your partner will support and take responsibility to work with you from pre-event all the way to post-event. The both of you will focus on building trust, commitment and transparency with each other.

However, it certainly takes time for a relationship to build, and even more effort for it to grow strong and last. If so, what are the compelling reasons for you to make this investment worthwhile?

Engagement is the Name of The Game

Ever since the restriction on physical conferences and trade shows, everyone in the events industry has been clamouring for a piece of the virtual event pie. The proliferation of tech-enabled features such as interactive virtual booths, real-time livestreams together with on-demand video access and even gamification has paved the way in enhancing new attendee experiences.

Negotiating the terrain of audience engagement is certainly a gruelling task, with the 2021 AMEX Global Meetings & Events Forecast citing ‘Lack of engagement’ as the third biggest challenge amongst its respondents when it comes to virtual meetings [1].

By now, event organisers all around the world are surely aware that engagement is the name of the game. Simply thinking of solutions to address this problem is the easy part — there seems to be a hundred and one ways to capture the attention of the audience. The real obstacle lies in assessing and ascertaining the value of specific “must have” features in the context of the entire event.

Jublia’s innovations are carefully designed to be functional and engaging. With that, we are extremely excited to announce our partnership with Pigeonhole Live!

Driving Meaningful Interactions through In-session Q&A, Polling and Live Chat!

Besides networking, engagement in the virtual B2B events space is primarily driven by curated content sessions that involve keynote speeches, panel discussions, expert opinions and other popular formats. However, why just stop there? We believe that these sessions can be elevated to even greater heights; and we’ve done just that through a deep integration with Pigeonhole Live to drive real-time organic interactions.

Pigeonhole Live is a powerful communication platform that is an essential add-on to your live and virtual events. Trusted by a number of notable organisations such as McCann, GlaxoSmithKline and HubSpot, Pigeonhole Live’s solutions are the gold-standard in audience interaction. Pigeonhole Live offers a myriad of features such as:

• In-session Q&A which includes voting, moderation, ratings and new questions discovery.
• Multiple Choice Polling where participants can vote on predefined answers and view real-time results in bar chart or pie chart formats.
• Poll Scales where Numeric, Draggable and Icon Scales may be employed to gather audience ratings.
• Open-Ended Polling which allows participants to submit free-form text answers.
• Live Chat which is the perfect environment for free-flowing and vibrant conversations.

That’s not all — Pigeonhole Live’s Insights page provides you with key metrics such as participant count, Q&A ratings, poll votes and demographic information. This data will be extremely useful as part of your post-event review, giving you a solid base for future planning.

Deep Integration with Pigeonhole Live

• End-to-end identity integration so that organisers can always map responses to the respective attendee.

• Greater monetary value through an all-in, cost-effective bundled pricing Pigeonhole Live Enterprise is included in our Match 360° PRO account!

Ready to Supercharge Your Agenda Sessions?

The team over at Pigeonhole Live has created an amazing step-by-step guide on how you can easily integrate the Pigeonhole Live with Jublia which you can read here. We have worked closely with them to ensure that the integration process is entirely smooth and seamless.

It is time to bid farewell to static, one-way speaker presentations and say hello to dynamic, two-way interactions that bridge the gap between speaker and audience. Business events are often graced by attendees who are at the forefront of their respective industries and it would certainly be a wasted opportunity to relegate them as mere spectators during an Agenda session.

Do you remember when you were searching for your first job as a fresh graduate? It’s definitely a tiring and daunting process if no one is there to guide you. To help their undergraduates kickstart their career search, Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) has been organizing annual E-Career Fairs since 2018.

SUSS’s 2022 E-Career Fair #BEHIRED took place between 14th to 18th March 2022, and was hosted on Jublia’s digital platform to bring together undergraduates and employers, through a DigitaLIVE Journey. In 2022, SUSS partnered with Jublia for the E-Career Fair.

This year’s SUSS E-Career Fair #BEHIRED leveraged several unique platform functionalities, in addition to the usual job posting and resume depository functions. These include:

• Simple and seamless registration
• Live chats and real-time video interactions
• Virtual Employer Sharing Sessions
• AI-powered Profiles and Role Recommendations and Matching

‍

Pre-Event Registration: Less Hassle, More Prep Time

The event commenced with pre-registration by the invited participants using  one of Jublia’s integrated solutions, Reg Collective.

The pre-registration and set up phase allowed participants (employers and undergraduates) to prepare their profiles for showcase ahead of the event period.

The AI-powered platform meant that the employment needs of the undergraduates as well as the recruitment needs of the employers are taken into consideration and duly matched. Based on the AI’s recommendation, undergraduates are invited to preview employers, as well as to indicate interest to attend employers’ sharing sessions. Similarly, employers are recommended undergraduates’ profiles, based on their recruitment requirements.

A pre-event briefing session was also organized to guide registered participants on how to navigate through the platform and share tips on how to make the most out of the virtual event.

‍

Recommendations For You

A “For You” page was created with Jublia’s AI solution to help both participating undergraduates and employers efficiently find positions and candidates suited to their requirements respectively.

The AI solutions made use of user behaviors during the career fair to make meaningful recommendations for the participants. The user behaviors refer specifically to the actions they took on the platform, such as the candidates employers viewed and the job openings candidates clicked on. As a result, the quality of meetings between candidates and employers were also well suited towards their preferences and requirements. 

The “For You” page proved to be reliable based on the amount of views generated through the recommendations, which is over 655,000 impressions compared to organic and manual search.

Jublia also deployed an AI Matchmaking solution to ensure that all virtual interaction between undergraduates and employers was deliberate and targeted.

The efficacy of the AI solution was proven by the number of conversations made during the E-Career Fair’s lifetime.

The True Value

Besides the E-Career Fair’s overall success, the true treasure for SUSS lies in the data analytics. From pre-event to post-event, a wholesome suite of connected analytics allowed SUSS to enhance their career fair’s engagement through real-time data as the fair progressed.

This connected analytics journey powered by Jublia’s platform’s technology was designed to provide qualifying ROI, a performance measure to evaluate an investment's efficiency, for event participants, as well as traffic measurement metrics for SUSS. 

With unlimited access to the event-related analytics, SUSS was able to visualize, facilitate and encourage better matchmaking as well as spark more meaningful conversations between undergraduates and employers.

The experience of both participants and employers was recorded from the post-event survey. 

Using insights gleaned from the data, SUSS will also have better ideas on creating an even more meaningful and rewarding experience for their undergraduates during their next career fair.

‍

With Great Effort Comes Great Rewards

The success of the event is evidenced through the positive feedback received through post-event surveys.

Here are some comments from undergraduates who attended the event:

“The platform was easy to navigate and I could easily connect with employers.”

“Easy and all-in-one, it was very convenient to use the platform.”

“I had really insightful conversations with the HRs I managed to connect with!”

“It was nice and easy to connect with different companies and speak to them.”

“The setup meeting was very accurate whereby the potential job opportunities aligned to my interest.”

‍

One of the secret keys in holding a successful career fair lies in the partnership with a robust digital provider, whose solutions are tailored to your event’s needs and bring the best out of it.

We at Jublia understand the importance of a digital platform for any type of events. With almost a decade of experience under our belt, we are ready to empower your live career events digitally.

The Digital Edge for Events, Part 1

In the next couple of articles, we explore the theme of The Digital Edge for Events. From choosing strategic event tech partners to managing your event’s big data and more, we show you how to capitalise on digital tools, giving you an edge over others in the events industry.

‍

‍

Strategic Partners or Event Tech Vendors?

Website development, registration systems, business matching applications, Q&A and polling platforms are just a few examples of the different technologies organisers use in event planning to enhance attendees’ satisfaction. With such a huge variety and choices in the market these days, the choosing process becomes increasingly complex. Managing all these different event technology may become especially problematic if one does not have the technical know-how to understand how it works, or to coordinate all the solutions seamlessly. Event organisers want to use a long term solution that works so that they can continue to use it for their other events. Therein lies several questions; how do you decide which event technologies to use? Would you rather build something yourself or work with a technology provider? How are you going to maximise the use of this technology solution? And most importantly, what is the ROI for adopting these technologies?

‍

‍

That’s where strategic partnerships come in.

Instead of simply focusing on an event tech’s functionality, event organisers need to look out for several other aspects from the provider as well. Requirements for support and understanding from tech partners is highly essential as the events industry becomes loaded with more and more complicated technologies. A vendor that empathises with your business objectives and develops a plan WITH YOU is definitely a partner to keep.

There are several things one should look out for which would help to determine if someone is a mere vendor or a strategic partner.

‍

Develops the Plan With YOU

As mentioned earlier, do they aim to understand your business objectives and genuinely strive to help you reach them? Are they simply trying to sell you their product, or helping you achieve more by using it? Having a vendor that first sits down, hears you out, and then develops a plan with you, would be able to best fit their solution and craft a much better win-win situation.

‍

Support and Commitment

One vital point is the degree and kind of support they offer, such as pre-event training of your on-site team on how to use the tech available, and their flexibility in dealing with your queries and needs. The company should be committed to helping you and constantly putting in effort into maintaining and bettering the relationship.

‍

Competency

Are they a well-known player in the market and do they deliver? Check out their case studies, reviews and recommendations from other event planners. Obtaining some statistics would be a good way to evaluate too. For example, what is their event tech adoption rate as compared to the industry’s average? These are some of the best ways to gauge the company’s competency.

‍

Digestible Analytics

A survey by specialist recruitment firm Robert Half polled 800+ CTOs from a range of industries and revealed that data mining occurs very often — at 96% in Singapore, 90% in the UK and 70% in Australia, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Germany and Japan. Also, data collected is used by a large 42% of Singapore companies when making business decisions. However, there are inadequacies of data mining.

Some companies have too much data, or lack skilled professionals to help understand it. Therefore, an organiser should look out for a strategic partner that helps you understand and gain valuable insights from data collected. Metrics for measurements should be clear and concise. Are there tools that help to provide not just a whole chunk of data, but frames the numbers in an easily digestible way? Not all of us analyze data on a regular basis! Therefore, information provided should be easy to grasp and use.

‍

‍

Innovation and Integration with Other Tech

Another important aspect is its ability to integrate with other tools, platforms and event tech, ensuring that everything connects seamlessly. You would not want to keep accessing and crossing from one platform to another! Its emphasis on innovation and user experience is vital too. They should be striving to better the experience of your attendees through constant improvements on their product. Are they developing their products to fit with the next wave of new data technologies?

To maximise your ROI, focus not just on the capabilities of the product but also, keep in mind to search for strategic partners instead of mere vendors. This way, everyone grows together.

While the world abounds with uncertainties, one thing is for sure — the extraordinary circumstances brought upon by the global pandemic is no match for the global FinTech community. Standing resolute against the crisis, the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) x Singapore Week of Innovation & Technology (SWITCH) 2020 proved to be a roaring success as it treated heads of state, industry leaders, policy makers, investors as well as multilateral agencies to an electrifying first-of-its-kind hybrid experience.

Hybrid at the Edge of New Frontiers

In response to COVID-19 restrictions and safety measures, the traditionally face-to-face event transitioned to a 24-hour hybrid platform, harnessing the powers of digitisation and leveraging an increasingly tech-enabled global landscape.

Speaking on the format of the festival, Edwin Chow, Assistant Chief Executive Officer (Innovation & Enterprise), Enterprise Singapore, said, “SFF x SWITCH’s hybrid programme breaks down the barriers the barriers of geography and time zone with the innovation and startup communities, making this a truly global event for everyone to participate in.”

SFF x SWITCH 2020 showed that going hybrid does not mean sacrificing user experience. The immersive Online City hosted a number of engaging activities such as live sessions with climate scientists, FinTech masterclasses and experimental musical performances.

The pioneering hybrid event was spearheaded by the industry leader in trade exhibitions and conferences, SingEx. With a strong portfolio of events spanning various sectors such as Innovation and Technology, Industrial Transformation and Sustainability, SingEx is an established leader in the business events space. The indispensable value of SingEx’s robust engagement solutions was key to the success of SFF x SWITCH 2020 from start to finish.

Emphasising on the importance of user-centered design, Aloysius Arlando, Chief Executive Officer, SingEx, said “Together with our partners we’ve designed the entire customer journey identifying critical touchpoints for optimal experiential engagements, paving the way for a bold new format that’s driven by customer insights.”

Multifaceted Global Summits

A carefully curated agenda brought an array of invaluable content experiences which revolved around 5 main themes — Economic, Impact, Infrastructure, Investor and Talent. These summits were graced by a star-studded cast of speakers, with notable personalities such as New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella offering insightful perspectives on the colossal FinTech ecosystem.

A common thread which ran through all 5 themes was unsurprisingly the role of technology in crisis response. As Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, succinctly expressed during the Economic Summit, “We have seen this year, how online has been a lifeline”.

The pandemic has certainly accelerated digital transformation, with Mr. Pichai noting that “In South East Asia, 8 out of 10 people said that technology helped them navigate the pandemic. Whether it was families searching for the latest COVID-19 information to small businesses using digital tools to reach new customers, or students continuing to learn remotely.”

‍

Multinational Global Business Matching

Supplementing the diverse array of content were networking opportunities from around the world, as part of the event’s unique round-the-clock 24/5 value proposition. This was an important element which formed the basis of the hybrid event’s Online City.

Jublia is proud to have been the event service provider for SFF x SWITCH 2020. It was thrilling working alongside an amazing team and partners to pull off such a successful behemoth of an event, one of the first hybrid models at that. Jublia has been close partners of the Singapore FinTech Festival since 2017 and we are definitely grateful for this continuing collaboration.

For the 2020 edition, we were tasked with the duty of empowering engagement and networking for the event’s global community. With our expertise, participating organisations from various virtual locales were able to share and engage with other global participants in discussions as well as schedule 1-to-1 meetings with each other. Some of these meaningful connections include private equity companies with investment firms and leading technology hirers with the best and brightest industry talent.

Over 4,400 business meetings were facilitated through SFF x SWITCH which speaks volumes to the words said by the government’s enterprise development agency. “We believe this event will continue to provide the ideal platform for innovation enablers, enterprises and startups from both Singapore and other countries to forge new global connections and make new deals.”

Conclusion

In spite of the unfortunate disruptions to the events landscape, the Singapore FinTech Festival has maintained an unwavering commitment towards providing a state-of-the-art platform for the growth of the FinTech ecosystem. The digital readiness of all those involved is in line with the dynamic nature of the industry, with the success of SFF x SWITCH 2020 as a testament to the industrious ambition and steadfast vigour of the global FinTech community.

Once again, Jublia would like to express our gratitude to the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Enterprise Singapore and SingEx Holdings Pte Ltd for this partnership opportunity. If you would like to know how you could similarly scale your events to greater heights with virtual or hybrid solutions, please feel free to drop us a note at info@jublia.com or reach out to anyone you know at Jublia!

Lets revisit one of our first event, InnovFest 2013. InnovFest 2013 is one of the largest technology events brought together by NUS Enterprise. It was a 3-day event on innovation and enterprise-related activities that boost activity amongst industry players, entrepreneurs, SMEs, and others.

One of the popular plugins from Jublia was tasked to automate the private networking aspect of the event. The event organisers wanted to facilitate one-to-one business partnering sessions by matching mutual attendees and automatically arrange 30-minute meetings for them in a reserved quiet meeting space that facilitates focused and undisturbed discussions. In addition, Jublia also helped with the attendee-exhibitor interaction by facilitating fixed meetings at the exhibitors booths. Exhibitors like Singtel L!feLabs and Covidien used it extensively to set meetings.

Having a large number of attendees from a varied mix of industries and professions, InnovFest was crucial in testing the effectiveness of our relevance algorithm, RevRank.

It was delightful to realise that approximately 80% of the attendees were present for their meetings, and many lasted for much longer than the stipulated 30minutes timeslot itself when I spoke to the person who was handling the meeting schedules at the entrance to the private networking area.

This definitely shows that pre-arranged private networking can drive valuable engagement during an event for attendees.

Apart from that, the learning aspect of collaborating with an event organiser has helped us tremendously. It lead to a UI overhaul to bring the best experience for our users. Just take a look at the latest version of Jublia match (http://vimeo.com/67862850) where we have incorporated many of the feedback derived from this event!

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but at Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week 2021 that was held from the 8th to 16th November, the beholders themselves are in-charge of redefining all things beauty instead. Convening experts, leaders and professionals from all corners of the beauty and wellness industry, Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week 2021 is the international platform for companies to showcase their new products and, more importantly, generate leads from relevant buyers as well.

Piloted in 2020, the Digital Week series enabled its attendees to circumvent any travel restrictions and keep up-to-date with the latest beauty and wellness developments. Amongst the similar elements taken from its physical predecessor, Cosmoprof’s Digital Week events have also incorporated data-driven matchmaking through Match&Meet, a centralized platform where attendees can discover and engage with other highly-relevant attendees, companies and products based on their set of personalized interests. Jublia is proud to be the main platform partner assisting Cosmoprof on matching beauty professionals wherever, whenever.

Angel Fu, Event Director of Cosmoprof Asia, highlighted how Jublia enhanced their event’s value proposition for all their attendees: “While this may be the second iteration of Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week, the products and content sessions offered have dynamically changed since last year. The event thus plays an important role in keeping stakeholders afloat on the latest developments, and Match&Meet has greatly enabled us to fulfil that mission. As one of the largest beauty and wellness events, we were glad that Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week 2021 spurred conversations and growth in industries not just in Asia, but across the world as well.”

Match&Meet Mastery

The creative minds behind Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week 2021 have extensively transformed Match&Meet into a massive marketplace that spans over 10 categories and 130 subcategories. This makes it easier for buyers and sellers to meet under the right business circumstances, where both parties can already kick off business negotiations on their specific niches.

Thanks to this, the attendees in total accumulated over 311,000 search results and 76,000 click-throughs. These click-throughs surfaced a plethora of key industrial trends, many of which could help Cosmoprof pivot future events towards more relevant discussions. For instance, the top 3 buyer’s product interests involved:

1. Retail skincare products

2. Natural skincare, cosmetics & personal care products

3. OEM/ODM Service: Skincare Products

These categories, alongside other trending searches, can be used to tailor post-event conversations or even a mini follow-up event that once again gathers relevant buyers and sellers together to catch up on the latest developments, forge new or existing partnerships and most importantly, push the boundaries of the beauty industry to new frontiers regardless of the hindering circumstances.

Beyond products, Digital Week also hosted Cosmotalks, an extensive series of content tracks that dived deep into findings, analyses and case studies on all things beauty within Asia. Match&Meet has pulled off the ability to house 4 tracks containing over 42 unique sessions of webinars, demos, and #beautyhunt by influencers, resulting in over 56,000 views across the entire event.

All in all, the centralized capability of both product and content resulted in many positive comments from beauty experts who’ve attended the event:

Trade Buyer, Thailand:

“Match2Meet made it easy to get in touch with relevant factories, providing a lot of choices which made my experience very worthwhile.”

Standard Exhibitor, Italy:

“The platform is an extremely simple way to meet useful international buyers and build new collaborations in one place.”

Standard Exhibitor, Korea:

“The tools and UI were so easy to utilize, which made accessing my schedule and creating new meeting requests super easy — I’m really satisfied with the efficient platform!”

Speak with Us!

We’re proud to have played a significant role in spearheading innovations and negotiations in the international beauty industry through Cosmoprof Asia Digital Week 2021, and we hope that these efforts will carry on towards the live rendition of Cosmoprof Asia 2022.

We have some exciting updates on Sense, our analytics dashboard, which will make it easier for event organisers to understand how their customers are responding to meeting requests. With this information, organisers can better analyse each meeting request made on our Jublia Match platform. Our clients move one step ahead from knowing ‘who wants to meet who’ to understanding how their customers are using the platform based on the ‘status of each meeting request’.

Let’s jump right into this new level of data and the impact it may have on your organisation. Prior to this, the Acquisition tab on Sense was a collation of all the requests made over Match. With the introduction of the new dataset, every request (successful or not) is classified as either starred, archived or with a no response flag. This is effective when you find unsuccessful requests which are archived (as shown in the picture below) implying those requests are not useful and hence, respondents are choosing to ignore them.

The acquisition breakdown (refer to screenshot below) allows you to see the meeting requests breakdown by customers but there is a new legend which captures the state of every participant and every request. To understand this, we have to differentiate a user (i.e. someone who logs in to see the list of participants) from a person who is active on the platform:

• We define an active attendee as one who has viewed other people on the platform, starred or archived another party or searched for other relevant people on Match.

• As each participant can have an ‘active’ status, each meeting request on Match also has a state associated with it. The state can be ‘viewed’, ‘archived’, or ‘starred’ or any combination of these depending on how the other party responds to the request.

This becomes an integral part of organiser pre-event marketing efforts as they are able to zoom in on their clients with knowledge about how the other party is treating that request. One of the many use cases is making targeted phone calls; organisers can hyper target on non-active VIPs who have a lot of pending meeting requests.

Following the acquisition update, the Reach graph on Overview has been modified to include networking actions made by participants in addition to the current breakdown of email deliverability and account adoption.

These changes have several implications for your organisation and having a good understanding of it will put you in a better position to appreciate the networking health of your event. Our team is happy to consult you on this new dataset if you have an existing Sense account with us.

Over the years, Seafood Expo Asia has evolved into a prominent fixture in the seafood industry. Throughout this journey, Seafood Expo Asia has undergone a remarkable transformation in response to changing circumstances and industry demands, specifically in their last three editions of the Expo - in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Through a partnership with Jublia, which started all the way back to 2016, Diversified Communications worked to plan events that meet the demands. This collaboration played a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless execution of each event edition and its transformation of formats, specifically in the Business Matchmaking program. 

In this case study, we will explore the goals, challenges, and outcomes of these transformative editions, shedding light on how the collaboration collectively met the evolving needs of attendees and stakeholders while holding true to their primary objectives.

Seafood Expo Asia’s Evolution in a Snapshot

Seafood Expo Asia, in each of its editions, holds a consistent objective — fostering top of the line value through private 1-1 meetings for their exhibiting suppliers and top buyers. With this strong value of getting business done at the event, it helps the organizer to grow an attractive pitch to more prospective suppliers.

Despite challenges from global shifts, Seafood Expo Asia navigated format transformations, achieving harmonious progression. 

The 2021 Edition: Virtual Resilience

The edition emerged as a paragon of adaptability amid unprecedented challenges. Confronting global adversities, the event seamlessly transitioned to an entirely virtual format, all thanks to the organizers’ quick thinking and high adaptability skills. Also, at the heart of this event’s digital stage was Jublia’s Web App, that served as the nexus that connected attendees and transcended the confines of physical space.

Infused with advanced AI capabilities, the event’s web app discerningly recommended key individuals, products, and companies, laying the foundation for purposeful virtual interactions. There were a total of 84.45% attendees attending their virtual meetings from the Business Matchmaking Program of this edition, proving that, despite the absence of physical proximity, it steadfastly adhered to its core mission – forging connections among stakeholders in the seafood industry. 

‍

The 2022 Edition: Hybrid Innovation

This edition of Seafood Expo Asia showcased a harmonious blend of on-site presence and a significant digital component in the Business Matchmaking program. This hybrid composition echoed on Jublia's engagement hub, catering to both virtual and on-site attendees in business matchmaking and embodying innovation in networking.

In this event, 400+ meetings were held, experiencing a 13% increase in total of meetings  compared to the previous edition.

‍

The 2023 Edition: A Triumphant Return

Last September, Seafood Expo Asia marked a triumphant return to fully on-site operations. With 363 companies from 41 countries and 26 pavilions, the show's exhibit floor expanded by 84% from the previous year. The overwhelming response, signaled a resounding success in the industry's enthusiasm for in-person engagement. Jublia's digital solutions and the organizers’ expertise effortlessly supported the heightened excitement of face-to-face interactions. For the Business Matchmaking Program in this event, a whopping 90.34% of the registrants attended their fully onsite meetings, growing 11% from the previous edition.

‍

Hand-in-Hand Through the Roller Coaster

In Seafood Expo Asia's dynamic landscape, our journey resembled a roller coaster—full of twists and turns. While mostly smooth due to the organizer's familiarity with Jublia through the Expo’s Business Matchmaking program, both parties had to navigate conversations for 40+ countries and diverse regional pavilions in varied event formats.

Jublia's proficiency in matchmaking, coupled with the organizer's meticulous preparation of accurate and high-quality attendee data, ensured precise matches. The strategic input of well-categorized demographics empowered Match 360°, delivering not only quick and relevant connections for buyers and exhibitors but also enabling attendees to search with high relevance. This underscores the significance of 'rubbish in, rubbish out' in optimizing the value of the event experience.

Jublia Match 360°, fueled by advanced AI, strategically recommends key connections based on preferences and industry relevance, guiding participants towards meaningful interactions. The Web App serves as a proactive compass, enabling participants to initiate networking well before the event. Attendees can seamlessly bookmark and request 1-on-1 meetings, aligning with the organizers' ingenuity for effective and purposeful connections.

The organizers, for every edition, even specifically requested for a customized pavilion bar where attendees can easily search for companies categorized into different countries. They can also explore the products through the product menu of the Web App, making sure attendees can effortlessly search the products, people, and companies they were looking for.

Attendee Satisfaction Soars: A Closer Look

Not only did the Seafood Expo Asia events excel in fostering connections, but they also garnered unprecedented levels of attendee satisfaction.

After getting used to doing a lot of things online during the pandemic, the excitement for live events ran high. A lot of benefits present itself: face-to-face networking, small talks leading up to meaningful connections, and getting inspired by visiting the booth in person; something that we might lack from virtual events.

But amidst all the excitement of new opportunities, there’s chaos waiting to happen for organizers in such a short frame of time: making sure that the event runs smoothly, drawing in attendees, and showing what your event is all about. Not to mention, directing and guiding your attendees to get where they need to be and avoid the hassle and confusion from moving around in the venue. With so much information you want to give, how do we deliver it best so your attendees can experience the most of what you have to offer?

Well, remember that even the best explorers can get lost without their trusted maps.  In the same sense, utilize an event floorplan to best prepare attendees in exploring your event. Now equipped with improved features, you can easily navigate any live events with our AI powered maps! Before we dive in any further, we’d like to let you know that our AI Map is FREE to self-serve when using the Jublia Engagement Hub. We believe it will help you improve your event!

‍

An Important Upgrade: How AI Maps Makes a Difference

The attendee's first step into the venue may be the most exciting part - yet the most confusing. Finding booths and sessions they have bookmarked beforehand might not be as easy as it seems. 

This is where AI Maps will save your day: Attendees can now better visualize the event layout before they even step into the venue. So that when they finally enter the venue, they would be able to find their booths or meeting points and easily move from one to another to best maximize their time!

Unlike static maps, AI Maps are designed to be interactive so attendees can find detailed information about your venue with just a click. It is also customizable for organizers so you can easily add or edit the information at any time. With extra time after finding the designated booths, they now have the chance to explore other things your event has to offer. After all, AI Maps are meant to ensure a smoother and more seamless navigation so that the attendees won’t miss out on much in the event. Let’s help them explore and discover so much more than just their bookmarked agenda so they experience it to the fullest!

‍

Introducing The Three Es of the AI Maps Effect

To further imagine the benefits of having AI Maps in your event, we have compiled it into the Three Es of AI Maps.

_Efficient

Both organizers and attendees used to heavily rely on static maps on websites or even handed out paper maps in small pamphlets with little to no information for each session or booth. attendees are often left to face inconvenience, having to go back and forth between the event rundown and the map to find the session they were looking for. Well, say goodbye to the “old way of living”, because with AI Maps, your attendees can find out about everything your event offers with just a few taps on their phone. Not to mention, you can also spend less time and resources building these complicated and very detailed paper maps - likely to be trashed all over the place anyways - by letting our AI do the magic for you!

‍

_Engaging

Attendees are prone to doubt, especially if they feel like there’s not much to get from an event. The AI Maps feature will allow you to list various activities attendees can take part in within a location, allowing them to attend multiple sessions and make the best use of their time during their time there. Increase the value of your event, it’s time to convince attendees that there’s much they can learn and experience from your event!

_‍

_Eco-friendly

How many times have you gone to an event and seen a lot of paper littering around the event? How many times have you gone home with a stack of paper you no longer need and eventually throw away? It’s because an event usually requires a lot of paper: whether for leaflets or paper maps, contributing to the destruction of 4.1 million hectares of forest each year just to supply paper goods. You can do your part to save some resources and start being sustainable by implementing AI Maps to your event! With it, your attendees can access your floor plan and get all the information they need on the agendas in just one click.

‍

_{The Portal to A Bigger World with Event Apps}

With the benefits AI Maps offer for your event, you must be very intrigued in trying it out. Well in our Jublia App 3.0, it is free for you to try out! You can upload your static maps and let our technology design an interactive map for you. Our AI rendering engine will then smartly detect the booths, conference halls, and other points of interest from your venue. These are then linked back smartly to our Engagement Hub database of exhibitors and conference sessions. So now, you can access rich profiles when clicking on the maps.

The best part? It is also very customizable so you can change points of interest to highlight various things in the maps without much effort. Picture this: you can add every detail about each booth to let the attendees learn more before going. You can also help them discover other agendas available in the area to make the best of their time there.

Also, prepare to never miss a thing! As an integrated part of the native app ecosystem, you will always be notified of any actions or features you can explore in the maps. This will allow you to make the best guide possible for attendees! There will even be a reminder of the attendees’ bookmarked agendas and immediate directions to the location of the session to make sure your attendees get to it in time. No more missed opportunities, this is a perfect way to give a seamless event experience for your attendees. The magic of technology indeed!

Third quarter of the year marks the busiest period for the event industry, where so many events are held here and there. Yet it doesn’t discount the excitement for us as we embark on yet another adventurous time.

Now that we are about to enter the last quarter, let’s look back at how meaningful the journey in the third quarter has been.

‍

More and More Product Releases…

Perhaps it is not too much to say that we have the biggest product releases this year. After launching the revamped and improved version of our Jublia App, we served yet another big improvement to your table: Jublia Scan and Public Hub. 

‍

Jublia Scan

Badge scanning sees a post-pandemic resurgence in the networking trend, especially now that the MICE industry aims for sustainability. But Jublia Scan does more than just what a physical namecard does: the AI-powered lead scanner not only provides you with basic information about your new prospects but effectively scores the leads' temperature which, in turn, allows you to make data-driven decisions. 

Jublia Scan can be accessed through Jublia App! 

‍

Public Hub

Recently joining the family is Public Hub for your event platform. This feature is crafted especially for you to market your event more effectively. Without login requirements, the general audience can treat themselves to the first glimpse of your events.

Nametags are a form of identification commonly used by attendees in conferences and exhibitions, showing their personal information such as name, country, and the company they are from.

However, using nametags for the purpose of networking can be cumbersome; it is challenging (and unpleasant!) to look for a relevant contact by glaring at the nametag of each and every person that walks past you, and there is no way to find out the area of expertise they are in by simply looking at their nametag. How would you decide to initiate a handshake then from just looking at their nametags? For attendees who are more reserved, they may even face their nametags inwards, hiding their details to prevent unwanted and irrelevant meetings from others.

‍

‍

However with business matching, it significantly reduces these inconveniences and awkward moments. Business matching facilitates delegates to meet more relevant people before your event, making networking seamless and efficient. As one would already have confirmed meeting schedules with other attendees, this reduces the need to ‘source’ for relevant delegates by looking around aimlessly at their nametags.

Through Jublia’s Match platform, attendees can also view beforehand critical information of other parties such as their name, company, company description and title, allowing them to make a more informed decision before initiating a handshake request. This saves much time and inconvenience at time-limited networking sessions, allowing more relevant meetings to be happen between them. As more event organisers recognise the benefits of business matching, we have seen an increasing trend of these solutions being implemented at large international events such as International Furniture Fair Singapore 2014 and Global Infrastructure Basel. Although nametags will still be a mainstay in business events for some years to come, quality business matching can be implemented to greatly enhance the networking experience of your attendees.

‍

‍

Employees attend an average of 62 meetings a month – and half of them are considered unproductive or a waste of time. This is one of the many examples that proves that even though we live in a world where we claim “time is money”, we surely do not appreciate it enough. What if there was a specific method to measure how a meeting, discussion, or event is worth the time?

Well, there is! In this article, we will deep dive into Return on Time Invested (ROTI) which can help organizers measure if their attendees feel like the time they spent commuting, preparing, and attending the event is worthwhile in such a short span of time. Without further ado, let’s dive in👇

‍

Understanding ROTI: A Powerful Metric for Event Success

ROTI itself is one of the many ways to evaluate an event’s success, focusing on whether the time someone spent for the event was worthwhile. It was first developed and popular during the pandemic days when we switched to virtual events. This is because virtual events presented a unique challenge in assessing their effectiveness and the value they provided to participants. Hence it sparked the idea and need for a more comprehensive and qualitative evaluation of event success.

This is why, even though it pursues the same idea as Return on Investment (ROI) and its complementary nature in evaluating event success, ROI primarily focuses on financial gains, while ROTI goes beyond these tangible metrics.

Now, ROTI has evolved and has been adopted for all types of events as it helps organizers better understand the impact an event has on attendees' time and make data-driven decisions to enhance future experiences. 

‍

Cracking the ROTI Code: 12 Essential Queries to Ask

In evaluating ROTI, it's essential to recognize that there isn't a fixed or rigidly set metric for this measurement. Instead, the concept revolves around gauging the qualitative aspects of event success and attendee satisfaction based on the aspects which you, as the organizer, want to know about the most. Simply put, there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to measuring ROTI.

However, according to Ashutosh Bhatawadekar’s post, we can gather these twelve essential questions that you can ask which helps provide a flexible and comprehensive method to assess event impact. These questions act as a guiding framework to help unlock the attendees' experiences and identify areas for improvement:

‍

The Impact of Time: Real-Life ROTI Examples

Now that we’ve explored the essential questions for assessing ROTI, let's delve into practical examples of ROTI feedback, and understand how this valuable metric manifests in actual event experiences. From time-worthy events, concise and effective meetings, to time-optimized gatherings, these examples demonstrate the significance of efficient time utilization in maximizing attendee satisfaction and event success:

Why Should Organizers Start Utilizing ROTI?

So now, another question arises - why should event organizers utilize this method? Here are the essential reasons:

‍

Understanding Attendee Experiences:

ROTI feedback serves as a window into the minds of event attendees, allowing organizers to grasp their perspectives and gauge the effectiveness of event offerings. By understanding this, organizers can tailor future events to meet participants’ expectations, ultimately leading to a greater attendee satisfaction and loyalty. Check out more on understanding the attendee experience in our other article here.

‍

Real-Time Event Evaluation:

Not only for future events, one of the key advantages of ROTI feedback lies in its ability to provide real-time event evaluation. By collecting feedback during or immediately after an event, organizers can identify areas of improvement on the spot, allowing for quick corrective actions and enhancing attendee experiences in real-time.

You can do this by simply shooting out a question on a pop-up survey on your tools (like a push notification on your event app) that shows a simple question like “How are you enjoying the event so far?”.

‍

Data-Driven Decision Making:

ROTI feedback equips organizers with tangible data to inform decision-making processes. Instead of relying solely on subjective observations, organizers can base their choices on concrete feedback and insights, optimizing event logistics, content, and format for better outcomes.

‍

Enhancing Event Effectiveness:

ROTI feedback allows organizers to measure the impact of event content and activities on attendees. By identifying the most impactful elements, organizers will be able to refine their event strategies, focusing on what truly resonates with the audience and enhancing the overall effectiveness of their events.

‍

Measuring Event ROI Holistically:

While traditional ROI metrics focus on financial gains, ROTI feedback delves into qualitative aspects of event success. By combining ROTI with financial metrics, organizers can assess the true value of their events, providing a more comprehensive view of event ROI.

‍

Unlock Event Success with ROTI and Jublia

To maximize ROTI feedback, event organizers need efficient tools like real-time feedback apps, event surveys, event apps, audience response systems, social media listening tools, and data analytics. Embracing the right tools ensures a seamless feedback collection process, leading to impactful events and memorable experiences for all participants.

It is undeniable that 2020 had been a turbulent year for many, and the aviation industry had definitely drawn one of the shortest ends amongst others; travel restrictions had wrought airlines of its ever-important travelers, and with no demand to fly, over 46 million aviation-related jobs across the globe were put at stake.

However, the industry has seen glimmers of hope and recovery, with Airport Show Hybrid+ 2021 being the shining beacon amidst the fog of uncertainty. Convening leading experts and innovators from airports, airlines and air cargo firms alongside tech providers and state officials, this year’s iteration marks the event’s first foray into the hybrid format, and it hopes to prime its attendees for the takeoff of the world’s aviation industry away from the COVID-19 slump.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, highlighted the event’s significance in the current business climate.

“ [The] Airport Show is going to take place at a time when the worst year in aviation industry history is getting behind us and we are emerging from the coronavirus pandemic’s impact.” [1]

Piloting this event is Reed Exhibitions, whose expertise and foresight helped readapt and hybridise the initial Airport Show 2020 into the success that it is today. Daniyal Qureshi, Group Exhibition Director at Reed Exhibitions Middle East, had mentioned the region’s esteemed interest in pushing forward with an event that would help kickstart the aviation’s return to the skies.

“It was challenging to organise the show at such a critical juncture when the aviation industry has just started to show signs of recovery. But several national and international companies as well as regional buyers showed confidence and came in significantly big numbers considering the travel restrictions around the globe.” [2]

Soaring Past Physical Boundaries with Hybrid Solutions

‍

Looking back at 2018’s Airport Show, over 7,000 regional and international attendees were physically present at Dubai World Trade Center’s spacious halls [3]. But considering the current uncertain landscape, a portion of the event must be hosted virtually to enable international attendees to update themselves on the latest developments and innovations, many of which would preempt the kickstart of their aviation facilities in the new normal.

Without the needed expertise to adapt, the journey towards hybridisation can seem daunting, and one might doubt if it is even a potential solution for future events. In Airport Show’s case, their worries diminished over time as they collaborated with Jublia on forging their very first digital and hybrid events.

The Solution: Jublia’s Hybrid AI Engagement Hub

Following the Airport Show Digital+ held in November last year, Airport Show Hybrid+ signified the final stages of the event’s transition from a physical to digital, then hybrid format. The organisers strategically implemented the process to ease attendees into hybrid territories through active ongoing engagement, all while reshaping the event behind the scenes to adapt to pandemic scenarios.

And while the digital event can be seen as a simple refresher that filled the lull period before the hybrid iteration, it played a particularly crucial role that allowed us to fully dissect and understand the event’s complex needs. Interactions between digital attendees, alongside the organiser’s sentiments, highlighted the importance of cross-platform engagement and enabled us to pinpoint specific hybrid requirements. One such requirement eventually came through as on-site virtual lounges, where suppliers had a gateway to interact with virtual buyers through our platform.

Airport Show Hybrid+ amassed over 6,000 attendees from over 55 countries, where both physical and virtual attendees were able to curate their event experience to create the most meaningful connections, and access the most relevant resources.

However, the virtual experience can be radically different from a physical one. In an online space, the attendee’s five senses won’t be as actively engaged as compared to an in-person event. So, how does the Jublia platform actively engage event attendees?

On top of live engagement integrations like video calls, text chat and instantaneous Q&A features, Jublia’s virtual platform also had a unique dimension of its own: flexibility. Driven by Content 360°, our integrated engagement hub provided round-the-clock access to on-demand content that enabled attendees to strategically plan and curate their agenda across 10 different content tracks at Airport Show Hybrid+.

Here’s what some happy attendees had to say!

The system was very intuitive, fuss-free and easy to use.

– Skyguide Swiss Air Navigation Services Ltd

Meetings were easy to schedule through the platform and all relevant information was displayed in a pre-set agenda which was easy to read.

– Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP)

The ease of how these meetings were arranged was impressive.

– Technital SpA

Skyrocket Your Business Matches with Match 360°

A core function of business events banks on the exchanges between delegates, and Airport Show Hybrid+ is no different. With over 7,000 platform visits occurring over the event, Jublia’s engagement hub had an immense amount of traffic that had to be directed towards ROI for the attendees.

With Match 360°, however, the crowded “airspace” was soon under control as attendees were able to input tags that defined their purpose of visiting the event. Powered by Jublia’s proprietary recommendation engine, RevRank, attendees were able to specify tags which outlined their respective key interests.

‍

From general tags like exhibitors or buyers to specialised interests such as airport check-in gates or even wildlife control systems, the event covered a comprehensive list of industry-related terms to streamline the search process, supporting each attendee’s quest to reach the most relevant content and connect with the right industry partners. All that’s left is for you to select from the list of tags and areas of interest, and Match 360° will work its magic!

Speak to Us!

We at Jublia are thankful for being selected to be the hybrid and business matching platform for Airport Show Hybrid+. Through this opportunity, we have connected numerous aviation experts of the world and hope that our services played a significant part in the next take-off of the world’s aviation industry.

We are proud to announce another deep analytics feature, Trends*, as part of Jublia Sense, our business matching management and analytics platform.
We have been tracking search data within the Match app for a long while and Trends seeks to uncover the true intent of what people are looking for in your event.

*Trends is already “live” within Sense. If you already have an past event with Jublia, it is highly recommended that you take a look at this new insight. Email us if you have any questions!

How is this even useful? I am already be tracking audience “interests” via registration forms

Event registration forms are great to track demographics information of your audience, like their name, email address and company. However, data based on “intent”, like “interests” entered onto a registration form may not be truly representative of the intent of the audience.

Why so? This is because the audience have no clear value in exchange, in letting you know of their interests at the registration stage. Furthermore, the frame of mind during registration is more aligned to providing sufficient data so that one can get registered for the event, rather than looking out for products/people that fits their interests.
In addition, measuring the “intent” of a person is progressive, and not single stage (i.e. indicating one time on registration form).

This is where business matching comes in. During the process of business matching, the person searching and viewing profiles is in the frame of mind where he/she is..
1) Discovering people/products that are aligned to his interests
2) Zooming in and looking for the people/products in the event most relevant to his interests
Through this continuous process of search, Jublia uncovers macro trends of what are people exactly looking for, in your event.

And in short, this is what Trends aspire to help organisers discover real intents in their events.

For example, in a travel related event in China, we found that the audiences were doing searches within the categories and on a macro level, these are what they looked for:

In yet another event, when we peered into the key word “Distributor”, we see what are the types of people searching the term itself.
Most interestingly, we look deeper into “Distributor” and collated a list of key terms that are associated with “Distributor” when the audience searches for the term.

This new analytics innovation in Sense contributes to Jublia’s mission in generating key data through effective business matching and weave them into key insights that organisers can use to constantly align their events to real customers’ sentiments and needs.

While business matching is a tool for your customers, it also presents a unique opportunity for organisers to truly understand their audience.

‍

If you are asked what you think is the most prominent factor that contributes to your event's success, your answer would likely be good engagement throughout the event.

However, a good engagement isn’t overnight magic: it’s a puzzle put together piece by piece along the way, starting from the moment your attendees fill in their registration form.

Registration and the Power It Holds

Let’s go back to the question at the beginning of this article. Registration would not likely be mentioned as the power behind an event’s success. While it might not be as crucial, its role shouldn’t be underestimated.

Registration has always been more than just onboarding your attendees and getting their names into the attendance list — it’s the start of their unique experience with your event. J.K. Rowling once said, “A good first impression can work wonders,” which rings true for the relationship between attendees and event organizers.

While website visitation prior to registration might be the first “connection” you make with your attendees, the latter is similar to your “first meeting” with each other. Thus, it is crucial to leave a good impression by providing them with an effective registration process.

An effective registration will not only provide convenience to your attendees but can also benefit you.

‍

Registration Form As the First Pitch to Data Collection Journey

For many, registration is merely a traditional way to reserve a seat at your party (re: events) – its humble appearance as a form with many blank fields might be the cause. Thus, it is often left out on the backburner when you plan an event. Now let’s think again and think further: What can a registration form do for your event?

At Jublia, we always believe that engagement starts before your event, and registration is the first touchpoint that sets the tone for it. Data you collect from attendees during registration is more than texts that get them through — it’s the start of a data collection journey that continues throughout the event lifecycle.

Imagine data collection as a continuous marathon where registration is the starting line. Creating several checkpoints along the way encourages your attendees to contribute valuable information instead of carelessly filling in the blank.

Data collection journey also indicates knowing to gather the right data at the right time where attendees can see the benefits of giving away their sensitive information. For example, personal mobile numbers are better not asked during registration, as they will question the purpose. 

It’s a different story when it is asked at a later stage, where attendees can see the benefits, such as enabling them to receive real-time reminders for certain sessions by subscribing for notifications.

The questions you ask on the registration form should be more than just a formality — it serves as an ancillary on how you will nurture the data forward. 

Pristine Quality Data: How It Affects Event Engagement

Collecting data in stages will help you to filter them better, resulting in high-quality data. Having your data in a cleaner and clearer state allows you to conduct a proper examination, which will later be helpful for your event engagement.

There are several aspects you need to consider in order to attain good data quality:

• Right contacts for the right purposes. Create different ticket types and identify the correct representative during registration (e.g., asking for “business matching contact” on the registration form for events with a business matching feature).
• Avoid data deduplication. Performing deduplication check to prevent multiple account creation by one attendee.
• Set the tone for searchability. Collect the right data attributed to each attendee in later stages that other attendees can actively use for a more precise search result. 

Orchestrating Your Registration Starts Today

Jublia doesn’t do registration, but almost a decade of exposure to registration with many firsthand experiences helped us determine the measurement of good and bad registrations. It also makes us realize how registration is a primary need for data collection.

Through research and experience, we penned down several action points that could be helpful for you to engineer the most effective registration process.
