"Techfluence's service is genuinely end-to-end — and it shows at every step."
— Name Withheld, MOVA
"Techfluence has managed multiple influencer campaigns for us, and every one was executed flawlessly. Their in-house metrics analysis gives a clearer picture of a creator's potential than most agencies offer, and their cost-per-view methodology makes it easy to compare channels of any size on equal footing. Barry's legal background and deep creator relationships consistently delivered favorable terms — even with some of the biggest tech influencers on YouTube. Once videos went live, a shared performance spreadsheet updated every Friday made it simple to report results up the chain. Techfluence's service is genuinely end-to-end — and it shows at every step."

Praise for Techfluence Virtual Events
Launch Event Sponsor
"It was the right solution at the right time — and one we'd use again even with a larger budget."
— Alex Wesley, Co-founder, CEO, Co-Inventor, Arovia
"As a small startup, our options were limited when it came time to launch the Splay Max. The timing didn't align with traditional media events, and producing our own live event wasn't in the budget. Techfluence's virtual launch event was exactly what we needed. We reached press and influencers across the country and around the world — all within budget. The platform let us demo the product first, then engage meaningfully with attendees in virtual breakout rooms. The post-event data helped us identify key contacts and start building long-term relationships. It was the right solution at the right time — and one we'd use again even with a larger budget."

Product Showcase Exhibitors
"Techfluence easily exceeded our expectations in every respect. Instead of making it look like an event, they made it feel like an event. Highly recommended."
GQ
Grace Qaqundah
Senior VP of Sales and Marketing · THX, Ltd.
"This is what a virtual event should be — simple, effective, affordable. Our 'booth' was packed. Attendees in the video chat were actually more engaged than they are at live events. The data provided afterward made our follow-ups easy and efficient. Bravo, Techfluence!"

"Between the quality and geographic diversity of attendees, minimal time investment, robust platform, and low cost, Techfluence's virtual events are about as close as you can get to a no-brainer!"

"Techfluence was terrific — easy to execute, affordable, and highly effective. I highly recommend this platform for brands launching innovative tech products to leading journalists and content creators."

Kimi Doan
Chief Innovation Officer · Earable Neuroscience
"We had 155 attendees from 27 states and 21 countries visit our booth. With the possible exception of CES, there is nowhere else where this is possible. When's the next one?"
AS
Amir Sharifat
Co-Founder · Flic Smart Button
"It was remarkable how much this felt like a live media event despite the simple — in the very best way — platform. Sharing materials, check. Face-to-face engagement, check. Collecting contact info for effective follow-ups, check, check, check."
ML
Malea Lamb-Hall
Senior Public Relations Specialist · Gen
"As intuitive as the Techfluence platform is, what really sets these events apart is the support from the Techfluence team. Clear instructions on what to provide. Written and video explanations of what to expect. Questions answered almost immediately. Extremely impressive."

Michael Honeycutt
Director of Marketing · AVITA
Virtual Event Attendees
"I was able to pop in and out of booths in any order I wanted, gather info, ask questions, and even see old friends. It felt more like a 'real' event than any virtual event I've attended."

Dave Hamilton
The Mac Observer
"It's so easy to collect info and connect with exhibitors at the Techfluence virtual events. In many, important ways, they really are a better use of my time than live events like Pepcom."

Mark Vena
SmartTech Research
"Kudos to Techfluence — a form to request a review unit, a link to schedule a private meeting after the event, product videos to watch, text chat AND video chat. They really thought of everything."

"The Techfluence events are fabulous. Barry always attracts a truly innovative collection of brands. Saved a ton of time, got me in touch with just the right folks. Beats the heck out of an in-person conference in terms of productivity value for the time."

David Gewirtz

"With his background creating events like DigitalLife, gdgt Live, and getgeeked, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Barry cracked the virtual event puzzle with a simple, intuitive format that does an excellent job catering to the needs of journalists."

Dick DeBartolo
The Giz Whiz
"At every Techfluence event I've attended, I've met with a wide range of exciting companies, engaged with key company representatives (not just PR), collected the materials I need to cover them, and left with new contacts that will grow over time."
