Over the last 7 years, Hubb has grown from a scrappy little event tech start-up to an industry leading event management platform with hundreds of customers and 90 employees. We’ve evolved from an event content management tool, to a full all-in-one event management platform with solutions for sponsor/expo, meetings, staffing, registration, virtual events, mobile app and more. Many of you have been with us on this journey from the beginning.

Today marks a new phase in Hubb’s evolution. I am excited to announce that Hubb has been acquired by Intrado Digital Media. Hubb joining Intrado Digital Media brings together two leading platforms in the industry, to offer the world’s largest, most effective, and comprehensive event management and delivery platform.
