Zoom has announced a new event management tool designed to help digital event organizers create sessions without the sacrifices that come with choosing a cheaper product, or without the unnecessary costs involved in searching for a more expensive product.
The videoconferencing company said its “one-size-fits-all” approach is no longer working as more customers become accustomed to online environments.
So the new Zoom Sessions offerings are designed to facilitate better branding, analytics, and interactions, thus increasing your return on investment.
