Introducing Capsule for Hopin: Event Engagement Made Easy

We've partnered with the live events platform Hopin to help organizers host unforgettable hybrid and virtual events. Learn how to drive engagement with video Q&A, networking, event marketing, and more.

Making your event experiences feel more IRL is kind of a no-brainer in 2022. In a Zoom-fatigued world, attendees need more than a slideshow and a talking head to stay tuned in. They want authenticity, connection, and real-life interaction.

For event organizers, this is tough. Attendee engagement is the #1 measure of an event’s success. But when so many interactions happen from behind a screen, keeping your audience's attention requires a bit more creativity.

Brands are solving this challenge with innovative event tools that prioritize engagement and ease above all else. There’s no better example of this than Hopin, the event tech platform known for its immersive virtual, hybrid, and in-person event experiences.

Hopin is the first all-in-one live online events platform, and the fastest-growing European startup of all time. And today, we’re excited to announce that Capsule and Hopin are partnering up to make virtual and hybrid events even more engaging with user-generated video.
