eSocial
eSocial allows delegates to connect securely and privately with other delegates pre-event to request onsite meetings, fostering productive business dealings. eSocial frees organizers from the burden of administering meetings and provides summary and detail reports
that show the level and type of networking taking place. eSocial automates the process of matching up vendors and attendees of similar interests at host-buyer events and other meetings.
