Question on: PheedLoop
When offering both an in-person and virtual experience, how do you forecast in-person attendance with reasonable accuracy?
35% or our in-person ticket holders opted not to attend in person and chose to watch the sessions online instead. That resulted in overbuying of food, drinks and table linens.
In person is idéal, but when there is some problem to attend, virtual becomes very helpful.

Question on: Whova
How do I download the information
After 3 months, I understand the site will be closed for the Just Food Conference. However, I would like to keep the conversations and for longer. I understand from others that it was not as useful for the disabled members.
Hi Sylvia,
Thank you for posting this discussion! Even once the event is closed after 3 months, any 1:1 messages and contacts exchanged will still be available for attendees to access on the mobile app. Event organizers also have the option to extend access to the entire event for up to 12 months, so attendees can continue to view the content and connect with one another. There is an additional charge for extending the event past 3 months in order to cover our cost to facilitate the data. We are also continuously working on improving the accessibility services for users with disabilities.
