CrowdComms Wins Best Hybrid Event Platform at Event Tech Live
We’re absolutely buzzing to share that CrowdComms has won Best Hybrid Event Platform at the Event Technology Awards
This award is a genuine moment of pride for our whole team, not because we love a shiny trophy (ok, we do a bit), but because it reflects what hybrid events *should* be: connected, flexible, and designed around real people, not rigid tech.
So before anything else…
Thank you.
To our clients, partners, and the wider event community: thank you for trusting us to power your experiences. This win belongs to you as much as it does to us.
Why this event technology award matters
Hybrid has matured. It’s no longer a “backup plan” or a bolt-on stream. When it’s done well, hybrid expands reach, deepens engagement, and makes events *more inclusive by design*.
But doing hybrid well is hard.
Organisers are expected to deliver:
- an in-room experience that feels alive and human
- a virtual experience that feels equally valuable
- and a joined-up journey where the audience doesn’t feel split into “types of attendees”
That’s the gap CrowdComms exists to bridge.
We’re here to make hybrid feel effortless for organisers and audiences with one flexible platform that brings every moving part together.
What makes CrowdComms different
CrowdComms is the hybrid event platform that flexes around client needs.
Whether your audience is in the room, online, or both, we deliver branded experiences across every touchpoint.
Our integrated platform connects:
- Smart registration
- On-site check-in and badge printing
- Mobile event apps
- Virtual environments and live streaming
- Audience engagement & networking
- Community platforms and post-event content
- Analytics that track impact beyond the day
Instead of juggling multiple suppliers and stitched-together tools, organisers can run everything through a single ecosystem one connected experience, designed around your brand and your audience.
That means less technical overwhelm, fewer friction points, and more time focused on what matters: the humans at the heart of your event.
Hybrid that feels seamless for every attendee
Our mission has always been simple:
Bring every part of your event together so any audience, anywhere, can engage seamlessly on one powerful platform.
Whether attendees are on-site or joining remotely, they get a consistent, high-quality experience with interactive tools like:
- Q&A
- polling
- live chat
- feedback
- virtual exhibitor booths
- session libraries on-demand
Hybrid isn’t about replicating the same event twice.
It’s about creating a shared moment where participation and value are equal, no matter where someone is watching from.
Case study: RCEM, hybrid as a strategy, not a fallback
One of the projects we’re especially proud of and that we submitted with our awards entry is our work with the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM).
RCEM partnered with CrowdComms to deliver their Annual Scientific Conference as a hybrid event.
Their goals were clear:
- expand access for remote delegates
- maintain an equally high-quality experience online and in-person
- support CPD tracking across formats
- boost engagement and satisfaction
- build resilience into delivery
What we delivered?
A fully branded hybrid experience, which you can read about in the 2025 RCEM Case Study
Proud of the award, prouder of what it means
We’re humbled to be trusted by event professionals worldwide, and proud that 96% of our clients rate CrowdComms five stars.
That score tells us something important: When hybrid technology is built with simplicity *and* depth, it doesn’t get in the way. It unlocks possibility.
Winning Best Hybrid Event Platform is an honour but it’s also our fuel.
Because hybrid isn’t static. Audiences are changing. Expectations are rising. And events are becoming more about year-round community, not one-off moments.
We’ll keep building a platform that:
- adapts to your format
- reflects your brand
- respects every attendee’s time, location, and needs
- and helps you deliver results that last long after the closing keynote
Thank you (again)
To everyone who voted, supported, partnered, or trusted us with your events over the years, thank you.
This award is a celebration of what we’ve built together… and a reminder of what comes next.
