The tech company Cisco, headquartered in California, is to buy Socio which facilitates events online or in-person. Socio was founded in 2016 in the US, supplemented by an office in Turkey, as an event management company but added a virtual platform as a result of the pandemic. Socio will be incorporated in Cisco’s own Webex platform. Cisco also recently acquired Slido, an event tech company offering polling and interactivity to the Webex event offer. Hybrid events are widely expected to become a permanent feature of the events market.
