What do you like best about vFairs?
As an organization committed to fostering professional development and networking, the Toigo Foundation recently hosted our annual Career Expo using this virtual event platform, and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive.
From the outset, the platform enabled us to create a dynamic, engaging environment for our attendees. We hosted a variety of sessions, including panels, a career expo with interactive booths, roundtables, and peer-to-peer networking opportunities. The flexibility of the platform allowed us to tailor each component to our needs, and our participants responded very favorably—many noted that this year’s event was a significant improvement over previous years.
One of the standout features was the roundtable functionality. Each table operated as a separate Zoom meeting, which made it easy for small groups to interact. While the structure worked well overall, we did receive feedback that more icebreaker prompts could further enhance engagement, and that participant rotation between tables could be improved. These are minor suggestions for future iterations, but they speak to the platform’s potential for even greater interactivity.
Technical reliability was excellent. Any issues that arose were typically due to user error rather than platform shortcomings. The interface was intuitive, and features like customizable music volume and rotating banners added a professional touch without being distracting.
A key factor in our successful event was the support we received from our project manager, Ali F. In the weeks leading up to the Expo, Ali was incredibly responsive and proactive. He handled last-minute changes and requests with efficiency and a positive attitude, often providing quick fixes or creative solutions that kept our event running smoothly. His ability to communicate with both our team and the platform’s developers ensured that our needs were met promptly, and his attention to detail made a noticeable difference in our overall experience.
We also appreciated the ability to demo the platform to our partner firms ahead of the event, which helped them feel comfortable and excited about participating. The environment was visually appealing and easy to navigate, which contributed to a welcoming atmosphere for both employers and job seekers.
Looking ahead, we plan to keep the platform open for additional webinars and one-off events, and we’re even considering new uses such as alumni engagement. The positive feedback from our team and participants has made us confident in the platform’s value for a wide range of virtual events.
In summary, this platform provided us with the tools and support needed to deliver a high-quality, engaging virtual event. While there are always opportunities for further customization and enhancement, our experience—especially working with Ali F.—was exceptional. We highly recommend this solution to organizations seeking to create interactive, impactful virtual events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
