ADGEvents Trade Show Management Software is a web-based event operations service for commercial and nonprofit organizers. Its trade show tools coordinate registration, sessions, tasks, and sponsor deliverables. Event pages, registration, QR tickets, and check-in support attendee handling, while sponsor records can include descriptions, due dates, notes, and fulfillment status. Free plans are available with different event, attendee, and team-seat limits for commercial and verified nonprofit organizations. Paid plans raise those limits, and Business plans include read-only API access and supported webhooks, with setup required. Stripe handles subscription billing and organization payments; paid ticket payments require an approved live Stripe Connect account. Paid ticket plans also have site fees in addition to Stripe processing or processor fees. The software does not provide dedicated exhibitor applications, interactive booth inventory and assignment, badge-based lead capture, or exhibitor portals. Its Trust Center describes HTTPS in transit, managed encryption at rest, and organization data isolation. ADGEvents says it has not completed a SOC 2 audit and does not offer HIPAA support or a Business Associate Agreement.
