REGISTRATION DESIGN
MOC&CO was one of the first meetings management companies to create and implement its own proprietary registration tool: Express EventTM. Using that experience, we can offer our clients customizable registration solutions that are right for them and their events. Realizing the market’s need for an ever-evolving registration technology, we capitalized on the opportunities associated with embracing a mainstream registration system, which gave us the ability to innovate the way we design registration sites for our clients.
Our Tool Delivers:
-
State-of-the-art technology solutions
-
Fully customizeable web pages
-
Comprehensive reporting
-
Streamlined processes
-
Enhanced customer service and troubleshooting
-
The ability to collect attendee data and process conference payments
-
The option to integrate with your internal sales and marketing databases through API functionality
Flexibility in registration and planning is one of our core commitments to our clients. We understand the investment that goes into implementing your own registration technology and are respectful of clients who currently have internal systems in place.
At MOC&CO, we support several clients who use a registration tool different from our own. As partners, we see the importance of leveraging current client processes and systems.
We Have:
-
Operated programs through client registration systems different from our in-house tool
-
Been granted access to our clients’ company accounts to process event registrations
We are committed to creating win-win solutions for our clients and their bottom line.
