How It Works
The Event Technology Portal is a B2B marketplace built exclusively for the events industry. We connect event professionals, production companies, AV rental houses, and corporate buyers with verified equipment suppliers — all within a single, secure platform.
We have two types of products. Here is how each works:
Type 1 — Curated Buy-Now Products
These are carefully selected, ready-to-buy products relevant to the events industry. When you click “Buy Now” on one of these listings, you will be redirected to the retailer’s page to complete your purchase. Pricing, delivery, and returns for these products are governed entirely by that retailer.
These products are ideal for quick procurement of standard accessories, consumables, and off-the-shelf equipment where you need immediate fulfilment.
Type 2 — Manufacturer / Supplier Direct Products
These are products listed directly by verified event technology manufacturers and suppliers. For these products, you go through our structured quote and payment process — and all payments are handled securely through Event Technology Portal. You never need to transfer money directly to a supplier.
Step 1 — Browse & Discover
Search or browse by technology category, application, or manufacturer. Every product page includes full specifications, use-case guidance, and a supplier profile.
Step 2 — Add to Quote
Click “Add to Quote” on any supplier product. You can add items from multiple suppliers before submitting — your Quote Cart consolidates everything.
Step 3 — Submit Your Quote Request
Complete your Quote Cart with your event requirements, quantities, delivery date, and any special configuration needs. You will need a free account to submit. We review your request and forward it to the relevant supplier(s).
Step 4 — Receive a Confirmed Price
The supplier reviews your request and responds through our platform within 1–3 business days with pricing, availability, and lead time. All communication happens inside the Event Technology Portal — not via external email or phone.
Step 5 — Pay Securely Through Our Platform
Once you are happy with the quote, you confirm your order and pay Event Technology Portal directly via PayPal (additional payment methods available soon). We hold your payment securely until the order is fulfilled.
Step 6 — Delivery & Release
The supplier ships your order. Once delivery is confirmed, we release payment to the supplier. If anything goes wrong, your funds are protected — we do not release payment until you have received your goods as described.
Your money is always protected. You pay Event Technology Portal — not the supplier. We act as the secure payment intermediary on every transaction.
Why Source From Event Technology Portal?
There are many ways to find events equipment. Here is why thousands of event professionals choose to source through us.
1. Built Exclusively for the Events Industry
Every product on our platform — from conference microphones to LED walls, interpretation systems to audience response technology — is relevant to events professionals. No consumer clutter, no irrelevant categories. Just the equipment your events actually need.
2. Your Payment Is Always Protected
Unlike sourcing directly from a supplier you have never worked with before, every transaction on Event Technology Portal goes through our secure payment system. You pay us — we pay the supplier only after your order is fulfilled. Your money is never at risk.
3. Verified Suppliers, Reduced Risk
Every manufacturer and supplier listed on our platform goes through a verification process before they can publish products. You are engaging with legitimate, vetted businesses — not anonymous sellers — and you have our platform standing behind every transaction.
4. One Platform, Multiple Suppliers
Need equipment from five different manufacturers for a single event? Build one Quote Cart, submit one request, manage everything from one dashboard. No chasing multiple supplier emails or managing separate invoices from different vendors.
5. Transparent Quote-Based Pricing
We do not hide pricing behind sales calls. Suppliers respond to your quote request with clear, itemised pricing through the platform. You compare, decide, and confirm — at your own pace, with a full paper trail.
6. Post-Sale Support & Dispute Protection
If something goes wrong — goods not as described, delivery issues, quality problems — you have a direct line to our support team. Because we hold payment, we have real leverage to resolve disputes in your favour. You are not on your own.
7. Global Supplier Network, Events-Focused
Our supplier network spans manufacturers and distributors across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas — all specialising in events technology. Whether sourcing for a local conference or a multi-country roadshow, we have the right suppliers.
8. No Buyer Platform Fees
There are no subscription fees or platform charges for buyers. Submit as many quote requests as you need. You pay only the agreed price for the equipment you order.
