eShow is an event management platform for associations, trade shows, and corporate events. The company says its registration, exhibition, conference, mobile app, and onsite modules use one codebase and database. Registration supports multiple attendee types, pricing tiers, discount codes, group registrations, and payment methods; its self-service eReg tool is designed for events under 500 attendees. Exhibitors can select booths, buy sponsorships and advertising, make payments, and manage profiles, add-ons, and co-exhibitors through a portal. The floor plan editor accepts DWG or PDF layouts, supports multiple floors and zones, and exports PDF or DWG files. Conference tools cover abstract submissions and review, speaker and session scheduling, and meeting logistics. eConnect captures leads through badge barcodes and offers syncing, analytics, reporting, editable qualifiers, and surveys. The mobile event app includes schedules, exhibitor search, attendee messaging, push notifications, surveys, and offline access. AMS and CRM integrations exchange information with several modules, and leads can be transferred to a CRM. AMS integration has an additional fee. Pricing is provided through a customized quote after a demo request.
