HuddleXR

HuddleXR is a virtual event platform designed to host high-engagement online events for remote audiences, positioned as an enterprise-grade solution for organisations that want interactive digital experiences rather than one-way webinars. As companies and associations moved many events online, a common problem emerged: attendees watching streams passively tend to disengage, networking opportunities are limited, and sponsors struggle to achieve meaningful interaction. HuddleXR addresses this by providing immersive virtual environments that recreate aspects of physical events, such as lobbies, auditoriums, exhibition halls and networking lounges, alongside interactive tools that encourage participation. Its approach combines extended reality-inspired design with the reliability and security expected by large organisations, allowing event teams to deliver branded, memorable experiences for audiences who may be distributed across different locations and time zones. The emphasis is on sustained interaction rather than passive viewing.

Key features typically include customisable virtual venues and branding, livestreamed and pre-recorded sessions, breakout rooms, and interactive tools such as chat, polling, question and answer sessions and reactions. Networking features, including attendee directories, one-to-one video meetings and group lounges, help participants make connections, while virtual exhibition booths give sponsors and exhibitors spaces for product demonstrations, content downloads and lead capture. Gamification elements such as leaderboards, challenges and rewards encourage exploration and sustained engagement. Registration and ticketing, attendee management and analytics provide organisers with data on attendance, session popularity and interactions, which can be used to demonstrate return on investment to sponsors. The platform is cloud-based and accessible via web browsers, with production support available for larger events. Target customers include corporate event teams, associations, trade show organisers, educational institutions and marketing agencies running conferences, product launches, internal meetings and virtual trade shows. Pricing starts from around USD 3,400 with a free trial; there is no permanently free version.
