Company Overview

Hopin represents one of the most explosive growth stories in the history of software. Founded in 2019 in London, the platform was perfectly positioned to capture the massive shift to virtual events during the global pandemic. While initially known as a video streaming venue, Hopin rapidly evolved into a comprehensive, end-to-end event management platform, heavily investing in a massively powerful registration and ticketing engine.

Hopin’s registration platform is uniquely engineered to handle ‘Hybrid’ complexity. When an organizer builds an event, they can simultaneously sell high-priced physical tickets (for in-person attendees in a ballroom) and lower-priced virtual tickets (for attendees watching from home). The platform manages this massive logistical split flawlessly from a single unified dashboard.

Following massive acquisitions (including Boomset for on-site hardware and StreamYard for broadcast video), Hopin’s registration engine acts as the highly secure front door to a massive event ecosystem, processing millions of dollars in ticketing revenue for the world’s most innovative tech companies and global summits.

Core Technologies

🔀

Unified Hybrid Ticketing

The ability to manage virtual and in-person audiences from a single registration flow. The system instantly knows which ‘venue’ (the physical building or the digital streaming platform) an attendee is allowed to access based on the specific ticket tier they purchased.

⚡

Magic Link Authentication

To prevent virtual attendees from getting lost in a mess of passwords, the registration system automatically generates and emails highly secure, single-click ‘Magic Links.’ When an attendee clicks it, they are instantly authenticated and logged into the virtual event stage.

🎨

Canvas Web Builder

A highly modern, block-based website builder that allows marketing teams to create breathtaking, highly converted event landing pages and registration forms without writing a single line of HTML or CSS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Hopin strictly for an in-person event, without virtual streaming?

Yes. Following their acquisition of Boomset, Hopin has built a highly robust suite for purely in-person events. You can use their registration engine, check-in apps, and badge printing software even if you aren’t broadcasting any video online.

How does Hopin prevent people from sharing virtual tickets?

The registration system issues unique, encrypted ‘Magic Links’ to each buyer. If a user tries to forward their link to a friend, the system detects multiple IP addresses attempting to use the same token and will instantly block the duplicate entry.

Does Hopin integrate with marketing software like HubSpot?

Yes, heavily. Hopin’s registration engine features deep API integrations with major CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo). When an attendee registers, their data and engagement metrics are instantly synced to the organizer’s marketing funnel.
