As an online learning center owner, finding the right virtual event platform is integral to not only building a community of engaged learners but also creating an environment where learners can grow through application and practice. And for me, this is where Remo shines.

In my brief experience so far, Remo has been able to seamlessly handle a fairly large number of participants (more than one hundred) without any hiccups. All the features that are advertised have worked without any glitches or bugs which is certainly a plus.

While Remo does seem to lack a dedicated mobile app at the moment, and certain features do require hosts to dig through menus to access them, the Remo team has assured me that they were either planning to address the issues I pointed out in the next upcoming release or that my suggestions had already been considered and added to their roadmap. Recent new features that have been added had also been also the result of taking in their users’ feedback to improve their product which shows me that they do value our feedback and listen to their customers.

In my opinion, what will truly set Remo apart for most is probably going to be the overall event experience from the attendees’ standpoint which combines a unique physical floor map with interactive iframe widgets and popups that can be interacted with as well as a traditional webinar style of room that hosts can bring everybody into at any time. To a certain extent, you can think of the event floor as a kind of breakout rooms feature on steroids that naturally makes mingling among attendees and groups more intuitive and fun. It really encourages people to interact with each other while still giving hosts the tools they need to control (and restrict) the experience and step in whenever they want.

That said, while Remo already does feel like a mature web app, it still has a ton of potential and room to grow with us as we contribute our own feedback. To that end, the developers are actively seeking our suggestions to help improve the app further and better adapt it to the needs of smaller businesses, making me excited for what's to come.

A small heads-up for AppSumo users: there are per-ticket fees if you plan to charge for your events, and certain customization and whitelabeling features, being under active development, are still rough around the edges and will require a bit more patience before they get to where they need to be. Don’t let that dissuade you though as even for what it is right now, it's a solid product.

In short, Remo is a great product with a solid team that is only going to get better with time. If you are looking for a virtual event solution and still on the fence about it, just give it a try, and see for yourself--it's a really polished product, but you might just have to try it (as an attendee and host) to realize its potential. I only wish we could get higher tiers to secure higher limits—you know, just in case😁.
