National Conferences
Spain Startup organizes one of the leading startup conferences in the South of Europe. At South Summit, the best talent from the Mediterranean and Latin America meet leading investors and innovative companies from around the world. The Summit brings together top startups and industry leaders for 3 days of innovation, learning, and top-notch networking.
“The Bizzabo platform gave our event the social impact we really wanted to see."
As a conference focused on bringing together startups, investors, and everyone in-between, an effective networking tool was an absolute must. In addition to this demand, the conference aimed to have 5,000+ attendees, so South Summit needed a tool that could not only function effectively with 3,000 users at a time, but also one that would be easy-to-use for attendees across a spectrum of tech-savy users. With such high attendance numbers to hit, the organizers also needed a way to boost ticket sales and spread word of mouth of the event.
"We saw an impressive number of messages sent and very high engagement overall.”

South Summit chose Bizzabo for its robust networking features and proven ability to effectively handle a large number of active users at once. Bizzabo’s integrated Ticket Boost feature, which leverages the power of social media to turn registrants into event ambassadors, ultimately lead to an increase in both event awareness and ticket sales. Meanwhile, attendees utilized Bizzabo’s one-on-one messaging feature to make valuable business connections with investors, industry leaders, and other entrepreneurs.
