Deliver trusted attendance data with our event audit
We deliver a complete and accurate picture of attendance for all types of event, whether in-person, online or hybrid.
How do you win investment in your events?
We understand that attracting exhibitors and sponsors is essential to the success of your event.
Exhibitors and sponsors choose to attend or support events that build brand awareness, generate new business leads and strengthen their networks. However, investing in an event can be a significant decision.
So how can you demonstrate you’re a trusted business partner?
Prove your credentials with an audit
We can help you build confidence with exhibitors and sponsors with a simple cost-effective attendance audit.
From consumer exhibitions to trade shows, webinars to awards nights and conferences, an independent audit can be one of the deciding factors that will make clients invest in your event.
And for organisers that are members of UFI, The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, see details of our UFI audit.

Industry standard data
Our standards enable organisers to report their event attendance in an accurate and comparable way. They’re developed by ABC’s Reporting Standards Groups consisting of experienced practitioners representing both buyers and sellers.
Our standards:
- Provide clear metric definitions
- Detail what data must be reported
- Adapt to allow new routes to market to be measured and reported.
They ensure the data we release is relevant, comparable and consistently based on factual evidence.
We’re here to help you understand the requirements.
Your audit options
Whether you organise a consumer exhibition, trade show, conference, webinar, awards night or any other type of event, we can help you build confidence for your clients and stakeholders with a simple cost-effective attendance audit.
In-person events
With physical events you can get your registration, visitors, exhibitors and repeat visitor figures certified.
Online events
In addition to online attendance, we can also certify things like your pre-event registration numbers, whether attendees were watching live or recorded and the average viewing time.
Hybrid events
And if you deliver events both in-person and online, why not do both!
