all of your audience’s needs without ever losing sight of what is truly important—the people.
While registration provides the data foundation for all of our products, it is only the starting point of CDS’ comprehensive event management solutions.
Be a know-it-all.
Data is pouring into your event from every direction and we’re capturing it all. You get real-time access to complete reporting and management capabilities, while our financial and data analysts prepare a detailed but concise review of your event.
Comprehend actionable data.
The power of data lies in its ability to help you understand your current situation and map a course towards achieving your goals. CDS has taken the information we collect on your behalf and created an environment to put your data to work.
Identify opportunities and trends.
When you’re looking for answers, ask the right person. Polling your audience to learn their likes and dislikes often provides the best suggestions for keeping your event fresh and always provides the best hands on perspective.
Reporting your way
Convention Data Services’ reporting system X•Press Reports has two types of reports—standard and user-defined created with our Report Builder tool. While our standard reports cover all aspects of Registration, Marketing, Payment, Exhibits, Onsite and Administration, Report Builder gives you unlimited options for using your event data.
Between the two tools, there is nothing you can’t find out about your event. All the reports can be fully customized, saved then shared with your team. Graphic reports, favorites and scheduled report delivery are all included. In 2016, the analytics dashboard with event comparisons was added to X•Press Reports.
Features
Ask your attendees and exhibitors what they’re really thinking.
Surveys will help you gain real insight into the wants and needs of your event audience. Before, during and after the event, surveys provide real‐time access to critical information.
Multiple surveys can target specific audience segments and provide focused information on any topic. The page layout is intuitive, keeping response times to a minimum. Surveys can be customized for a variety of situations and used in conjunction with our other applications.
Features & Benefits
Get deeper insight into your exhibit hall traffic with Exhibitor Traffic Reports.
CDS compiles data from both our lead retrieval units and from exhibitors using our lead conversion service with their own device into a comprehensive exhibit hall report.
The single report combines information about individual exhibitors, aisles and overall lead collection into a useful tool for visualizing how sales and networking are happening on your show floor. The aisle traffic report breaks down each aisle by exhibitor and shows the number of leads collected in each booth. Understanding aisle traffic flow is valuable for tiered booth pricing as well as designing an optimal exhibit hall layout.
