Overview

Zoom Events is Zoom's event hosting product, building on the familiar Zoom Meetings experience with added features like registration, ticketing, and multi-session event support. However, Zoom Events is fundamentally a video-meeting platform with event features bolted on. HeySummit was designed from the ground up for virtual summits and multi-session events, with deep features for speaker management, custom landing pages, email campaigns, sponsor booths, affiliate programs, and attendee engagement that go far beyond what Zoom Events offers.

Zoom Events is ideal for:

Teams already using Zoom who want basic event hosting within the Zoom ecosystem

Why Choose HeySummit

1

Dedicated Event Platform vs Video Add-On

Zoom Events is essentially Zoom Meetings with event features added on. HeySummit is a dedicated event management platform — every feature is designed for running professional virtual summits and conferences.

2

Video Provider Freedom

HeySummit integrates with Zoom, YouTube Live, Vimeo, StreamYard, and more — you're not locked into a single video provider. Zoom Events requires Zoom for everything.

3

Complete Marketing Suite

HeySummit includes email campaigns, landing page builders, affiliate programs, and sponsor management. Zoom Events offers minimal marketing tools and no built-in monetisation beyond basic ticketing.

4

Speaker-Centric Experience

HeySummit gives speakers their own dashboard to manage bios, sessions, and track engagement. Zoom Events treats speakers the same as any other Zoom meeting participant.
