What event planners discover when evaluating vFairs
vFairs has built a strong reputation in the virtual events space, with modern design templates and immersive 3D environments that planners genuinely value. But for professional event teams managing complex, multi-format programs, a few things tend to come up.
We've done the research so you don't have to. The insights below are gathered from real conversations with event professionals and independent user reviews, so you can make the most informed decision for your events.
🔒 Event flexibility is limited
Backend dependency is the most commonly cited reason planners leave vFairs. Any modification to the platform typically requires going through the support team rather than being handled directly. For planners who need to respond quickly to shifting event requirements, that dependency creates a bottleneck at exactly the wrong moment.
💻 A platform whose strengths lie in virtual
vFairs is at its best in virtual environments, and that's a genuine strength. For planners managing in-person programs at scale, with onsite check-in, exhibitor coordination, and financial reconciliation, the platform's in-person capabilities have real limits. As event programs grow to include more formats and more complexity, that scope becomes harder to work around.
🕐 Support that isn't always available
vFairs' support team is predominantly offshore, which means time-zone delays can leave planners waiting for responses during their own business hours. For teams managing live events, a support structure that isn't available in your time zone isn't really support when it counts.
🔍 Reporting that requires extra effort to be useful
Accessing meaningful analytics in vFairs often means requesting custom reports — a process that can take up to a week — or exporting data to external tools before it can be interrogated or shared. For planners who need real-time visibility into event performance, that friction slows down the decisions that matter most.

Rest assured, with EventsAir your success won’t impact your budget.
