Deliver complex online events with Virtual Event Hub

Updated over a week ago

The Virtual Event Hub is a dedicated and customisable landing page that can only be accessed with a valid digital ticket. It is perfect for online events that want to tailor the delivery of multiple webinar sessions or pre-recording content (such as online courses) to different groups of attendees.

Add links, presenter information, and any content you need to deliver an awesome virtual experience.

A Virtual Event Hub is not a standalone feature and is accessed via the digital ticket. You must create an event page first.
