Case Study: University of Texas at San Antonio supports virtual collaboration and rural business growth with Accelevents

How UTSA SBDC Leveraged Accelevents for Virtual Collaboration & Rural Business Growth

The University of Texas at San Antonio Small Business Development Center hosted the annual Texas Rural Challenge and needed to pivot its in-person conference to a virtual format while maintaining strong attendee engagement, concurrent programming, and flexible pricing. They turned to Accelevents to support the event with a virtual event platform that could meet those needs.

Using Accelevents, the team launched a two-day virtual conference with ticketing and registration, main stage sessions, breakout sessions, Accelevents Studio, networking lounges, 1:1 speed networking, and an expo hall. Accelevents helped the University of Texas at San Antonio SBDC deliver 35 sessions with 47 speakers/panelists and more than 240 registrations, expanding the event’s reach and enabling rural businesses, organizations, and governments to collaborate and learn effectively.
