EventMobi, an event management software provider, has acquired Run The World, a virtual events platform.
“We’re standing at the dawn of a new era for business conferences, events, and communities,” says Bob Vaez, founder/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.”
Founded in 2019, Run The World gained more than $15 million in investment throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Through its virtual event platform, Run The World connected millions across the globe, growing its diverse customer base–including the likes of Forbes, Meta, Amazon, United Nations Development Programme, and Harvard University– and hosting more than 50,000 virtual events.
“We couldn’t have anticipated the explosive interest Run The World would generate,” says Xiaoyin Qu, founder and CEO of Run The World. “We proudly hosted thousands of customers, fostering a sense of connection when the world needed it most. Now, as the world settles back to in-person events, we’re thrilled to join forces with EventMobi. We assure our community they are in the best hands and can expect even more powerful and seamless hybrid event solutions.”
Vaez says “EventMobi recognizes the enduring relevance of in-person events while acknowledging the undeniable impact and reach of virtual and online communities.”
“The future of events will blend in-person and virtual experiences to foster and engage communities. We are committed to enabling our customers to choose the best format to allow their attendees to learn, connect, and exchange ideas year-round,” says Vaez.
