Amplifying The Gathering’s Branding with Increased Event Engagement
The Gathering is a Forbes top-rated business and marketing conference with a strong, defiant brand.
More than an event, it is a collective experience bringing together industry leaders in a close-knit environment to exchange timely knowledge and make high-level connections. Swapcard helped The Gathering effectively grow their elite brand thanks to its intuitive and easily-customizable platform.
With 1,000 in-person and 5,000+ virtual leaders attending The Gathering to learn from some of the world’s bravest brands, organizers needed an event technology partner that would understand their unique needs. The Gathering chose to partner with Swapcard, knowing that our team had the technology and experience that they needed to successfully adopt a hybrid model.
The Gathering went deeper than a simple partnership; the relationship built between Swapcard and the Gathering was based on a common understanding that together they would be able to deliver an exceptional experience for everyone involved.
“To this day, I tell everyone about Swapcard because I am beyond grateful for that experience, how the team and the platform gave us so much confidence, was so reliable and I was just absolutely blown away and grateful for that.”
Stephanie Thompson, President, The Gathering Summit
