To host virtual events that stand out from the crowd, you need a customizable platform supported by a team that works with you to bring your event vision to life. Working with BigMarker, you have the ability to build a customizable 2D or 3D lobby, so your event is one-of-a-kind, rather than a carbon copy of other events on other platforms. Then, BigMarker empowers you to mix-and-match 15+ event features, including Agendas, Expo Halls, Matchmaking, Speed Networking, Breakouts, Leaderboards, Prize Packs, Round Tables, Video Chat, Poster Sessions, Video Hubs, Chatbots, and more. ON24 specializes in a handful of virtual event features and helps users create virtual event solutions for a narrower range of uses.

“BigMarker is a fantastic and feature-rich solution with many unique features. Its features have been well-thought in implementation. The team is responsive and reachable too. It is super easy to setup workshops and events.” - Verified G2 Review

The days of only serving an in-person audience are over. If hosting events remotely for two years has taught us anything, it's that we can reach audiences ten times larger by providing a virtual option. Sure, attending virtually will never replace the magic of attending in person, but it will make our events more inclusive and accessible. So BigMarker's approach to Hybrid Events doesn't seek to create the same experience for in-person and at-home attendees...but rather a positive experience for both audiences. For at-home attendees, we provide our category-leading virtual platform, powered by our live streaming studio, so people can access sessions from anywhere and participate in Q&A. And for in-person attendees, our event companion app serves as each attendee's guide to your event's experience, and our badge printing and scanning solutions get attendees checked-in, keep them safe, and empower you to have visibility into the attendee journey.

“I was looking for a simple, easy-to-use virtual event platform, and I found BigMarker. I like the way it is so easy to use, and how it has many features to customize the way it works for our events. It is also reliable service, and it has constant updates that ensure it stays at the top of its game.” - Verified G2 Review

On-Demand Video Experiences empower your audience to engage with your content on their time, at their convenience. Using BigMarker's On-Demand Video Player and Media Hub solutions, you can create personalized, on-brand video experiences that drive engagement, activate your audience through embedded calls to action, generate rich data about each prospect, and sync data to your CRM and/or marketing automation system. ON24 offers a similar set of capabilities, but with fewer video player customization options.

“BigMarker is a professional and must-have application for anyone who is serious about reaching out to their customers using video. You don't need any additional software add-ons, unlike other video software platforms, all you need is BigMarker.” - Verified G2 Review

Automated or "Simulive" webinars enable you to combine the interactivity of a live webinar with the convenience and and always-on accessibility of an on-demand webinar. By pre-recording your webinar and programming polls, offers, and other interactive elements on a timeline to cue automatically at just the right time, you can create a simulated live experience that feels like it's happening the precise moment a prospect is engaging with it, regardless of what day or time they are attending. BigMarker and ON24 both offer robust simulive capabilities, empowering you to add dynamic, interactive video experiences to your marketing automation strategy.

This approach empowers you to generate a steady stream of meaningful data from prospects, and push it to your CRM automatically, to progressively build contact profiles over time. “The fact that BigMarker has marketing automation features built in makes it a great marketing tool, since this eliminates the need for multiple platforms. It's also easy to use which is always a plus. I like the ability to add slides and calls to action in the middle of a webinar--they're still one of the only platforms that do it.” - Verified G2 Review
