- There are two main event types: interactive roundtables of up to 25 participants and live videocasts streamed to thousands of viewers. Events may be monetized through sponsorship or attendee fees.
- G2Events manages all technical and logistical aspects including registration, broadcasting the event, recording/archiving, and tracking/reporting analytics. Their services help clients develop educational programs and acquire attendees.
