About us

We believe events are the best way to accelerate relationships at scale.

SpotMe’s founders started from scratch. They built an event platform to harness the power of audience engagement. But their vision did not stop there. They engineered SpotMe to deliver seamless event experience workflows. "Crafted, not cobbled" is their design principle.

SpotMe’s mission is to help customers create better relationships by delighting event attendees at scale.

what we do

We build event experience workflows that lift and capture engagement.

Our event platform powers event experience workflows. These workflows create more event engagement and more data for CRM systems.

Our customers want to accelerate customer relationships with events. We deliver event management with personalized content production. We empower evergreen engagement. We unlock peer-to-peer participant interactions. We enrich CRM records with engagement data. We avoid creating new systems of record with event data.

Lines are blurred in the new world of events. In-person/virtual and synchronous/on-demand collision creates friction. We created enterprise-grade technology to solve this complexity.

Our enterprise deployment and delivery services are highly rated. We guarantee a white-glove experience for customers and audiences.
