Getting started as a Zoom Events Host

Zoom Events is a versatile platform that allows you to create a variety of engaging virtual experiences for attendees will love. You can manage your own branded event hub, track ticketing and registration, control user access from one dashboard, and allow networking during your Zoom Events.

Zoom Events Hosts can easily create and host multi-session conference events, whether internal or external events. This platform is useful for businesses, organizations, and enterprises—both large and small—to reach out and engage with their Attendees.
