Host virtual events from one unified platform — not an assembled one

Cvent just acquired ON24 and Goldcast. Why wait to see how it shakes out? Zoom delivers professional virtual events at lower cost, higher scale, and on a familiar platform everyone already trusts.

Why teams switch to Zoom.

Scale audiences without asking permission

ON24 caps you at 5,000 attendees. Need more? Submit a request. Wait for approval. Hope for the best. Zoom does 100,000. No approvals. No waiting. Just go.

Prove it's working

Engagement scores. Attendee profiles. Cross-event trends. Finally, numbers that actually mean something to leadership.

One event, endless content

Recordings turn into blog posts, social clips, emails. Pick the format. Pick the tone. AI makes it easy.

Zero learning curve

Your audience already knows Zoom. Your speakers already know Zoom. Skip the training. Skip the tech support. Just run your event.

Look like a pro without hiring one
Acquisitions are messy. Your events shouldn't be.

Acquisitions are messy.
Your events shouldn't be.

Cvent is integrating three different platforms built by three different teams for three different customers. That takes time, and during that time:

  • Roadmaps shift. Features you were promised may get deprioritized.
  • Teams merge. The support rep who knew your account may not be there next quarter.
  • Pricing changes. Post-acquisition price increases are common.
  • Focus splits. Engineering resources go to integration work, not new features.

Zoom is one company, one platform, shipping features now. No acquisition uncertainty. No integration gambles.

Zoom pricing is half the cost of Goldcast and ON24

Goldcast and ON24 customers know the drill: base contract, plus add-ons for extra logins, plus add-ons for transcriptions, plus add-ons for features that should be standard.

Zoom's pricing is clear and transparent. One price. Unlimited webinars.

We'll help you get out.

Walking away mid-contract feels expensive. But waiting 12-24 months while your vendor figures out post-acquisition life? That's expensive too — just in different ways.

Zoom offers transition incentives to ease the financial overlap. We'll work with you to help offset remaining costs and make switching realistic, not just aspirational.

While they merge, you can move forward.
