About Shindig
Shindig is a cloud-based virtual event management software designed to help businesses communicate, collaborate, and connect with audiences during video conferences via private chats, text, green rooms, screen sharing capabilities, and more. Hosts can capture participants' email, name, and attendance information, handle guest lists, and customize the platform using backgrounds, branding, and widgets.
Using Shindig, managers can automatically send email reminders to participants about events and privately communicate with audience members via video chats. The solution supports public, private, and password-protected and ticketed events and allows hosts to search for specific attendees according to requirements. The monitor view also enables organizations to broadcast videos on TV monitors before in-room and online audiences during hybrid events.
Shindig's mobile applications for Android and iOS devices let audience members remotely attend events, engage with hosts via text, and participate in polls. The software also facilitates integration with various third-party social media and live streaming platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube Live.

A Fun and Interactive Virtual Event Platform!
Reviewed on 2023/02/08
Pros
I recently hosted an event on the Shindig platform and it was a huge success! The interface was incredibly user-friendly and provided all of the tools I needed to host a successful virtual event. From interactive polls to breakout rooms, Shindig had it all! It's definitely my go-to platform for hosting any future virtual events.

We use Shindig for our yearly legal tech conference where we invite vendors and C-level executives to a rapid fire showcase on legal tech and workflows. Shindig works well for us because our guests like to connect with people of their choosing (not be pushed) and that breakout rooms could happen while someone was presenting on stage.
Pros
Love that it's easy to network and connect with people and that it's user friendly. I also really enjoy the live profile pics and the stage, LOVE the stage....really cool way to make you feel like you are really "there" live.
Cons
tech issues (i.e. what browser you are using, on VPN, etc)- although in fairness the tech issues are 95% user based but it does complicate things if you have to hand hold your audience.

I love this platform and it was my my first time attending a virtual event of metaverse. I was really surprised at the capacity of interaction available using this platform. The sessions scheduled on the dashboard contains very informative sessions for me which i am planning to join. I am glad that i am introduced to this platform.
Pros
Shindig is a powerful platform with wide range of informative sessions available to learn and grow. It provides a virtual platform to attend events. I love the metaverse interactions and library. It makes me partly feel like i am going to attend an event in reality.
Cons
I wish that there were more people using this platform. This platform would have been huge and very helpful if it attracts more crowds.

ShinDig is uniquely dynamic among other event platforms

We're producing panels, workshops, and award shows that allow people to see each other in the room, the way they would at an in-person event. Interaction between attendees can be real live video chatting, not just text chatting. The rotating CTA widget is also great, because it allows us to provide our sponsors some additional real estate / web traffic.
Pros
Shindig has great customer service, and a responsive development team.
Interaction between event attendees is more dynamic and flexible than other platforms.
Customization and uploading backgrounds in the event rooms gives you the opportunity for fabulous aesthetics, and makes people really feel like they're "in the room," plus provides you plenty of branding opportunities. Being able to upload heavy video files and play them flawlessly is a great feature. And capturing recordings in full screen makes it like zoom, but way better. 6 podiums on the stage covers our needs. Shindig helps our events shine!
Cons
The wysiwyg editor for the event landing page is a little clunky and out of date, but you can work around it.
We have used eventbrite for our ticketing, because shindig doesn't yet have complex registration options built in, such as multiple custom discount codes.
Response from Shindig
