LiveBuzz

Acquired

Overview

LiveBuzz is a UK event-technology company providing integrated registration, event websites, exhibitor and visitor portals, mobile apps, onsite services, lead retrieval, and reporting. Its primary customers are organisers of trade exhibitions, conferences, and hybrid consumer events. The company is known for combining software with managed registration and onsite support rather than offering a standalone self-service platform.

History

LiveBuzz was founded in the United Kingdom in 2005, although some company and third-party profiles identify its operating history as beginning in 2010 or 2011. It developed as an event-technology provider focused on registration and data capture for exhibitions, conferences, and hybrid consumer events. The company expanded its integrated platform to include event websites, exhibitor and visitor hubs, apps, onsite services, lead retrieval, and reporting. LiveBuzz was acquired by See Tickets Group in 2021, becoming part of that group’s broader ticketing and event-technology activities.

  • LiveControl - Core platform for event registration, data management, reporting, multilingual support, and integrations.

Reputation

LiveBuzz is positioned as a specialist, full-service event-technology provider with particular experience in registration and complex exhibition workflows. Organisers and professional users value the integrated data model, managed implementation, and onsite support. Publicly available information provides limited standardized pricing and independent review coverage, so comparisons with self-service event-platform vendors are difficult. Its acquisition by See Tickets Group is viewed as evidence of consolidation within the wider ticketing and event-technology market.
