  1. Data tracking capabilities & detailed analytics report

A platform that tracks every digital attendee’s move right from the registrations till the event ends is the right choice. The best virtual conference platform must offer digital foot printing. It helps in creating a detailed analytics report and measuring the performance metrics. The gathered data of the event helps in showcasing how your event performed.
