Case Study: The Next Web streamlines Global Entrepreneurship Summit application evaluation with Submit.com

The Next Web manages 5,500 applications with Submit.com

The Next Web, a news site and conference organizer, faced a significant challenge in managing the highly competitive application and evaluation process for the 2019 Global Entrepreneurship Summit. They received over 5,500 applications from 140 countries but had no efficient means to manage and evaluate the data after collecting it through Typeform. They turned to Submit.com for a solution using its award management platform.

Submit.com implemented its platform to manage the complex evaluation process, which involved more than 50 external judges across five categories. Key features like smart folders ensured judges only accessed their assigned applications, preventing mismatches. The vendor's support team provided superior service, quickly resolving any issues that arose. As a result, The Next Web successfully whittled down the applications to select over 1,000 participants for the summit.
