Why Do Customers Choose vFairs Over Swapcard?

Fast Check-In and Badges Printed On the Spot.

vFairs moves attendees through the door in seconds with QR check-in, self-service kiosks, and group check-in. Print branded badges on demand right at the venue, and take walk-ins and last-minute changes in stride.

Check-in, badge printing, and registration run on the same attendee record, so the person who signs up online is the same person who scans in at the venue.

Onsite Leads That Capture Themselves.

vFairs RFID and BLE Smart Event Badges record every meaningful booth visit on their own and rank leads by dwell time, tying each one back to a named attendee from your registration data. Nobody on your team has to remember to scan.

You walk away with floor heatmaps, session dwell time, and full exhibitor lead reports, all landing in the same dashboard as your check-in and registration data.

An Event Designed Around Your Brand.

vFairs builds your event website, registration, and mobile app around your brand, your colors, your logos, and your layout, so every attendee touchpoint looks designed rather than dropped into a stock theme.

Start from a large library of design templates and shape them to your event, with the vFairs design team building the details with you, so a fully on-brand result does not depend on having your own developers.

Exhibitors and Sponsors Managed in One Place.

Give exhibitors a clear portal to build their booths and work through pre-event tasks, and give sponsors the dedicated pages, 1:1 meetings, and visibility they paid for. When the show ends, hand them reporting that proves the return.

Take the Same Event Online.

Run the same event online too, with branded virtual environments, webinars, and hybrid sessions that sit on the same attendee record as your in-person program. Remote and onsite audiences share one dataset instead of two tools that never quite line up.

"Today we had our very first IBM Services virtual summit with vFairs and the experience was very good overall. The platform is very good in terms of capabilities that you can get from live chat, audio/visual chat, and all the analytics behind that will help us retarget clients after the virtual event."

Foire aux questions

Does vFairs support in-person, hybrid, and virtual events in one platform?

Yes. A single vFairs platform covers in-person, virtual, and hybrid events, so onsite check-in, exhibitor booths, and virtual sessions all draw on one shared attendee record. The full event lifecycle lives in one place rather than across stitched-together tools.

Is exhibitor and sponsor management included with vFairs?

Yes. vFairs comes with an exhibitor portal for booth setup and pre-event tasks, along with sponsor pages, 1:1 meetings, and post-event reporting. It all reports back to the same dashboard as your registration and onsite data.

How does vFairs capture leads on the show floor?

vFairs Smart Event Badges (RFID and BLE) log booth visits automatically and rank leads by dwell time, while the Lead Capture app handles badge scanning, business-card scanning, and manual entry. Each lead links to a named attendee and lands in your event dashboard.

What does vFairs offer for onsite check-in and badge printing?

vFairs provides QR check-in, self-service kiosks, and group check-in, plus on-demand printing of branded badges. Walk-ins and last-minute edits are handled at the door without holding up the line.

How far can I customize and brand a vFairs event?

Your event website, registration forms, emails, and mobile app can all carry your brand, from colors and logos through to layout. You begin with a library of design templates, and the vFairs design team tailors the details so the finished event reads as custom rather than templated.

What is the typical timeline to launch a vFairs event?

Straightforward events usually go live within one to two weeks, while complex multi-track or exhibitor events take roughly four to six weeks. Your dedicated project manager confirms the exact timeline on the kickoff call.

What support does vFairs include during my event?

Every event comes with a dedicated project manager and an in-house support team that holds a 9.8 out of 10 quality-of-support score on G2. Your project manager stays with the event from kickoff through post-event reporting.

How is vFairs rated by industry analysts?

vFairs is a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Event Marketing and Management Platforms, its second consecutive year, and it carries strong ratings across G2, Capterra, and Gartner Peer Insights.
