Cloud Conventions Unveils Connected Event Networks for Virtual Conferences & Trade Shows

Convey Services

Cloud Conventions today unveiled new event management technology that connects multiple virtual conferences or trade shows from a centralized hub allowing events with unique identities to share a common set of exhibitors, sessions or content. This Industry-first solution allows trade associations, companies and large event operators to produce several related events from a single administrative portal that maintains and updates content or session catalogs and exhibitor booths and selectively updates portals in the network. Cloud Conventions is a full featured virtual event SaaS technology from Convey Services . “Convey’s proprietary Hub & Spoke technology has powered industry networks in telecommunications and insurance for years, connecting multiple suppliers and vendors with an indirect salesforce,” said Carolyn Bradfield , founder of Convey. “Using Hub & Spoke, multiple virtual event portals can receive content and marketing assets from a centralized hub site. The event operator can deliver more value to exhibitors and sponsors and it makes it easier for exhibitors to manage their booths when they participate in more than one event. It is designed for groups planning multiple virtual events or having regional events, pop-up shows, or conferences throughout the year.” An event hub site is set up to allow exhibitors to access, setup and manage their virtual booths, changing out content and sessions easily for each networked show. The reporting engine consolidates activity reports from all the event portals for one consolidated view. “Hub & Spoke event networks create efficiency and reduce the cost of putting on monthly, quarterly or regional events,” added Bradfield. “This will be a huge help to associations that hold conferences that share the same sponsors or exhibitors. A small staff can use Hub & Spoke to manage a dozen events and maximize ROI for exhibitors and sponsors.” Cloud Conventions portals come complete with templates to set up the homepage, deliver email messaging, create attendee dashboards, set up virtual booths, customize CRM systems and databases to track attendees and exhibitors and access a full set of analytics and reporting. About Cloud Conventions Cloud Conventions is a Virtual Trade Show and Conference Platform from Convey Services that brings new capabilities to a marketplace looking for solutions to replace the thousands of live trade shows, annual conferences and association meetings cancelled in the wake of COVID-19. Originally launched as ConveyLive, Cloud Conventions automates exhibitors and virtual booths, attendee registration, speaker sessions and reminders, invitations and email communication, while at the same time producing detailed analytics on attendee, session and exhibitor activity. Trade Associations and event managers can explore all of the Cloud Conventions solutions by visiting cloudconventions.com or contacting info@cloudconventions.com or call 888-975-1382.

MASSMEDIA MARKETING, ADVERTISING AND PR AGENCY OFFERS INSIGHT FOR BUSINESSES TO CAPITALIZE ON DIGITAL MEDIA TRENDS RESULTING FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

MassMedia Marketing, Advertising, PR

MassMedia Marketing, Advertising, PR is analyzing current digital media consumption trends and offering insight to businesses who are trying to maintain and even increase their brand awareness during this pandemic. Zak Krassin , digital marketing director at MassMedia, imparts the following insights into various digital strategies that businesses can be implementing now to help them thrive and possibly obtain market share during an economic downturn: Actively engage with your social media community, implement an employee advocacy program, or seek out potential collaboration opportunities with other thought leaders. Building a community around your business and having your employees engaged on social media as experts can help humanize your brand and extend the reach of your content – ultimately driving more traffic to your site. Brands on social media should strongly consider running paid social ads. Starting small and putting five to 10 dollars towards a Facebook post as a “boosted” effort can go a long way. Paid social ads offer robust targeting options to ensure the paid promotion hits your intended audience which will expand your reach beyond your current network as well as drive qualified traffic to your website. Brands should certainly be taking advantage of posting video content. Video has the ability to connect with customers on a level that static imagery simply cannot. Video can convey your brand message, product details, and thought leadership content in a more expressive way that really brings them to life.

In a year that no one will forget, it’s an incredible feeling to be part of such a historic brand.

Challenger Team Gen.G Esports Pulls Off Surprising Win During the Pulse Valorant Invitational Finals

Pulse Valorant Invitational

Pulse Esports Gaming Arena today announced the shocking results of the inaugural Pulse Valorant Invitational, featuring 16 of the world’s top Valorant esports teams: challenger team Gen.G Esports beat Cloud9 in the finals, winning $6,000, after Cloud9 eliminated the heavyweight TSM the day before. During the three-day online tournament, Cloud9 first eliminated TSM in a huge upset that came down to the wire on Saturday, July 11. The last-minute win catapulted Cloud9 into the finals, but the team ultimately lost to the unexpected winner, Gen.G Esports, in the finals on Sunday, July 12. Gen.G Esports survived the semi-finals after being down five match points and then went on to beat Cloud9, after the team won two consecutive games, once the magic touch of the team’s new roster ran out. Cloud9 still took home $3,000 for coming in second. The exciting twists and turns of nail-biting games that resulted in a dream come true for one challenger team were an ideal way to celebrate the launch of the Pulse Esports Gaming Arena, New York City’s first dedicated esports tournament/league space. The new company hosted the tournament in conjunction with United Way of New York City, in an effort to also raise awareness of the non-profit’s dedication to helping low-income New Yorkers make ends meet and lead self-sufficient lives. “These were super exciting games, to say the least, and we couldn’t be happier that happy the inaugural tournament was such a huge success,” said event partner Northern Arena CEO Carl Edwin Michel. “We are also thrilled that the tournament simultaneously put a spotlight on the great work that the United Way of New York City is doing for New Yorkers in need.” The three-day tournament started at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT on Friday, July 10, and was streamed on the Pulse Esports Arena Gaming twitch channel and Ginxtv UK, reaching an estimated total of 55 million households worldwide. "After the comeback, after the first map on bind, we were just feeling it and super confident," said Gen.G Esports Player EFFYS. “Even if it’s not your best map and you’re not fully prepared on it, if everybody is hitting shots and comms on point, it doesn't really matter at the end of the day.” The Pulse Invitational was powered by Northern Arena, THESPIKE.GG, and presented by MAP Esports Network's, EsportsFuturi™, Empowering customers and companies to support disadvantaged kids and communities. The event is sponsored by AGX pay mobile app, and also by AKracing, All city Artists apparel, & DBD Esports.
