"Intuitive platform for multi-faceted events"

4.5/5

What do you like best about RingCentral Events?

Our event included pre-recorded and live panels, a Careers Fair, and good interactivity through the networking function. We aimed to replicate, as best as possible, the experience from our physical festival, and we were certainly able to achieve this with the opportunities available on Hopin. Both the organiser and user experience are very intuitive. The Hopin support team is incredible - queries/issues are usually responded to within a very short time frame, and the advice given always resolves the situation. The analytics feature is fantastic, allowing you to see in real-time what is going on at the event, as well as analysing data post-event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about RingCentral Events?

It's less about disliking any features of Hopin, just more so some tweaks to the organiser experience. We would've liked analytics on emails sent through the platform, notifications for organisers when exhibitors/speakers have registered and a couple of other minor things which would've helped us during our event.

Recommendations to others considering RingCentral Events:

Be fastidious in your approach. Ensure your platform is as fleshed out as possible, whilst also giving as much information to your key stakeholders as possible - we did weekly newsletters with bitesized information, linking to the more fulsome guides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RingCentral Events solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hopin allowed us to run our festival in its 16th year, something we would not have been able to do physically this year. Our event provides invaluable experience for our committee, as well as providing opportunity to LGBTQ+ students across the UK. We have already seen attendees advance their career journeys, and have also received incredible feedback on the content we produced for the festival which was hosted on Hopin.
