I see a lot of design and features here cribbed directly from my company, EventGeek.com. Why don’t you identify yourself online?

This got me googling a bit since I hate giving people my information that are not upfront with me about who they are.
Their trademark registration at http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4808:wpr... lists "(APPLICANT) ExhibitDay, Inc. CORPORATION DELAWARE 6701 Democracy Blvd., Suite 300 Bethesda MARYLAND 20852" as the address. I also found that address at several of these weird online company listing sites:
https://www.manta.com/c/mkxv6hz/exhibitday-inc http://ebusinesspages.com/ExhibitDay,-Inc._dziuo.co https://chevy-chase-md.opendi.us/E/93.html
That address seems to be a "virtual office" (aka paid fake address?) https://www.regus.ru/en-ru/virtual-office/united-states/mary... - definitely not signing up for that one.

A virtual office is basically coworking, except you have your own assigned space (you still share everything else like printers, meeting rooms, etc). They can accept mail at that address and probably go to work there, so it's not "fake" perse.

Is eventgeek target to the host of the event or the participants.
Because the value is in gathering attention from the attendees to your space at the event, correct?

I'm in no way affiliated to either site but this surely looks like an identical copy of EventGeek.com, showing similar text and images.
This looks like a problem that can be solved using Notion/Coda, I'm wondering if it really makes sense to build specialized software for such collaboration problems anymore.
If it was just tasking and collaboration, no. But event management does have its own needs, in particular because the event happens in real life, so while anyone can write a registration system for an event, having the data from it tied into a printing solution so people get their badges and lanyards is a specific need of that industry, as well as capacity management for each session. Likewise, making the vendors have a positive experience, so they keep coming back and buying booths at your event. Then there is planning a speaker schedule, coordinating where and when each speaker, breakout session and vendor will have their space, coordinating with caterers, hotels, marketing departments, and all the other people that go into putting on a conference.
In short, a complete package is welcomed in that industry. And some already exist, so if these guys want to throw their hat into the ring, it is a proven market.

Yes you’re right. Event are solving this by using a bunch of disjoint solutions (Asana, hgal, spreadsheets, etc.). ExhibitDay brings together trade show management and event team collaboration in one place (with workflows designed specifically for the processes of trade show teams)
Amazingly great content design. Clean, meaningful layouts.
I'm wondering how good the free plan would be for misuse to plan a vacation or attending a conference.

We're a small business of <50 employees that does 60+ trade shows per year. I feel the pain and am happy to see that you're tackling this.
We currently use Trello for task assignment, GCal for scheduling, Certify for T&E and Salesforce for lead tracking -- without a great way to measure ROI. I'd pay $100/mo for your enterprise plan if it integrated existing CRM and T&E systems.

Probably don’t need the trademark in the logo
