Hopin — now RingCentral Events — is built for multi-track virtual and hybrid conferences: stages, sessions, expo halls, networking. Showrunner isn’t a conference platform; it’s an AI production studio for the single flagship show you want people to actually watch.
| Showrunner | Hopin (RingCentral Events) | |
|---|---|---|
| Best at | One produced, must-watch show | Multi-session conferences + expo + networking |
| Live production | AI producer + Mo direct the broadcast | Run-of-show by an organizer/AV crew |
| On-stage AI | Live quote cards, charts, lower-thirds | None |
| Auto vertical clips + content | Yes, automatically | Session recordings |
| Access & pricing | Free / self-serve | Event-platform contracts |
| Conferences, expo, networking | Not our focus | Full event platform at scale (their strength) |
For multi-track virtual or hybrid conferences — expo booths, networking lounges, dozens of sessions — RingCentral Events (Hopin) is purpose-built and proven at that scale and breadth. If you’re running a conference, that’s the tool. We’re for the single produced show, not the whole event.
Produce your flagship show, not a conference
