vFairs Expert Review, Pricing, Alternatives - 2023

vFairs allows you to host career fairs (and other types of events) virtually in a 3d environment. Within this environment, you can promote your employer brand, communicate with candidates, and increase engagement through several gamification features.

vFairs is an online events management platform through which you can host virtual, in-person as well as hybrid events of different types, including conferences, exhibitions, career fairs, and more. For virtual event hosting, vFairs gives event organizers and attendees an immersive through customizable, 3D virtual venues that they can navigate as if they were in a video game. 

Not only are vFairs’ virtual venues, lobbies, exhibit halls and auditoriums built to look and feel realistic, they also now have networking lounges, allowing organizers and attendees to move their avatar through the space and strike up conversations with people via audio or video, which emulates the feeling of ‘bumping into’ people and starting conversations at a real event.

If you’re looking to host virtual career fairs, vFairs can support you in several ways. The platform enables you to showcase your employer brand through webinars and all sorts of digital content. You can also promote job openings with vFairs’ Job Board module, customize the job application form, review resumes as they come in, shortlist promising candidates and conduct live video interviews.

To support in-person events, vFairs recently launched VenueGear, an offering that combines several tools and services to help you streamline on-site processes such as event registration, ticketing, check-in, badge and various marketing collateral printing. VenueGear also comes with a custom mobile app, allowing attendees to chat, attend webinars, look for other exhibitors, share their business card virtually, and check in during the day of the event.

vFairs is a robust and feature rich platform designed for organizations that want to host frequent or recurring large events. If you are a small business that doesn’t host events that often and the majority of your events are on a small scale attendee-wise, a solution like vFairs is probably an overkill for your company.
