Case Study: Kingston Chamber of Commerce achieves a successful first virtual expo and increased attendee connections with Accelevents

How Kingston Chamber of Commerce Pivoted to Virtual to Host their First Virtual Expo

The Kingston Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest independent chambers in London, needed to pivot when COVID forced cancellation of their in-person Kingston Business Expo. Amanda McLoughlin sought a one-stop solution for registration, live sessions and attendee engagement, and chose Accelevents’ virtual event platform (its flexible self-service model) to deliver an intuitive, budget-friendly virtual expo on a compressed timeline.

Accelevents provided the tools for live seminars, video networking areas and attendee interaction, and the Chamber reported strong, measurable engagement—many attendees stayed online for the whole day, made more connections than at face-to-face events, and praised the platform’s design and support. The Accelevents solution enabled quick setup, preserved the event’s networking “buzz,” and produced overwhelmingly positive attendee feedback.
