"One aspect of etouches' event management software that is incredibly valuable is how their tools are designed to optimize the in-person experience, while our platform does the same for the online environment, enabling an organization to effectively manage both simultaneously. This is an extremely powerful value proposition, especially when you consider the recent surge in virtual event activity."
