Dreamcast

Registration, ticketing and streaming for in-person, virtual and hybrid events

Dreamcast is an event technology platform from India that handles the practical side of running conferences, webinars and broadcasts. It says it has spent more than fifteen years on events and that over a thousand event teams have used its registration and event tools. The company's own pitch has shifted over time: older material stresses virtual and hybrid platforms, while its current site leads with enterprise registration software.

On-ground tools

For events held in person, Dreamcast offers an app for on-the-spot registration and ticketing, digital badges and attendee messages sent through WhatsApp, and access management with footfall scanning at the door. The current site extends this to check-in, payments, badging and attendee engagement, bringing online and on-site tasks into one system so that organisers deal with fewer separate vendors.

Virtual and hybrid events

The virtual platform lets organisations move an event online and keep attendees involved with live voice and video chats, polls, game-style features, group conversations and live webinars. For hybrid events there is a mobile event app, a platform that can be fully customised, a way to connect speakers who are present with those who are remote, and analytics and reports on the event. Webinar features cover sharing audio, documents and slides, and a live streaming service handles broadcast of content to a wide audience.

OTT and on-demand video

Dreamcast also supports launching an OTT platform or a video on demand service, so an organiser can build its own streaming site.

Ownership and branding

The company stresses that clients keep their own attendee data, that sign-up revenue is not subject to a commission, and that every form and microsite carries the client's brand rather than Dreamcast's.
