First, we would like to acknowledge that we love the team at Zoom. They’ve built a great product to help businesses communicate online. But imagine the complexity in using the same tool to run an an event like a webinar or a conference online. You are here because you already know the pain and you want a Zoom alternative that will help you run large-scale online events at scale and measure the impact the event had on your bottom line.
