The product plugs into an event website and produces a tailored "why attend" landing page within about ten seconds, surfacing the exhibitors, sessions, and content most relevant to each visitor. The company reports that around 30% of users routed through the personalised page click through to registration, which it claims is 10 to 20 times higher than traditional event sites. In its first nine months the startup signed 114 events from organisers including Informa, Easyfairs, the Hyve Group, and the Dubai World Trade Centre, serving customers across the United Kingdom, the United States, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia from its Wintercircus (https://techwiki.ai/hubs/wintercircus/llms.txt) base in Ghent (https://techwiki.ai/cities/ghent/llms.txt).
