Supercharge your next event with an amazing waitlist
NextMe makes it easy for events, conferences, and brand activations to manage their virtual waitlist. Streamline the check-in process and give attendees a predictable and enjoyable waiting experience. The best part? You can use NextMe on any device and your attendees don’t need to download another app.
How a virtual waitlist can help events and brand activations reach their full potential
Crowds and long lines can turn an otherwise amazing event into a logistical nightmare. With NextMe’s digital waitlist, you can maximize attendee throughput without requiring attendees to stand in line.
Events are expensive, which is why it’s so important to reduce inefficiencies. Exhibitors at events regularly spend upwards of $40K to purchase a booth, airfare, hotels and meals… all for the simple goal connecting with attendees. Maximize the return on this spend by allowing event exhibitors to book more meetings and appointments with attendees, thus ensuring their team’s time is fully-utilized and highly productive.
Retain more attendees and reduce the workload on your staff
Wait times may be inevitable, but they don’t need to hurt the attendee experience at your event. NextMe gives you all the tools you need to manage expectations and streamline your attendee flow. Events that use NextMe often see a 30% increase in attendee retention while freeing up event staff to focus on other important tasks. Waitlist software doesn’t need to be overcomplicated, and we’re here to help you modernize your workflow in just a few easy steps.
Eliminate long lines & crowds
Lines are a thing of the past. With NextMe, attendees receive a text notifying them that they’re next in line. They can either return for their appointment, or cancel. If they cancel, your staff simply moves on to the next guest in the queue. With Self Check-in, you can let attendees join the wait on their own. It’s an easy, efficient, and way more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Capture compliant data for lead generation
NextMe captures zero-party data which is a compliant and easy way to build customer lists and re-engage with attendees and prospects. With NextMe, you can conveniently export your data to use with other CRM tooling, helping you make the most of the leads you capture.
Boost your brand exposure with our virtual waiting room
Attendees can check their position in line and estimated wait time on your Virtual Waiting Room. You can also leverage this real estate to display branded content while they wait. Promote specials, share your social media accounts, and drive traffic to the channels you care about.
Standardize your check-in process to maximize attendee throughput
With NextMe, you can easily set up unique service lanes and configure your workflow to fit your event setting. By efficiently managing the wait, you’ll reduce no shows and get more attendees through the door.

The SXSW XR Experience is a major event showcasing the latest in virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technology. It attracts a global audience of innovators and enthusiasts who explore cutting-edge interactive experiences and creative storytelling.
With so many people eager to experience the XR exhibits, managing wait times and communicating with attendees in real-time became a big challenge for exhibitors.
