For event organizers

Turn your event into a year-round B2B network

Connect the professionals, companies, games and business opportunities around your event — before, during and after the show.

Event Page or Partner Event Hub

Two different things. One is a public record. The other is the B2B layer around your event.

Basic layer

Event Page

  • Name, dates and location
  • Description
  • Website and contact

Stands on its own. No partnership required.

Partner Event Hub

Overview B2B Program Attendees Games Interviews Media
  • Fully branded for the event
  • Built for B2B, with you
  • Integrated across BoardGameLink

Only part of an official Event Partnership.

Know who’s attending — and why

Members can say they are coming, as an exhibitor or a professional visitor, and what they are looking for. Publishers and others can also show which games they are bringing for business.

Attendance

Connected throughout BoardGameLink

An Event Hub is not a single page. Attendance and business information travel with the rest of the platform.

  • Professional profiles
  • Event Hub
  • Company profiles
  • Game pages
  • Business opportunities

Attendance can show on a profile. A game brought for an opportunity can show on the game page. People discover a professional or a game — and see they will be at your event.

Everything B2B around your event

A Partner Event Hub can hold the professional program around the show. Each module can be switched on or off.

  • B2B program
  • Networking
  • Talks
  • Workshops
  • Relevant links
  • Registration

Meetings

Professionals set availability, find relevant people, schedule meetings and manage their agenda around the event.

Already using your own meeting tool? This module can be switched off.

Interviews

Interviews and editorial features can live on the Event Hub, highlight people around the event, and publish on the BoardGameLink blog.

Extra exposure for the event and the professionals involved.

Built around your event

Every Partner Event Hub is customized. We set it up with you. If the event needs something more, we look at extra modules together.

  • Colours
  • Cover
  • Logo
  • Video
  • Content
  • Modules
  • Buttons
  • Links
  • Program sections
  • Calls to action

Set up together

BoardGameLink builds the Hub with the organizer: branding, modules and the first content.

Then you keep it current

After that, the organizer can update program items, links, buttons and content.

This is not a generic event template. The Hub is built around the event itself.

Before. During. After.

  1. Before

    Professionals discover each other, share their intentions, show relevant games and prepare meetings.

  2. During

    They find relevant professionals, meetings, opportunities and B2B activities.

  3. After

    Connections, profiles and business opportunities remain available after the show.

The event ends. The network doesn’t.

A partnership in both directions

A Partner Event Hub belongs to a genuine Event Partnership. Both sides contribute, and both sides are visible.

BoardGameLink provides

  • Event Hub setup
  • Customization and branding
  • B2B technology
  • Integration throughout BoardGameLink
  • Exposure within the BoardGameLink network
  • Meeting functionality where relevant
  • Editorial and interview opportunities
  • Ongoing support and development

Event Partner provides

  • BoardGameLink recognized as an official event partner
  • Visibility towards exhibitors and professional visitors
  • Active promotion of the Event Hub
  • Encouraging exhibitors and professionals to create and complete their profiles
  • Encouraging attendance and business intentions
  • Website, email, social and on-site exposure, where it fits

The exact partnership is shaped together around your event, audience and existing marketing strategy.

Your event is seen across BoardGameLink. BoardGameLink is seen across your professional community.
