10Times is where a show gets found. Bidancer is where a show gets run — booths, exhibitors, sponsors, passes and check-in, with the money settling into your own gateway.
Choose 10Times for reach: a very large, global audience of event-goers discovering your show. Choose Bidancer to actually run it — verified exhibitors, allocated booths, sponsorship tiers, passes and QR check-in, revenue settling into your own gateway with no commission, and booth leads that continue as governed enquiries. Most organisers will sensibly use both.
About 10Times
10Times is one of the world's largest event discovery and networking platforms, carrying event listings across well over a hundred countries with a large monthly audience and tens of thousands of registered organisers. Its strength is being found: attendees discover shows, follow organisers and arrange meetings in advance. For organisers it monetises through promotion and traffic, visitor management and analytics products. It is where a show gets discovered rather than where a show is run.

Why Bidancer
Discovery is one problem; running the floor is another. Bidancer covers the operational half — floor plan and booth allocation, exhibitor onboarding, sponsorship tiers, passes, QR check-in and booth lead capture.
Registration and booth payments settle into the organiser's own payment gateway. Bidancer takes no commission on ticket or booth revenue.
Exhibitors complete KYC before they take a booth, so the floor is made of verified businesses rather than whoever paid first.
Every show gets a microsite on its own subdomain, and exhibitors carry the same verified identity they use for enquiries, catalogs and tenders — so a lead captured at a booth continues in the same venue.

Questions, answered
No. Bidancer is not a global event directory and does not try to be. It is the platform you run the show on; discovery listings elsewhere remain useful and are not in conflict.
Into your own payment gateway. Bidancer does not sit in the money flow and takes no commission on ticket or booth sales.
Yes. Each show gets its own microsite on a subdomain, with your branding, the floor plan, exhibitor directory and registration flow.
Most organisers should. List on the discovery platforms for reach, and run the operational side — booths, exhibitors, sponsors, passes, check-in — on Bidancer.
