The dawn of a new era for business conferences

EventMobi, an industry-leading event management software provider with customers across the globe, announced today the acquisition of Run The World, a trailblazer in the virtual event space.

Founded in 2019, Run The World rapidly gained traction and over USD 15 million in investment as the world grappled with the global pandemic. Through its virtual event platform, Run The World connected millions across the globe, growing a diverse customer base – including the likes of Forbes, Meta, Amazon, United Nations Development Programme and Harvard University –– and hosting over 50,000 virtual events during a time when virtual connection was paramount.

“We’re standing at the dawn of a new era for business conferences, events and communities,” said Bob Vaez, Founder and CEO of EventMobi. “With the acquisition of Run The World, we’re doubling down on our ability to deliver diverse event formats, expand our reach, and solidify our position as industry leaders. We’re thrilled to welcome Run The World and immerse them in the full value of hybrid events.”
