Why Do Customers Choose vFairs Over Goldcast?

One Platform for All Your Events.

Most event calendars do not fit inside a single format. A trade show in spring, a webinar series through summer, a hybrid summit in fall. vFairs runs all of them from one platform, with one registration system, one branding setup, and one dataset, so your team is not stitching together a webinar tool, an on-site tool, and a virtual venue.

I reached out to vFairs after using their platform at a conference. We had an upcoming event 6 weeks away, so my intent was to gather information for future events, but they walked me through the feasibility of implementing the platform for our event in the immediate future. With their support we were able to turn our in-person-only event into a hybrid event and expand our attendee base. Our project manager, Syed Usama Amir, was with us every step of the way and at all hours for support.

On-Site Operations That Scale With Your Event.

When thousands of attendees show up at a venue, the platform has to show up too. vFairs handles registration through to the show floor: badge printing, QR, RFID, and facial recognition check-in, self-service kiosks, exhibitor lead capture, and a mobile event app that keeps attendees moving.

Badge printing was so smooth and it was very fast and it cut down our conference check-in time significantly. Huge thanks again to vFairs team for making our event so successful and our attendees and our exhibitors and our staff so happy.

Foire aux questions

Can I fully whitelabel the event URL and design in Goldcast?

Goldcast offers branding (colors/logos), but the layout is template-based and often retains a "Goldcast look and feel."

vFairs provide complete white-labeling. From a custom domain (e.g., events.yourcompany.com) to a fully bespoke virtual venue that mimics your actual office or brand style, your attendees will never feel like they are "using a tool.

How does the customer support compare on Goldcast vs. vFairs?

Goldcast is "Self-Service," meaning your team is responsible for building the registration pages, configuring the backend, and troubleshooting. This works if you have a small team and the event scope is limited.

On the other hand, vFairs' clients get a dedicated Project Manager. Customers can build the event themselves with easy to use wizards and page builders. However, your assigned project manager can co-create the event with you and can help you manage your exhibitors and speakers too.

Which platform is better for sponsor ROI and monetization?

vFairs provides exponentially more sponsor value: custom booths, branded networking lounges, comprehensive lead retrieval tools, downloadable attendee engagement reports, and high-visibility placement throughout the event. Many vFairs clients generate $50K-$500K+ in sponsor revenue from a single event.

Goldcast's webinar format offers limited sponsor visibility; typically logo placement and maybe a brief mention. If sponsor revenue is critical to your event success, vFairs is the clear choice.
