What is Balloon?

Balloon is a virtual events and conferences platform that enables event organizers to create engaging experiences and attendees to learn and network.

Balloon features:

  • Advanced, and fun networking, one-on-one, or in small groups (cocktail tables). For one-one-one, attendees can meet with other attendees randomly, or based on ticket matching rules (e.g. job seekers meeting with recruiters during a virtual jobs fair)
  • Multiple stages, and live video streaming via Balloon Studio (backstage) and RTMP
  • Tiered expo booths, allowing organizers to better monetize their exhibition function: Expo booths can have live video streaming or pre-recorded videos, downloadable files, promos, and ways to capture qualified leads and generate new business.
  • Breakout sessions: general type sessions, round-tables, or small group meetings.
  • Live chat, with dedicated chat rooms for each event function (e.g. general, specific stage/booth, etc.)
  • Tiered sponsors, with flexibility on defining tiers (e.g. names, etc.), thus providing organizers with yet one more way to monetize their events
  • Scalable platform
  • Fun and fresh UI/UX
  • Speed optimizations
  • Responsive design, enabling attendees to attend an event on their mobile devices
  • Advanced branding and look-n-feel customization
  • Branded email communication, applying event logos, title, and colors
  • Powerful admin interfaced (Balloon Manager), from where organizers can fully control and customize to a great extent their organization and events.
  • Ability to sell free or paid tickets, with a certain validity period, inventory amount, etc.
  • Ability to integrate with favorite tools, e.g. Slack, Intercom, Drift, or even custom web-hooks, so that organizers get notified for new event registrations
  • Advanced and real-time event analytics, also proving insights to exhibitors and sponsors.
  • Uploading attendees via a .csv file (available for certain plans), if tickets sold externally
