Shindig

Designed for anyone who plans online events, in media, higher ed, business, or special events like galas and fundraisers, Shindig goes beyond standard virtual event platforms. Of course it offers customary functionality like screen sharing, support for multiple sessions, recording, and data collection. But it also provides networking capabilities for participants that feel more like real life. Guests aren't locked into a boxy grid, but rather are free to move around within the fully customizable event background, mingling with others one on one or in small groups using video chat. Presenters can mingle with guests as well, whether that's a salesperson answering a specific prospect question or a college professor provide one-to-one instruction to a student. Unlike most other platforms, Shindig also supports very large events (1,000+ attendees); provides a virtual green room for screening guests before bringing them on stage; and offers live stream integration with Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
