What is EventMobi?
EventMobi is an industry-leading event management platform, headquartered in Toronto, Canada with 100+ employees across the world. Over the last 14 years, we’ve worked with 30,000+ event planners across the world to deliver successful conferences, AGMs, workshops, trainings, user conferences, and product launches.
As a bootstrapped company, our only loyalty is to the customers we serve. Our #1 goal is to make planning, promoting, monetizing, and delivering engaging events easier for event profs—whether the event is in-person, virtual, or hybrid.
Why did EventMobi acquire Run The World?
After more than a decade of providing award-winning software & service to in-person event planners, we pivoted into virtual event technology during the pandemic. These days, we believe the future of events includes hybrid, and we’re excited to create seamless, year-round event experiences with in-person and virtual technology.
Run The World built an incredibly impressive virtual event platform and community in a short period of time. Through this transition, our goal is to offer Run The World’s customers even more powerful virtual and hybrid event tools, with the opportunity to run in-person events all in one place.
What happens now that EventMobi has acquired Run The World?
Now that EventMobi has acquired Run The World, the Run The World team will maintain their platform for 30 days before discontinuing service. Please note that this transition means all Run The World accounts and contracts will be canceled.
What types of companies, organizations, and events does EventMobi work with?
EventMobi supports planners at a wide range of companies and organizations, but has a long history of success working with association, corporate, and higher education events.
We’re not a good fit for festivals, weddings, consumer events, or streaming parties.
