#VirtualWEM20: Setting Up and Using HopIn, the Virtual Event Platform
You’ve purchased your #VirtualWEM20 ticket, mapped out your day and prepped your home office (with tonnes of snacks, obviously) for a weekend of extreme content.
But what next?
We’ve created this blog to answer that very question – from setting up your Hopin profile to navigating the platform. Read (or watch!) on for all the information you need…
What is Hopin?
We’ve invested in a virtual event platform called ‘Hopin’ to host the event. Hopin brings all the best bits of an ‘in-person’ event to your screen – from multiple stages to networking and exhibitor booths, meaning you get an incredible conference-style experience from the comfort of your own home!
Purchasing your ticket
If you haven’t secured your space yet, you can purchase your ticket for #VirtualWEM20 by clicking HERE. A ticket will cost you £100, giving you access to the platform for the conference weekend, plus access to the full library of talks for 12 months after the conference closes.
How to set up your Hopin profile
Once you’ve purchased your tickets, you’ll need to create a Hopin profile to allow you to access the online event. We’ve created a short video with step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

Step 3: Simply hit the ‘Checkout’ button – and you’ll be invited to Sign Up to Hopin. Enter your details and click ‘Sign Up’.
And that’s it! You’re all signed up and ready to go. We’d recommend watching the video for a brief tour of the virtual environment and check out our ‘Housekeeping’ blog for some top tips to ensure you get the most out of #VirtualWEM20.
