The Challenge

High-Stakes Diplomacy at Scale

When your speakers are CEOs, ministers, and global thought leaders, schedules change hourly. The agenda is never final. It's a living document that shifts with every confirmed or cancelled VIP.

  • 1

    Constant Agenda Changes

    High-level speakers confirm, cancel, and reschedule constantly. A session announced Monday might have a different speaker by Wednesday.

  • 2

    Rigorous Vetting Process

    Every delegate must be vetted before receiving an invitation. With 860+ applicants, this requires a robust CRM workflow, which is why J3D.AI managed this process via HubSpot.

  • 3

    Complex Session Dependencies

    Roundtables depend on specific speaker combinations. If one VIP moves, the entire track may need restructuring.

The Solution

A winning team of top professionals: J3D.AI managed delegate vetting through their HubSpot workflows. run.events powered speakers, agenda, and sessions. Together, we delivered an outstanding delegate experience through desktop and mobile web.

  • 1

    Expert Vetting via HubSpot

    J3D.AI managed delegate applications through HubSpot's multi-stage vetting workflow, while run.events handled speakers, agenda, and sessions.

What They Say

From the People Who Made It Happen

We had numerous agenda changes during the five days: speakers rescheduling, sessions moving, new roundtables added. In previous years, this would have been chaos. With run.events, we updated once and every delegate saw the change immediately on the website. No confusion, no printed errata sheets.
