Hubilo experienced strong growth during the pandemic providing virtual event solutions. It has now expanded its products and acquired Fielddrive to become a leader in both virtual and on-site event technology. Hubilo conducted research finding that B2B marketers want solutions to improve lead generation and conversion from events. Its vision is to help marketers use events to accelerate their sales pipelines. Hubilo has a full suite of products that outperform competitors in capabilities like networking and engagement tools. It aims to focus on revenue-driven mid-market B2B companies in North America and has over $90 million to fund growth initiatives and strategic acquisitions.
3. Executive Summary
Hubilo experienced exponential growth throughout the
pandemic, successfully providing an event tech solution to
those who needed it most.
Hubilo’s accelerated experience in the industry and intentful
research has surfaced root challenges, specifically, ones B2B
marketers face. 3 years beyond the pivot to virtual events during
the height of the pandemic, Hubilo has moved onto tackling
greater blockers: turning engagement into ROI and the velocity
in which we convert leads. Unanimously, research respondents
and industry findings reveal a demand for a differentiated
solution.
In addition, Hubilo’s acquisition of fielddrive in late 2022
increases Hubilo’s presence in the on-site event technology
solutions space.
Our Hubilo products have evolved and are strategically set up
to be truly differentiated solutions within the event technology
space.

conducting 30+ interviews and tapping into our advisor network.
Advisors Interviews
“ There's nothing automated to learn about content. We need to use
surveys with low participation to get any indication for content. I
don’t know what attendees are doing in the event, like who is asking
a question - since that indicates high intent to me.
-Kim Collins, Sr. VP of Corp Marketing (Inovalon)
Zoom takes about an hour AFTER webinar concludes to fire off
attendance into Hubspot and then SF speed to lead is
miserable. SPEED TO LEAD IS IMPORTANT. However, the
switch will be considered only if we are seeing >1000 people
coming where we might need more sophistication.
-Kaylee Edmonson, Advisor (Chili Piper)
It’s still easier for us to put together virtual events for various
audiences. We’re taking leads we've generated and are starting to
engage them more with our brand to run them through marketing
funnel. On24 didn't integrate to our marketing integration system -
the Hubspot integration is very heavy”
-John Johansen, Dir of Demand Gen (Delinea)

What I liked best were the opportunities for
attendees, exhibitors, and speakers to
interact. There were so many options we
didn't use them all. I did not see the same
available options on other platforms.
