Trust among experienced event managers tends to track one unglamorous thing: how the vendor behaves at 8am on show day when something breaks. Features are easy to compare and mostly converge; what separates the platforms veterans stick with is real-time support and reliability under load, which you can&#39;t see in a demo. So rather than a trust ranking, I&#39;d ask other event managers a sharper question: when it broke live, did anyone pick up the phone? That&#39;s the reputation that actually matters in this category.
