History

[edit]

vFairs was established in 2016, initially focusing on virtual event solutions. The company expanded its offerings to support a broader range of event formats, including in-person and hybrid events, evolving into a comprehensive event management platform.[6][7] The company's growth was noted particularly as the demand for virtual event technologies increased significantly in the early 2020s.[8][9][10]

In 2021, the company introduced the Eventeer Awards, a recognition program for outstanding customer achievements in event execution.[11][12][13][14]

In 2022, vFairs launched user conference DiscoverNext, which has since become an annual event.[15][16]

In 2023 and 2024, vFairs was named a Customers' Choice in the Gartner Peer Insights "Voice of the Customer" for Event Technology Platforms.[17][18]

At the same year, the company recognized as a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant,[19] won Best Event App at the 12th Annual BizBash Awards,[20] named one of America's Best Startup Employers by Forbes.[21]

The company was included in Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for Event Technology Platforms" as a Visionary in 2023.[22]

Activities

[edit]
