The Challenges Select the ideal software for managing in-person and hybrid events
When the pandemic disrupted in-person gatherings, FIBA needed a way to preserve networking and interactions that are central to its events. Even today, FIBA continues to use digital solutions that enhance both onsite and online experiences for attendees, sponsors, and partners.
In 2020, Angeles Garcia, conferences & sponsors manager, witnessed how the pandemic forced FIBA to adapt. They quickly recognized the need for a platform that could simplify registration, improve navigation, and support strong networking, all in one system.
After exploring various options, Angeles found that Eventtia met every requirement. They were impressed by how easy it was to set up the platform and create event websites, giving attendees a seamless way to connect, whether participating online or in person.
"We needed something straightforward and reliable, not just another platform. People come to our events to connect, learn, and build new partnerships, so our technology has to support that seamlessly."
