Press Conference Platform



Press conferences are essential to businesses, entertainment, sports, and government, yet have not been improved upon in decades.

See how CrowdUltra enhances any press conference by enabling members of the press and fans to engage in organized Q&A in a powerful way.

    




Host Account:
Create a Host Account for the organization holding press conferences. By doing so you can enhance every occasion, spread awareness to those following you, and increase engagement.
Channel:
Create a Channel for whatever you are holding press conferences for such as this year’s season. This establishes an organized social hub for the occasion, increasing connection, engagement, awareness, and event attendance. Add additional Channel information including whatever you would like with endless customization through our Rich-Text/HTML editor or by embedding webpages for the Channel and ticketing/merchandise. Add up to five Co-Hosts if necessary, to provide equal access to the Channel. From here, Crowd Members can search for and follow your Channel.
Events:
Create an Event for every press conference. Events enable organized engagement surrounding the specific occasion, establish an organized location to provide robust information, assist with spreading awareness, and allow the Crowd to stay on top of everything.

Each Event has information including an image, location, date and time, and description. You can enable Event Engagement in several different forms. Events can be made private with a defined pin so only a select group can participate.

Each Event can have additional information including whatever you would like with endless customization through our Rich-Text/HTML editor with embeddable integrations or by embedding webpages for the Event and viewing/merchandise. Event info can also be reposted to the feed as a feed announcement providing notice regarding the Event to your Crowd.

Hosts can record video to Dropbox, broadcast a livestream on YouTube, or embed recorded video within any Event. This allows Hosts to put on virtual or hybrid events that allow those who cannot physically attend the occasion to be a part of the crowd and share video with the Crowd pertaining to the Event. Crowd Members can view the embedded video/livestream from within the Event as they engage.

Include members of the organization, players, or coaches involved in the Event. Including them spreads awareness to their followers and enables them to be asked questions or tagged in posts organized within their own dedicated list. If they already have a CrowdUltra Host Account linked to the email address entered, they will be invited to accept the Event from their own list of Events. If they do not have an account, they will be sent an email with a link and login pin to engage.

If attendees have yet to join CrowdUltra, they can join to engage in seconds using our Quick Join feature. A Quick Join Link and ID are provided for every Event that can be shared and used to sign up with.
Channel/Event Chat:
Every Channel and Event has a chat for all crowd members, Host(s), and speaker(s)/guest(s) to text message one another. Channel/Event chats enable organized communication centered around the specific Channel or Event, strengthening connection and increasing engagement while never getting in the way of Event or daily Feed engagement. Crowd members can also create their own personal group chats with other crowd members for every Channel and Event, allowing for personalized chatting among friends surrounding the Channel or Event.
Event Call-Ins / Meet & Greets:
Participate in Call-Ins or Meet & Greets with your Crowd.

Allow your Crowd to join an ordered queue or submit their conversation topic for you to pre-screen. Engage with one or more members of your Crowd through audio or video chat.

Once the conversation is over, remove them from the chat and automatically be linked with the next Crowd member in the queue or select the next interesting topic.

The audio or video chat can also be recorded to Dropbox or recorded and livestream broadcast to YouTube.
Event Q&A:
Conducting Q&A is the basis of a press conference. It has been reserved to purely those with press credentials. With CrowdUltra, questions can be asked by anyone interested then utilized by press outlets. The standard nature of getting in line or passing around a microphone to ask a question is less efficient and effective than using CrowdUltra. Other common outlets that are used such as Twitter or Slido are also limited when compared to CrowdUltra.

Questions are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting to assist in showing the Host, panelists, or moderator what the Crowd has the most curiosity about, saving time. The need for a moderator may be entirely eliminated by using CrowdUltra as well.

Questions can be allowed to be asked before, during, after, or some combination of the three. Questions can be asked and answered in audio, video, or written format. Hosts may also allow questions to be asked anonymously. Questions can be asked in general as well as to a specific Host or panelist. Questions can also be marked as answered if they were answered verbally during the event, or dismissed to take them off the list and hide them.
Event Posts:
Allow the Crowd to easily post, share, and connect surrounding the occasion. By creating an organized environment for your whole Crowd to engage, you increase the effectiveness of social engagement and connection surrounding the occasion.

Enable Event Posts before, during, after, or some combination of the three. Each Crowd participant can publish Event Posts free. Hosts can allow the Crowd to post audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or written Posts. Posts can be published in anonymous format if allowed by the Host. This augments the experience allowing the Crowd to share their experience and interesting things, be creative, have fun, as well as inform and help others.

Event posts are displayed in an ordered list from highest to lowest rank based on Crowd voting. Every post can be responded to by Hosts and Guests. They can respond with audio, video, images, links, YouTube/Vimeo videos, or in written format. Posts can also be highlighted to spotlight to the Crowd as a whole, or dismissed and removed from the list.
Ticketing:
Create and sell In-Person tickets, Virtual/PPV tickets, or both for any Channel or Event. Our easy to use ticketing system offers flexibility and control to be perfectly tailored for any ticketed occasion. Sell multiple ticket types such as day one and day two tickets or a VIP ticket. Determine the total ticket quantity available, complimentary ticket quantity available, and how many tickets can be purchased per person.

We are disrupting the ticketing industry by offering the ability to sell tickets with the lowest fees and highest payouts in the industry. We only charge 3% + $1.50 per ticket transaction regardless of quantity to the buyer, and our payout fee is $1.50 no matter the payout size.

Monitor ticket sales in real time through our robust reporting system. See what is delivering the most results and other actionable insights to sell more tickets. Tickets are automatically marketed to your followers through our platform and via our search/discovery functionality. They can also be easily marketed and shared anywhere else. We SEO optimize all Channels, Events, and tickets to ensure the most views, clicks, and conversions.

Our ticket scanner is the most accessible and easiest to use. The scanner is available on any device including phones, tablets, computers, and scanning hardware. Tickets are accessible through our app along with being downloadable, shareable, and printable via email.

Create customizable badges for any in-person ticket. Badges can have three created fields included on the badge, such as where the attendee is from. Upon purchasing a ticket, attendees will be prompted to add their badge information, making it as easy on hosts as possible. Ticket badges can be easily printed in three different formats.

Our ticketing experience for both hosts and attendees is also far ahead of industry-standard. We are the only ticketing platform with scalp-prevention functionality. CrowdUltra also enables re-entry to be allowed while ensuring the re-entry process is not abused.

Our ticketing is developed with industry leading security standards to ensure ticket sellers and buyers are as safe as possible. All purchasing and payout financial information is secured via Stripe and PayPal third-party services. We never store any sensitive financial information.
Additional Features:
We provide many other additional features, including sending emails to all followers and exporting follower information. Hosts can send email announcements to all followers of a specific Channel or Event. Hosts can also export information about their followers including their name and email so they can reach out beyond the platform.
Profile:
Create a profile to showcase who you are with the most customizable profile experience any social platform has ever offered. Profiles can be created with endless possibilities using our Rich-Text/HTML Editor with embeddable integrations or by embedding a webpage. All Crowd Members can view and interact with the profile.

Daily Feed:
The daily feed is designed to enhance engagement by enabling you to communicate in a powerful way and extend awareness. Unlike other social platforms, we give you access to 100% of your following instead of <1-10%. We do not advertise on our feed or have algorithms manipulating viewership and effectiveness.

Q&A sparks conversation and encourages the conversation to continue. Ask daily questions to your Crowd in audio, video, or written format. Answer questions from members of your Crowd in audio, video, or written format.

Create polls to engage, receive feedback, and learn from your Crowd. Add the poll question and up to five poll answers. Polls may be asked to all of your followers or more specifically to Channel followers, Event followers, or both. Crowd members may only respond once and will see the result percentages upon responding.

Send daily announcements to keep Crowd members in the loop and share content using our Rich-Text/HTML editor with countless embeddable integrations. Your announcements can be reposted by members of your Crowd to everyone following them, spreading organic awareness in a way that will increase your following.
