A2Z Rocks!

Pros

  • Tracking from year to year - history provided on the Exhibit side is huge and helps when you have new people working within the platform.
  • Ability to replicate certain areas from year to year which is a huge timesaver.
  • Templates! Templates are huge timesavers, but you still have the ability to brand them and change them if needed.

Cons

  • Coming from software where I had a huge amount of access to the "backend", it would be nice to be able to manipulate areas of the Exhibit Floorplan a little easier with regard to items like tables, chairs, stages, etc. Maybe add some icons that could be pasted into the floorplan for faster success?
  • The agenda within A2Z does not give you the ability to host on your own conference site.
  • The agenda view is sometimes perceived as being too long, there's a lot of extra "white space".

Return on Investment

  • Positive - it provides one place from which primary players in the conference could pull information. A2Z maintains consistency and lowers the discrepancy issue when everyone tries to keep their own little database.
  • Positive - Time Saver.
  • No negative that I can recall.

A2Z - Crisp and Clean and Easy to Use :)

Pros

  • Very easy for the exhibitors and the attendees to navigate the floor.
  • It looks very crisp and is easy to print.
  • The online exhibitor search field is awesome - so easy for our attendees to map out who they want to visit.
  • The support team is very responsive and the training opportunities are flexible.

Cons

  • We mark our First Timers using the Subexpo feature. The problem is that the Supexpo is applied to the booth and not the vendor so when I move a company, their First Timer status doesn't move with them. And, a new company (but not a First Timer) that goes into that spot gets an incorrect First Timer status.
  • I wish I could get a percentage of the floor that is sold without doing the math.

Return on Investment

  • I assume that it has great ROI since it is so user friendly. It frees up time for more marketing.
