To further enhance the experience for attendees of the AGM’s Retail Conference, we partnered with Winning Ticket, an AGM Premier Gold Level Sponsor, to build a custom event platform for 2023. Winning Ticket, the All-Inclusive Event Platform, eliminates the need for multiple software programs and thus maximizes the event experience, for ALL involved. The software caters to registration needs, yet provides numerous other capabilities, including live scoring, leaderboards, payment processing, message center, auctions and much more. With its zero out of pocket costs to the customer, it’s not just an event platform, it’s an event solution. The AGM is proud to have Winning Ticket as an Event Technology Partner.
