Webex Events (Socio)

Webex Events (which was originally the highly popular, fiercely competitive startup "Socio" before being strategically acquired by the massive global networking titan Cisco) is a phenomenally robust, highly flexible end-to-end event management platform. Cisco acquired Socio specifically to bolt a world-class, highly engaging registration and mobile app frontend onto their massive, rock-solid Webex video broadcasting backend infrastructure, creating a massive hybrid event juggernaut. The core advantage of Webex Events is its "Frictionless Hybrid Architecture." It provides a stunningly beautiful, highly intuitive mobile app for in-person attendees (with networking, maps, and agendas) that is perfectly, natively synced with a highly robust web application for virtual attendees. A virtual attendee sitting in London can ask a question in the web app, and the in-person speaker in New York sees that question instantly on the stage monitor, creating a truly unified hybrid experience. Furthermore, because it is now backed by Cisco, it offers absolute, unshakeable enterprise-grade security, scalability, and broadcasting reliability. It features highly robust onsite logistics, including rapid badge printing and check-in kiosks that reduce massive lines to seconds. For organizations that demand a beautiful, highly engaging frontend paired with the massive broadcasting reliability of Cisco Webex, it is a highly strategic choice.
