Market Challenges

• Open-source virtual events pose a significant challenge to the commercial virtual events market. Micro and small-scale enterprises and individual users prefer these freely available solutions due to their cost-effectiveness. Basic features of proprietary virtual events are replicated in most open-source alternatives. This trend is hindering the growth of the global virtual events market, particularly for small-scale events. Open-source software’s accessibility across all platforms further intensifies the competition.
