What Klik does
Klik is a smart event badge platform that combines Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wearable hardware with event management software to enable attendee networking, sponsor lead capture, and real-time analytics at large in-person conferences. The core product, the Klik SmartBadge, is a badge affixed with a small wearable device that supports click-to-connect contact exchange, stores only a unique badge ID for privacy, and can be refurbished and redeployed across events. Supporting products include Klik Lead Retrieval and the Klik Exhibitor Dashboard for sponsor lead scoring and CRM upload, OneKlik Touchpoints for distributing downloadable content, and a Klik Analytics Dashboard that delivers live foot-traffic heatmaps and session attendance tracking. The platform is hosted on Google Cloud and includes an open API for custom installations such as personalized swag and interactive experiences. Klik can be deployed alongside Bizzabo's Event Experience OS or integrated with third-party event registration software.
Klik serves three primary customer segments at large enterprise events of 500 or more attendees: conference organizers and event planners seeking to demonstrate ROI, sponsors and exhibitors seeking qualified lead capture, and professional attendees seeking frictionless networking. Named customers include HubSpot's INBOUND conference, Customer Management Practice (CMP) at Customer Contact Week, 6Sense at its ICC event, and Digital Procurement World. Reported outcomes include 400% increases in exhibitor leads, 250-500% increases in networking activity, $149,000+ in additional sponsor revenue for CMP, and 94% attendee adoption at the CMP deployment.
Klik generates revenue through three streams: sale or rental of SmartBadge hardware, SaaS platform subscriptions priced per event activation, and professional services delivered by Bizzabo Studios. Pricing is custom and variable, tied to event size, duration, and feature scope under multi-year enterprise contracts. Distribution is through Bizzabo's direct enterprise sales team and onsite professional services. Klik is a product line of Bizzabo, which was acquired by GameSquare Holdings in 2025; the acquisition was cited as a contributor to a 142% year-over-year revenue surge in Q4 2025.
