Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Accelevents to host marketing and education events to raise awareness for our line of wellness products. Our events have anywhere from 250 to 1,500 attendees and usually have 15-25 speakers and 10-20 sponsors. We've been using Accelevents for a little over 2 years now and love it. We switched from one of the older legacy companies (who I won't name but you can probably guess) because it was just to hard to use and the support wasn't there. There were a few hickups getting started with Accelevents but I think that was mostly a result of it being new for us. Everything has been perfect for the past 18 months.
