eShow and NoteAffect Empower Events
to Use Education as a Strategy

January 8, 2026, South Barrington, IL – eShow, a leading provider of event management solutions, and NoteAffect, an interactive learning experience for education and events, today announced a strategic partnership to empower events to use their education as a strategy that delivers real measurable engagement.

“With eShow and NoteAffect, event education is no longer a checkbox, it’s a strategy. Even in a world of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, education is a variable that events can actually control and use to their advantage as a top reason to attend, extend their reach, and generate new revenue.” said Jay Tokosch, CEO and Founder of NoteAffect.

The partnership empowers event organizers with tools to streamline the planning and execution of their conference along with leveraging their education content and attendee learning experience to create and measure real engagement for program success.

“eShow makes it easy for organizers to manage their entire event in one place where the data and attendee experience pairs seamlessly with NoteAffect through the eShow event app to maximize engagement before, during, and after the event.” said Raju Patel, CEO and Founder of eShow.

eShow offers a full suite of event technology solutions that cover the entire event lifecycle, including registration management, trade show and exhibition tools, mobile apps, conference management, and more. eShow’s platform allows for better management of logistics, attendee tracking, and engagement.

NoteAffect software simultaneously records and broadcasts live session content directly through the eShow event app for in-person attendees to take notes, follow along with multilingual live captioning, and ask questions. The recorded visuals+audio then sync into segmented chapters with AI summaries that attendees will actually watch.

Organizers using eShow and NoteAffect can now create and measure tangible engagement so they know exactly what content to program, repurpose, promote, and monetize that anchors attendance, extends their reach, and generates new revenue. eShow’s conference management tools centralize speaker coordination, session scheduling, and venue logistics into one integrated platform, automating workflows and freeing meeting planners to focus on delivering exceptional attendee experiences. Current clients of either company are encouraged to reach out to their account representative to learn more about how they can leverage this powerful partnership.
