Case Study: PA Procurement Expo delivers a successful, highly engaging 4‑day virtual event with Canapii

How The Pennsylvania Department of General Services hosted their annual Procurement Expo with Canapii

Pa Procurement Expo needed to move the Pennsylvania Department of General Services’ annual procurement expo online and sought a platform that could host large general sessions, dozens of concurrent workshops, and a sponsor/exhibitor backend while remaining intuitive for users of varied technical abilities. The event required support for both live and automated sessions, last‑minute changes from speakers, and day‑of tech support to ensure a smooth virtual experience—requirements that led the organizers to select Canapii.

Canapii delivered a combined solution using its Greenroom for large, polished broadcasts and Chime conferencing for smaller workshops and networking, plus gamification, a sponsor portal, Video on Demand, automated workflows, and in‑session tech support. The result: a 4‑day, two‑week event with nearly 700 attendees, 45 sponsors, 116 sessions and 40 speakers, higher engagement via polling and Q&A, recorded content for on‑demand access, robust analytics and lead generation for sponsors, and reduced organizer workload thanks to Canapii’s automation and support.
