According to Tradeshow Week’s 2006 Exhibition Management Survey, over fifty percent of exhibition managers responded that the top issues facing event managers were attendee promotion, controlling exhibitors’ cost, exhibitor satisfaction, and general cost control.  

At the same time, the industry faces the challenge of delivering more value to the event attendee.  Venues, conference organizers, and destination marketers around the world also face these challenges.  

EBMS 17.1 empowers USI clients worldwide to better address these challenges so that system users may gain more time to focus on value-added activities while reducing costs through increased collaboration, productivity, and efficiency.  Many enhancements and the new Audience Participation & Surveys module are designed to add value directly to the event consumers with little or no effort from the event organizer or venue.
