Black Hat is known for being a very rich content event. The other important thing was finding a platform that was strong around attendee engagement. And just like Black Hat face-to-face event, security was also a concern for us.

Senior Manager, Event Operations & Services at Informa TechBlack Hat is quite a demanding event. We really aim for excellence in everything that we're doing, so when we were looking for a virtual event platform we wanted to make sure that we had a partner that going to allow us to uphold our high and demanding challenges.

The Black Hat organizing team had challenges. We reassured them and delivered on our promises. Total security was high priority. We provided them with a reassuringly strong and secure platform.
Another challenge was running various different sessions concurrently. We ran the content-focused program without a hiccup and made it easy to use for attendees.
High networking and attendance rates were on the top of Black Hat's list. They had 16,000 active users, a high engagement and networking rate and feedback about an excellent user experience - a great success!
