Challenges
GCC Power is an annual event that brings influential people from the energy industry on a single platform, where discussion ranges from the latest developments in the energy industry to the latest products being released.
However, this was the first time it was being hosted virtually. Hence, the client, based out of the middle-east, wanted to host a virtual exhibition that was very customized based on a middle-eastern theme.
Here were the requirements of the event:
- Customization: The host wanted the entire event to be customized according to their theme with custom designs.
- Bifurcation: Also, the host wanted to segregate the participants based on who paid and who didn’t.
- Engagement: Engagement was another aspect the host was particular about.
- Payment gateway integration was required to streamline the payment process for the participants.
Solutions
The entire platform was customized, including the networking lounge, meeting rooms and conference halls
Features like public chats, Live Q&As, session wise playlists of all the videos, video calls with answer/decline features were present to boost the engagement.
The participants were bifurcated based on payments. The participants who didn’t pay were only allowed to view the opening and closing ceremony. And the participants who paid were elevated to delegate status and were allowed to view all the conferences.
An automated booth maker was available to help the exhibitors in fully customizing their product booths.
Private meeting rooms were set up, one for the delegates and one for the exhibitors.
After the event, the transcripts of all the chats that were initiated were available to download for the exhibitors to help the understand how the chats fared.
A third party payment gateway integration was made to meet the client’s demand.

Here are some of the highlights of the event:
- 1220 total registrations were recorded from 59 countries.
- 6 hr 56 mins was the average time spent for 2 days on the website
