Hopin

Hopin is a cloud-based event platform that supports hosting virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. It provides an integrated environment with components such as a main stage, breakout sessions, expo or sponsor booths, and networking areas, allowing attendees to move through a virtual venue.

It was founded in 2019 by Johnny Boufarhat in London as a solution to replicate conference experiences online. The platform gained rapid adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic, expanding features to support virtual conferences, hybrid events, and in-person gatherings integrated with online components. The company has grown to serve organizations across sectors, from corporations to educational institutions.

Features include live and pre-recorded sessions, an expo hall for sponsors, networking with one-on-one or small group meetings, chat, Q&A, polls, and matchmaking tools. It supports ticketing, access control, and analytics to track attendance and engagement. It is accessible via web browsers and mobile apps, with options for custom branding and integrations with other tools.

Hopin operates in a competitive market for virtual and hybrid events platforms and has evolved to address needs across industries, from conferences to corporate meetings. It continues to offer hybrid event capabilities and enterprise solutions for larger organizations.

The platform functions as a software-as-a-service product with ongoing development and periodic product updates to add features and improve performance.
