Overview

Webex Events (formerly Socio, acquired by Cisco) is an event management platform that powers virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. When Webex Events' scripts appear on websites, they're embedding event registration forms, agenda browsers, and attendee engagement tools that enable visitors to sign up for and participate in events.

As part of Cisco's Webex ecosystem, the platform integrates with Webex's broader communication and collaboration infrastructure.

What This Script Does

Webex Events' scripts embed event management functionality:

  • Registration forms: Displays event registration interfaces collecting attendee information — name, email, company, job title, and custom qualification questions
  • Agenda and session scheduling: Renders event schedules allowing registrants to browse sessions and build personal agendas
  • Attendee engagement features: Embeds interactive elements like Q&A, polling, and networking tools for virtual or hybrid events
  • Check-in tools: Manages attendee check-in for in-person events through web-based interfaces
  • Session management: Sets cookies to maintain registration state and authenticated attendee sessions
  • Activity tracking: Records attendee engagement data — sessions attended, questions asked, polls answered — for event organizer reporting
