Webex Events & Webinars vs. Fourwaves

Webex Events and Webinars are two powerful workflows in the Webex Suite, designed to help customers host in-person, virtual, and hybrid interactive experiences. Webex Events (formerly Socio) is an end-to-end event management platform powering immersive, intuitive, and inclusive virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. Raise the bar with event apps, flexible registration, check-in and badge printing, lead retrieval, and live streaming technology.

Fourwaves is conference management software for academic conferences: abstract submissions, peer review, registration, event website, program and conference app in one platform, built for researchers at universities, scientific societies and research networks. Organizers run symposia, research days, annual meetings and multi-track congresses on it, in person, hybrid or virtual, from the first call for abstracts to post-event certificates. Every module shares the same data, so nothing needs to be re-imported between a submission form, the review round, the program and the abstract booklet.
