SmartXpo - Solutions to improve event performance and profitability.

Price Setting

Setting prices for the events industry can be challenging, particularly for an annual event where the rate card must be in place more than a year in advance. Set the price too low, and there will be significant value leakage. Too high, and it risks alienating exhibitors and weakening the event.

SmartXpo has pioneered a software tool to ensure best practice in rate card design, price setting and execution that can be scaled across all exhibitions and conferences, large and small. The cloud-based application processes internal data, market indicators and customer feedback to generate optimal pricing structures and to model financial outcomes for the next edition of the event.

Our unique analytics engine balances financial performance with customer value and sustainability, ensuring that exhibitor, sponsor and delegate needs are at the heart of any event pricing strategy.
