Great product option for small associations! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Carmen C. | Executive Director of Specialty Societies, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2021 **What do you like best about ARitize Events?** I really like their customer service best. I've always been able to email the company rep and get a response quickly that will help solve any issues I'm having.I truly feel I am being heard when I have a question, concern, or even a suggestion about their product. I also really like the value of what you are getting. You get a lot of value out of very little investment. I currently use Nextech AR/MapDynamics and have used the product for ten shows in less than two years. I'm glad that a colleague recommended the Nextech AR (MapDynamics). **What do you dislike about ARitize Events?** I'm not too fond of the new payment structure as much as what was available before. In the past, you had the opportunity to purchase one license per each event. I miss the option of doing that. Though the new structure is great for associations that have multiple events throughout the year, some of the smaller associations I manage only have one or two meetings per year, forcing one to purchase more licenses than needed. I also wish there was an option for association management organizations such as mine. Then we could have multiple licenses that could be used for multiple associations. **What problems is ARitize Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** With Nextech, I am solving the issue of having a way to host my speakers, virtual exhibit hall, schedule, and other virtual event items in one location. I also really like the "discussions" feature and that each attendee has the option to update their profile. By selling virtual booths, I can still give traditional exhibitors a virtual alternative that helps the association gain additional revenue. ### 2. NexTech AR ensured our virtual event was a success **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Marlene H. | Executive Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2021 **What do you like best about ARitize Events?** The professionalism and patience Nextech AR staff displayed in working with us and guiding us through event development was exemplary. **What do you dislike about ARitize Events?** There are no negative experiences to share. **Recommendations to others considering ARitize Events:** Nextech AR is an excellent company to work with to ensure a successful online event. **What problems is ARitize Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** As we were unable to hold our annual congress in person, Nextech AR helped us to realize a sucessful event regardless of lockdowns. Staff helped us to ensure the program was designed for online, speakers were prepared and rehearsed, and our participants had the information they needed. **Official Response from Austin Childers:** > WOW! Thank you so much for sharing, Marlene! We are thrilled you had such a great experience with your event with us, and are glad we could help you solve your problem. ### 3. Intuitive platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katherine F. | Work-Based Learning Program Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 28, 2021 **What do you like best about ARitize Events?** The versatility of the platform allowed me to upload videos, articles, and other links. The graphics made my conference look professional and helped the participants navigate the site with ease. **What do you dislike about ARitize Events?** The exhibitor side needs to provide pop up (hover over) instruction boxes - they left a lot of stuff off because they did not know how to include it in their profile. **What problems is ARitize Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** AR stores significant content that our partners can use from one conference to the next so they are more likely to be a repeat sponsor. ### 4. Our convention attendees loved this platform! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** lisa v. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2021 **What do you like best about ARitize Events?** The look and feel of the platform is professional and very user-friendly. **What do you dislike about ARitize Events?** Not having the ability for participants to chat with one another. **What problems is ARitize Events solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nextech AR is our solution from moving an in-person event to online. **Official Response from Austin Childers:** > Hi Lisa - thank you so much for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your events with Map Dynamics and just want to note that new chat options are available with events on the LiveX and IgniteX platforms if they may be options for you to consider in the future.
