When to contact the Event Organizer?

Know when and why to reach out to your event organizer for support or questions.

Updated over a week ago

Swapcard is a platform used by Organizers to host their Community and Events. As the platform provider, we do not directly manage or handle content and registrations. Our team can assist you with any technical queries and troubleshooting related to the app's functionalities. Below are some of the most common scenarios and questions that can help you get acquainted with the platform and set you up for success.

Navigating an event can sometimes present challenges that require direct assistance. While Swapcard offers a comprehensive platform to enhance your event experience, certain issues and inquiries must be directed to the event organizer. This article outlines when it’s appropriate to contact the event organizer and why understanding this distinction can save you time and ensure you receive the help you need.


What is managed by the event organizer?

If you’re facing any of these, please contact the event organizer directly:

🧭 Event Info and Logistics

Swapcard powers the event app, but the organizer plans and manages all event details—from venues to scheduling and on-site experiences. If your question is about the event itself (not the app), contact the organizer.

Examples of what the organizer can help you with:

📍 Venue & Access

  • Where is the event being held?

  • What time should I arrive?

  • What is the floorplan of the event?

  • How do I get into the venue or specific sessions?

  • Are there access restrictions, wristbands, or badge checks?

🏨 Accommodations & Travel

  • Are there recommended hotels nearby?

  • Is there a discount code for lodging?

  • How do I book transportation from the airport?

  • Are shuttles provided between locations?

  • Do you provide visa invitation letters?

🗓 Event Schedule

  • Where can I find the most up-to-date agenda?

  • Has a session been moved, rescheduled, or cancelled?

  • How can I be notified of last-minute changes?

🍽 On-site Services

  • Will food and drinks be provided?

  • What are the COVID or health safety guidelines?

  • Is there Wi-Fi at the venue?

  • Is there a cloakroom or luggage storage?

🧑‍💼 Attendee Services

  • Where do I collect my badge?

  • Are there help desks on-site?

  • What do I do if I lose something at the event?

➡️ Swapcard does not have access to venue logistics, schedules, or real-time updates about the physical event—your organizer is the best and only source for this information.
