Airmeet

Overview

Airmeet is a virtual and hybrid events platform that enables organizations to host webinars, conferences, workshops, and networking sessions online. The platform goes beyond simple video streaming by providing interactive features like virtual networking lounges, breakout rooms, expo booths, Q&A sessions, and real-time polls. When Airmeet's scripts are embedded on a website, they typically power event registration pages, livestream player interfaces, and attendee engagement features.

For website operators hosting virtual events, Airmeet's scripts represent the event infrastructure itself. Attendees interact with these scripts intentionally — they have registered for an event and are actively participating. The data collected serves the event experience: registration details, session attendance, networking interactions, and engagement metrics that help organizers understand event effectiveness.

What This Script Does

Airmeet's embedded scripts handle the full virtual event lifecycle on the host website:

• Event Registration Forms: Renders registration interfaces that collect attendee information — name, email, company, job title, and custom fields defined by the event organizer. This data creates the attendee's event profile and determines session access.
• Livestream Player: Loads the video streaming interface for live sessions, including speaker video feeds, screen sharing, and presentation slides. The player manages stream quality adaptation, buffering, and failover for reliable viewing.
• Interactive Features: Powers real-time engagement tools including Q&A panels, live polls, chat, reactions, and hand-raise functionality that attendees use during sessions. These features require WebSocket connections for real-time communication.
• Networking and Expo: Manages virtual networking lounges where attendees can be matched for one-on-one video conversations, and expo booth interfaces where sponsors showcase their offerings. These features track attendee movement between virtual spaces.
• Session Access Control: Enforces registration-based access restrictions, ensuring only registered attendees can join sessions. This includes managing authentication tokens and session state throughout the event.
• Engagement Analytics: Collects data on attendee behavior during the event — session attendance duration, questions asked, polls answered, booths visited, and networking connections made — for post-event reporting to organizers and sponsors.

Consent & Compliance

Airmeet's data processing is rooted in the event registration relationship. When an attendee registers for an event, they enter into an arrangement where their participation data will be collected as part of the event experience. Under GDPR, this processing can be justified under Article 6(1)(b) (contractual necessity for delivering the event service) or Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest of the organizer in running the event effectively).

The engagement analytics and sponsor-related data sharing introduce additional considerations. Event organizers often share attendee engagement data with sponsors — which booths were visited, which sessions were attended, and which materials were downloaded. This data sharing should be clearly disclosed during registration, and depending on the jurisdiction, may require explicit consent.

Cookies used for maintaining the attendee's authenticated session and tracking their position within the virtual event environment are functionally necessary for the service the attendee has requested. However, any cookies used for post-event retargeting or marketing follow-up would require separate consent.

Event organizers should ensure their registration forms include clear privacy disclosures about data sharing with sponsors and co-organizers, and that attendees understand how their engagement data will be used after the event concludes.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Airmeet's core scripts deliver the virtual event experience that attendees have registered for. The registration, streaming, and interactive features are functional components of the event service. However, engagement analytics shared with sponsors and post-event marketing uses of attendee data may extend beyond the immediate event delivery purpose.
