Quick answer

Maritz Global Events (including Experient registration technology) provides registration, housing, sourcing, and operational event services for association and corporate conferences. Sessionboard is the program layer for call for papers, committee review, speaker CRM, transcription, Attendee Hub, and advocacy when registration and show services stay with Maritz.

Sound like your team?

Match your role to the job Sessionboard solves — program, content, or marketing attribution.

Registration owner

Registration stays on your incumbent platform — but program and speaker ops should not stop at CSV export.

Marketing ops

Another point tool mid-contract — Sessionboard public API keeps the program graph authoritative.

AV / production

Capture vendor locked for the season — write transcriptions and media back via API instead of re-keying.

Executive buyer

Rip-and-replace is a non-starter — you need displacement on program depth while registration stays put.

What Sessionboard delivers natively

Keep Maritz Global Events mid-contract when you need to — Sessionboard owns call for papers, speaker operations, and content marketing on the program graph.

Native first — add their tool only if you must

Sessionboard already includes transcription, attendee experiences, and content marketing. A separate subscription makes sense only in narrow cases.

Keep Maritz Global Events only when

  • Multi-year Maritz registration or full-service contract for the annual meeting
  • Ops team standardized on Maritz / Experient for attendee processing and housing
  • PCO or association staff wants Maritz for reg while program committee needs modern abstract ops

Sessionboard alone — usually the answer

  • Abstract committee still runs in email and Excel beside Maritz registration
  • Need transcription, clips, and advocacy tied to program sessions
  • Speaker identity must persist across years on one CRM
  • Evaluating displacement from legacy abstract systems (see Sessionboard vs CTI compare)
