Powerful Custom Features, But an Outdated and Hard-to-Navigate UI **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2026 **What do you like best about eShow?** There are a few show modules in eShow that most other event registration platforms do not have and they were willing to build/edit features custom to our business needs **What do you dislike about eShow?** The user interface is difficult to use and it is challenging to find what you are looking for intuitively. Feels very outdated in the world of softwear. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** Their function sheet ability and parent child relationships for sessions are key assets for us. As a large trade show they provide a registration platform for us. ### 2. Best Event Platform Out There! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tina A. | Member & Events Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 01, 2025 **What do you like best about eShow?** The options are endless! They are always coming out with things to make it easier for the user. They are always helpful! **What do you dislike about eShow?** I haven't found one yet! They come up with a solution for anything I have asked. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have been through many AMS platforms and finally found the right one for us, they worked hard to make integration possible to end manual work once the event was over. ### 3. Helped tremendously with my event **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Leila M. | babysitting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2019 **What do you like best about eShow?** Eshow helped save me time and money for my last planned event. Event coordinating can not only be very time consuming but extremely chaotic! This software helps plan and store everything so you don’t have to! It truly takes all the hassle and troubles away. Thank you eshow for creating such a fantastic software! **What do you dislike about eShow?** There is nothing negative I can say regarding this software. Every detail was planned out with a regular consumer such as myself in mind and their customer service is outstanding! **Recommendations to others considering eShow:** None this software is amazing! **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** Taking the guess work and research out of my hands and bringing everything to the table! ### 4. Managing Events Made Easy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2019 **What do you like best about eShow?** Events aren't easy. They're hectic, often disorganized, and stressful, but they're also proven to be some of the best connectors we can ask for. eShow is the simple, easy-to-use solution for all those worries, and then some. I think the peace of mind that eShow affords is a hallmark to its success. **What do you dislike about eShow?** eShow is easy to use, but that doesn't mean new users instantly pick up on the intricacies of the software. This initial learning phase isn't a bad thing, though, just because of the headache it saves down the road. **Recommendations to others considering eShow:** Use this if you're serious about taking your events to the next level. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** eShow provides easy-to-follow event management services for my business, a la a virtual assistant that knows what needs to be done and by when. It handles the little things so I can handle the large-scale actionables without worry. ### 5. Easy to use platform for Non-Profits **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bethany T. | Director of Marketing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2018 **What do you like best about eShow?** How simple it is to edit your event details and description. I love changing out the headers and footers to match the event marketing. **What do you dislike about eShow?** The inability to change some of the text colors for the event description and title. **Recommendations to others considering eShow:** Definitely utilize if you are looking for quality service and an easy system to use and make your own. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using eShow to allow participants to register for events, submit program proposals, and review those proposals. We also use it to schedule educational sessions during our large Annual Convention. ### 6. Excellent Event Registration and Management Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David M. | Chief Marketing Officer, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2017 **What do you like best about eShow?** It was very easy to configure the platform to work for the Electronic Retailing Association's events. We did not have to rely on eShow to manage everything for us - which gave us tremendous flexibility. This is a huge plus! Reporting was also very straightforward and easy and we integrated the platform with our marketing automation platform (Hubspot). The team at eShow was ALWAYS responsive and easy to work with. Can't recommend them enough! **What do you dislike about eShow?** There isn't much to dislike. Raju and the team were always helpful and responsive to our needs. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** We moved from a homegrown system to a professionally developed event registration system. We moved from long lines onsite at our annual convention to people getting their badges in UNDER ONE MINUTE. I was amazed especially since our convention was 4,000 people. ### 7. Friendly and Easy to Use **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2018 **What do you like best about eShow?** The best part about the service is the simplicity and the people of eShow making the experience more personal and easier to use. **What do you dislike about eShow?** It would be more helpful if we had more employees coming to the shows to help **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** Registration, Mobile App, Website ### 8. Excellent Lead Retrieval Product and Service from Brandee **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2017 **What do you like best about eShow?** Product made LR extremely easy and Brandee went the extra mile to ensure that my device was charged and kept safe overnight plus email me leads at the end of each day. **What do you dislike about eShow?** I have no complaints about the product or the service. **Recommendations to others considering eShow:** Definitely the best LR solution available that I am aware of at this time. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lead retrieval details is the main thing ### 9. Good tool for attendee registration. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2016 **What do you like best about eShow?** I am not so much impressed with this tool. But we don't need to prepare our own website for our small events for user registration which is actually nice and time saving. **What do you dislike about eShow?** Very less templates for user registration. Also custom graphics integration is not so good. Some time user has to compromise in few graphics format. **Recommendations to others considering eShow:** For small events its not affordable to create separate web site for only getting attendee registration. So for those type of events i recommend this tool because it saves time and money both. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** We tried this tool in one of the our event for getting attendee registration. ### 10. Show management for an annual international conference. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2015 **What do you like best about eShow?** eShow's staff is VERY quick to respond to any inquiries, even if they're out of the office at other events. They always provide the answer to my questions, fix the issue and explain how I can fix the issue myself in the future. It's also quite easy to assign, release, move and cancel exhibitors and booth locations. A definite plus! **What do you dislike about eShow?** The program can be a bit overwhelming for a first-time user because of all of the functions it's capable of. When syncing with payment processing, the site also makes it a bit difficult to determine whether payments have been submitted to your financial institution or whether there was simply a payment logged in the software. This very easily could have also been user error! **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** The data collection (credit cards, directory information, booth assignment, etc.) is so valuable and such a time-saver. Credit card information is secure and redacted even on the back end of the site, taking any security concerns totally off of the organizing company. ### 11. Great Product **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Architecture & Planning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2016 **What do you like best about eShow?** We used this for our major large conference. The communication for setting up the site, management, and help sources were great. I highly recommend this program for anyone registering numbers in the thousands. **What do you dislike about eShow?** I would not say dislike but making sure like any database that correct procedures and boxes are checked is very important to maintain correct information. **Recommendations to others considering eShow:** Everything from beginning to end was great when using this product. The features and reports were easily made accessible and also to set up. **What problems is eShow solving and how is that benefiting you?** Full registration of thousands of people and it worked perfectly for our needs. ## eShow Discussions - [What is eShow used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-eshow-used-for) - [View eShow pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/eshow/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-13+23%3A32%3A53+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e310ef27-5557-475b-9ce3-31695eb643bf&secure%5Btoken%5D=7a4639870054a233098450736605d811b0bda298d5fb355250c86ff498ea218a&format=llm_user) ## eShow Features **Registration** - Event creation - User registration process - Payment processing - Mobile check-in - On-site tickets and registration **At-Event Tools** - Business Card Scanner - Notetaking - Device Rental **Marketing and Communications** - Lead generation and retrieval - Social media promotion - Event website creation - Email customization - Contact list management **Administration** - Event Configuration - Event Marketing - Speaker Access and Control - Advanced Reporting **Event Networking** - Meeting Scheduling - Integration / APIs - Virtual Networking - Communication Tools - Attendee Profiles **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Agentic AI - Mobile Event Apps** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Marketing and Communications** - Event website creation - Email automation - Email customization - Contact list management - Social media promotion - Lead generation and retrieval **Post-Event Tools** - Lead Follow-Up - Lead Analysis - Interaction History **Attendee Engagement** - Social media integrations - Attendee networking - Attendee surveys-attendee engagement **Virtual Experience** - Virtual Lobby - Built-In Webcasting - Webcasting Integrations - Cross-Device Functionality - Session / Agenda Management - Live Streaming & Recording - Registration & Attendee Management - Event Setup & Scheduling - Branding & Customization - Interactive Speaker / Moderator Controls **Event Intelligence** - Meeting Reports - Prospect Intelligence - Lead Capture - AI-Powered Matchmaking **Agentic AI - Event Registration & Ticketing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Event Operations** - Site selection - Supplier procurement - Hotel and transportation planning - Staff management - Budget management - Session scheduling - Speaker submissions - Exhibition management **Software Offerings** - Web Portal - Mobile Application - Integrations & APIs **Registration** - Event creation - User registration process - Mobile check-in **Engagement** - Online Event Agenda - Interactive Content - 1:1 Networking - Exhibitors/Sponsorships - Gamification & Incentives - Real‑Time Interaction Tools - Networking / Matchmaking **Attendee Engagement** - Event agendas and schedules - Floor plans / maps - Social media integrations - Attendee networking - Attendee surveys **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Agentic AI - Event Networking and Matchmaking** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Agentic AI - Lead Retrieval** - Autonomous Task Execution - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance **Platform** - Performance and reliability - Reporting and dashboards - API / integrations - Multiple event management **Agentic AI - Virtual Event Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation **Administration / Support - Virtual Event Platforms** - Role‑Based Access & Permissions - Security & Compliance **Agentic AI - Event Management Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration **Agentic AI - Event Marketing** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Insights & Scale - Virtual Event Platforms** - User Capacity & Reliability - Analytics & Reporting ## Top eShow Alternatives - [Cvent Event Marketing & Management](https://www.g2.com/products/cvent-event-marketing-management/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (2,075 reviews) - [Whova](https://www.g2.com/products/whova/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (1,521 reviews) - [Bizzabo](https://www.g2.com/products/bizzabo/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (428 reviews)
