AI-powered event engagement platform for conferences and trade shows
Swapcard operates an event-engagement platform serving associations and exhibition organizers, with heavy investment in sales infrastructure (36 sales roles vs. 14 engineering) and active expansion into new geographic markets. The tech stack reveals a pragmatic, security-conscious maturity: PHP + MySQL backend on AWS with Kubernetes orchestration, hardened by GuardDuty, WAF, and EDR tooling—a footprint built for compliance-heavy enterprise customers. Current hiring velocity and project focus (exhibitor marketplace, territory mapping, value-selling frameworks) signal a sales-led growth phase targeting exhibition organizers, paired with active vulnerability management and PCI-DSS remediation work.
