Why Teams Switch to EventHex
In-person and virtual in one platform
Hopin built its reputation on virtual events. EventHex handles the full spectrum — in-person with face-match check-in, virtual with streaming rooms, and hybrid with unified attendee tracking — without switching tools.
AI that works across the event lifecycle
EventHex's AI Copilot generates content and emails pre-event. AI Smart Connect runs intelligent networking matching. AI Photo Gallery auto-delivers face-matched event photos post-event. Hopin's AI tooling is more limited in scope.
WhatsApp-first attendee communication
For events in GCC, South Asia, and Africa, email open rates lag far behind WhatsApp. EventHex's native concierge delivers tickets, reminders, and live updates to attendees through the channels they actually use.
0% platform fee — keep your full revenue
Connect your own payment gateway and pay zero platform commission per ticket. EventHex's pricing doesn't penalise you for growth.
