Overall Satisfaction with Webex Events (formerly Socio)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Webex Events to tame and centralize what would otherwise be very scattered workflows in my day-to-day. My team and I handle these really big travel expos and partnership summits quite often. These would be a nightmare without Webex Events. I can't even imagine managing these without it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Building complex agendas
It has very useful built in engagement tools
uniform branding in webinars

Cons

The sponsor and exhibitor portal is way too rigid. I struggle alot when trying to give the team creative freedom while planning events together

Return on Investment

we've seen the biggest Roi as we lean more into hosting hybrid events. The workload goes down by about a quarter
The analytics lets me spot opportunity spots then share it with stakeholders
