Zoom Events

Zoom Events is Zoom’s platform for virtual and hybrid events. It supports multi-day programs, simultaneous sessions, attendee registration, event lobbies, networking spaces, and virtual booths.

Organizers can run conferences, customer programs, partner summits, training events, and product launches. Attendees can join through supported desktop applications, mobile applications, or web browsers.

Zoom Events provides multi-session programming, event lobbies, session scheduling, registration, ticketing, attendee communications, networking, and sponsor booth functionality.

Hosts can use Zoom Meetings or Zoom Webinars for sessions. Engagement tools include event chat, polls, Q&A, session interaction, recordings, and post-event access.

The platform includes built-in integrations for Marketo, Pardot, Eloqua, HubSpot, and Salesforce. Partner integrations and marketplace applications can extend event workflows.

Zoom provides Events REST APIs for creating and managing events, sessions, schedules, tickets, registrations, and attendee-related data. API access requires qualifying Zoom account and Events licensing.

Zoom offers Zoom Events Unlimited and Zoom Events Pay Per Attendee licensing models. Zoom does not publish a standard dollar price for these plans on the public product pages reviewed.

The Unlimited model supports ongoing event programs with recurring billing and defined attendee capacity. The Pay Per Attendee model has no monthly commitment and charges according to unique attendee usage.

Zoom documents a $2.50 USD overage fee for each attendee exceeding prepaid Pay Per Attendee credits. A paid Zoom Meetings license is required for Pay Per Attendee hub owners.

No separate public free trial for Zoom Events was identified in the reviewed official pricing and support materials. Prospective customers are directed to contact sales.
