Gatherly Core Features
Immersive Digital Venues
Gatherly creates multi-floor digital environments that replace static webinars. Attendees can navigate spaces naturally, similar to in-person events, leading to more organic interactions and higher engagement rates compared to traditional video platforms.
Spatial Navigation
Attendees can move freely through virtual spaces, choosing who to interact with naturally. This eliminates the forced 'always on' camera/mic environment of traditional platforms and creates more comfortable networking opportunities.
Full-Service Event Management
Gatherly offers end-to-end support including dedicated event managers, in-event concierges, pre-event walkthroughs with speakers, and assistance with invitations and registration. This ensures professionally executed events from start to finish.
Engagement Tools
The platform includes interactive features like polls, quizzes, Q&A sessions, collaborative whiteboards, and an immersive arcade for games. These tools significantly boost attendee participation and event engagement.
Customizable Environments
Organizers can create custom event landing pages, toolbars, maps, and URLs. Enterprise plans even offer white-labeling options to fully brand the virtual venue.
Comprehensive Analytics
Post-event insights provide valuable data on attendee engagement, interactions, and overall event performance to help measure ROI and improve future events.
