Formerly Hopin Events, RingCentral Events is designed to be immersive and personalised, enabling businesses to provide engaging experiences that take events to the next level. 

"The world of events has dramatically changed over the past few years, and businesses have an opportunity to approach events in new and inventive ways that deliver unprecedented levels of engagement,” said Kristen Koenig, Head of Channel and Business Partnerships, RingCentral Events. “With RingCentral Events, we’re giving customers an incredibly frictionless experience – with flexibility to host either a single or multi-track event, and advanced customisation options. Coming soon, RingCentral Events will include AI-infused capabilities to drive smarter event experiences for both organisers and attendees.”

• Trusted: Confidently run high-stakes events with a scalable solution that can easily scale to 100,000+ attendees.    

• AI-powered: Coming soon, new AI-based features aimed at simplifying and automating all aspects of events will free up time for organisers and elevate attendee experiences before, during, and after the event. Key capabilities will include:

  • Smart Content Generator: Craft infinitely creative copy with an AI Writer. Generate engaging content, from snappy titles and descriptions, to email templates and schedules, in seconds. 

  • Smart Q&A: AI will automatically categorise questions, making it easier for organisers to answer questions during an event in a more thematic manner and keep related questions together. 

  • Smart Clips: AI-powered Smart Editor automatically generates bite-sized social media video content to help simplify post-event marketing by repurposing event content.

• Attractively priced: Straight-forward pricing with a low barrier to entry offers affordable rates for premium events, with no surprise costs. 

“With a member base of 160,000 across 147 countries, it was imperative to identify a global events platform that would bring everyone together,” said Mackenzie Bryant, Senior Program Project Manager, Women Who Code. “I’ve now hosted over 15 events on RingCentral Events, and I love the variety of features and functionality the platform has to offer, especially the customisation capability. The live analytics and post-event data not only help us track our audience demographics and make sure our global geographies are represented, but also enable us to see where attendees are joining from so we can map out future events. Overall, RingCentral Events provides a holistic experience across the entire journey of planning and executing an event, with data-driven insights for the future.”
