Why Subtext for Events?
Subtext lets you communicate with and market to your attendees before, during, and after an event with instant and reliable updates.
No downloads or signups.
Don’t ask people to download an app that they’ll only use once. Skip the hassle of managing conversations across multiple social channels. Texting is fast, direct, and intuitive.
Breeze through Q&A.
With Subtext, you have the flexibility to blast out a question to all your subscribers, skim for interesting questions, and easily follow up with individuals on a 1-on-1 basis.
Extend your event.
Just because your event ends doesn’t mean conversations with subscribers need to. We’ll help you bring your event subscribers over to a new engagement campaign.
Keep your tracks on track.
Send general event messages in a broadcast to all subscribers, or send messages to just a subset of subscribers based on their event preferences and interests.
