In their own words
Shindig
Shindig is a platform for hosting online video chat events, combining stage presentations with private attendee conversations. Hosts can run conferences, enterprise marketing and workforce events, fan events, and education programs. Networking groups can include 2 to 12 people, who can move between conversations while still seeing and hearing the stage. Hosts may bring participants onto the stage, open a first-come-first-served podium, or spotlight selected attendees. For multi-session conferences, a central directory connects sessions, panels, suites, and booths; virtual expo booths are supported. Events can simulcast to Facebook Live, YouTube Live, and other social media, with HD recordings available afterward. Browser access uses customizable URLs and requires no download or account creation; attendee apps are available for iOS and Android. The Free plan is free, with a 40-minute event limit and 100 participants per event. Starter is $99 a month, with events up to three hours. Introductory is $750 a month; Advanced Plans have no listed price.
