The hybrid challenge

Most hybrid events fail the virtual audience

When virtual attendees are treated as passive spectators watching someone else's conference, they disengage. run.events solves this by giving both audiences the same tools — interaction, networking, and content access — in one unified platform.

Professional streaming

Broadcast-quality video delivery over CDN with adaptive bitrate, low-latency streaming for real-time Q&A, multi-track support for parallel sessions, and automatic on-demand recording.

Audience parity

In-person and virtual attendees interact through the same Q&A, polls, and chat — displayed on-screen in the room and streamed online simultaneously. No one is a second-class participant.

Unified analytics

One dashboard for both audiences. Session attendance, engagement scores, sponsor interactions, and networking activity — measured consistently whether someone was in the room or watching from home.

Live & on-demand

Stream every session. Record everything.

run.events integrates professional streaming directly into your event workflow. No third-party embeds, no fragmented data — just high-quality video that reaches your audience wherever they are.

Multi-track streaming

Run multiple parallel sessions with attendees choosing their own path — just like the physical event

Adaptive quality

CDN-delivered video with adaptive bitrate ensures smooth playback on any connection speed worldwide

Low-latency delivery

Under 5 seconds of delay makes real-time Q&A and live polls viable for remote audiences

Automatic on-demand library

Every session is recorded and published to your on-demand library — extending your event's value from 2 days to 12 months

RTMP & multi-destination

Simultaneously publish to your event website, YouTube Live, LinkedIn Live, or any RTMP destination

Virtual stage

Branded broadcast view with speaker spotlighting, lower-thirds, session info overlays, and live poll results on screen

Tiered access

In-person, virtual, and hybrid ticket types with different content permissions — gate premium sessions to specific tiers

Accessibility

Live captioning, multi-language support, and accessible player controls ensure every attendee can participate fully

On-demand replay

Attendees who missed a session can watch the recording immediately — with chapter markers and session metadata intact

Audience engagement

Keep virtual attendees as engaged as the front row

Virtual attendees have zero social pressure to stay. Without active engagement, they close the tab in 15 minutes. run.events builds interaction into every session — keeping both audiences connected.

Live Q&A

Questions from in-room and virtual audiences flow into the same moderated queue — speakers see one unified feed, displayed on stage and in the stream

Real-time polls

Launch polls during sessions with instant results displayed on-screen and in the stream. Both audiences vote together.

Session chat

Session-level and event-wide chat with emoji reactions, question upvoting, and speaker mentions — creating a shared conversation layer

Session feedback

Post-session micro-surveys capture immediate quality ratings and comments from both audiences while the experience is fresh

Mobile + web

Virtual attendees participate through the browser. In-person attendees use the mobile app. Same features, same data, same experience.

Smart notifications

Session reminders, speaker alerts, live Q&A prompts, and networking nudges keep virtual attendees active throughout the day

AI matchmaking

AI analyzes every attendee — in-person and virtual — and surfaces the highest-value connections based on role, industry, interests, and goals

1:1 video meetings

Schedule and join video meetings between any combination of on-site and remote attendees — with calendar integration and timezone awareness

Meeting scheduler

Both audiences browse attendee profiles and request meetings through the same scheduling interface — no separate tools needed

Virtual sponsor booths

Sponsors reach both audiences: physical booth for in-person visitors, virtual booth with documents, videos, and live chat for remote attendees

Cross-audience networking

Networking that doesn't end at the venue door

58% of conference attendees say networking is their primary motivation. When your virtual attendees can't network, they lose the most valuable part of the event. run.events makes networking available to everyone — powered by AI.
