run.events review
A deep exhibitor platform for enterprise shows that can justify its annual cost.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
run.events is a cloud event-management platform for conference, expo, and fair organizers. It is especially suited to teams managing exhibitor operations across events, with support for up to 500 exhibitors. The product combines visual floor planning, booth assignment, digital contracts, service ordering, invoicing, payment reconciliation, deliverable tracking, messaging, lead retrieval, and exhibitor analytics. It also includes audience management, registration, ticketing, mobile apps, check-in, agenda management, marketing, CRM, and hybrid-event tools.
Pricing is annual and starts with Essentials at €4,300 per year, covering Audience Management, Mobile App, and Check-In & Badging. Advanced costs €5,700 per year and adds Events CRM. Professional costs €8,500 per year and adds Abstract & Agenda Management and Expo & Booth Management. Enterprise costs €9,900 per year and includes the same listed highlights as Professional. A 14-day free trial is available. The pricing structure makes the most sense for organizers that can use the broader event and exhibitor workflow rather than only basic registration or check-in.
The standout area is operational depth for exhibitors. Teams can assign booths using priority rules, waitlists, and conflict detection, then manage contracts with signing and version control, order services with billing and deadlines, collect documents, send status updates, and track payments, leads, traffic, spend, and renewals. HubSpot, HighLevel, Salesforce, and custom API integrations support ecosystem fit, while web and API access provide platform flexibility. Choose run.events when compliance, reconciliation, and exhibitor coordination are central requirements; smaller shows seeking a simpler or lower-cost tool may prefer a narrower platform.
