Sessionboard vs Premagic.
Premagic generates personalized "I'm attending" and "I'm speaking" posters, AI-matched photo galleries, and referral links, then nudges people to post. Sessionboard runs the same advocacy motion from the other direction: it already holds your call for papers, speakers, sessions, and agenda, so tracked share assets fire automatically at acceptance and agenda publish, exhibitor and sponsor packages carry per-link ROI, internal teams get the same recipes through Dispatch, and every attributed registration compounds into a speaker CRM you keep across annual cycles. A poster tool bolted onto registration cannot see any of that.
SIDE BY SIDE
Where each one does its work.
Read from the approved comparison, not from a feature checklist. Where we could not verify a Premagic capability from their own material, the cell says so.
| Capability | Sessionboard | Premagic |
|---|---|---|
| What they share | Session clips, quote cards and session pages, branded with your kit; they update when the agenda changes. | Personalized "I'm attending" posters with referral links for every registrant, plus branded AI avatars for social buzz. |
| Photo distribution | Not offered. Share kits use clips, quote cards and session pages from the record. | Face-matched galleries delivered to every attendee after the event — Premagic's origin is event photography, and this piece is genuinely theirs. Sessionboard does not do photo UGC. |
| Community and references | Associations, medical and scientific societies, trade shows and enterprise teams; historical speakers and abstracts import so returning faculty arrive with their history. | GITEX Global and other Middle East mega-events with six-figure attendance — strong for expo-style poster campaigns. |
| Share kits and tracked links | Share kits with tracked links for speakers, sponsors and attendees; registrations traced back to the share. | varies |
| Who shares | Speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and attendees. | varies |
| Attribution | Registrations traced to shares and sessions, on the person’s record. | varies |
| Program behind the share | Submission forms with logic per track and format; abstracts, disclosures and files on one submission. Returning speakers arrive with their history. | varies |
| Where the data lands | Two-way sync with HubSpot, Salesforce, iMIS, Fonteva and Nimble AMS; public API, webhooks and an MCP server. | varies |
| Registration | Stays where it is. Accepted sessions and speakers sync to Cvent, Swoogo, Bizzabo and others. | varies |
Where Premagic fits best: no speaker or session program to speak of — pure attendee-volume marketing. What often stays with Premagic for now: AI photo galleries and attendee photo distribution mid-contract — Sessionboard does not compete for photo UGC. This page compares workflow and product fit, not a feature checklist.
WHERE IT DIFFERS · THE SHARE STARTS AT ACCEPTANCE
The people who drew the room can fill the next one.
Sessionboard already holds the call for papers, the speakers and the agenda, so share kits with tracked links go out at acceptance and at agenda publish, carrying the real session title and time. Premagic bolts a share onto registration; here the share is built from the session, and it updates when the agenda changes.

WHERE IT DIFFERS · ATTRIBUTION TO A PERSON
Attribution to a person, not a referral link.
A registration traced to a speaker’s share sits on both records: the speaker who earned it and the attendee who came. Results roll up event over event, so you know which faculty and sponsors to activate first next year, and Pathways and your CRM take it from there.

Questions, answered
Does Sessionboard replace Premagic?
For speaker, exhibitor, sponsor, and attendee advocacy with registration attribution — yes, and from the program record you already run. The exception is photo UGC: AI-matched photo galleries are Premagic's specialty and Sessionboard does not offer them.
Premagic says speaker posters drive up to 40% more registrations. Can Sessionboard do that motion?
Yes, and earlier in the cycle. Share assets generate at acceptance with tracked links, reminders go out at each milestone, and attribution ties posts to registrations by advocate and channel — the same flywheel without a second vendor holding your data.
What about "I'm speaking" cards for every speaker?
Native. Personalized share pages and AI share copy come from the session record, so the card carries the real session title, time, and abstract — and updates when the agenda changes instead of going stale.
How is attribution different from Premagic's referral links?
Both track clicks. Sessionboard ties them to registrations per advocate and per channel, then rolls performance up event over event on the speaker CRM, so you know which faculty to activate first next year.
Can we export everything later?
Yes. Submissions, scores, speakers, agenda, transcripts and media export by CSV, program book export, the public API and webhooks.
