Detailed Review
Swapcard aims at the exhibitor side of an event: leads, hosted buyer meetings and sponsored visibility are part of the core product, next to registration and the attendee app.
The privacy policy lists Swapcard Corporation SAS in France as the group entity, plus affiliates in the United States, Canada, the UK, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, and the address of its data protection officer is in Paris.
Revenue tools for exhibitors
The pricing page groups add-ons into monetising exhibitors and sponsors, advanced registration, white label, onsite access control and integrations. Hosted buyer matching pairs sellers and buyers by preference.
A lead centre and lead scanning let exhibitors qualify contacts during and after the show.
Certifications listed by the vendor
The company information page lists ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II audits and PCI DSS v4.0 validation, with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit.
Hosting is described as AWS multi-zone without naming a region.
Contract law by organiser location
The organiser terms apply French law and Paris courts for organisers in the European Economic Area, English law for the UK and New York law for organisers in the United States or unlisted countries.
The terms do not name the contracting entity for each region, so confirm it in the order form.
Limitations to Consider
No prices are published, and the target customers are mid-market and enterprise B2B organisers, so a small workshop will find it oversized. Swapcard has a United States affiliate, and the organiser terms do not name the contracting company, so check the order form. See Eventee for per-event pricing.
Who Should Use Swapcard
Trade show and congress organisers with many exhibitors who want lead capture and meeting matchmaking inside the event app.
