Overview

CrowdComms is a privately held UK event-technology company founded in 2011. It provides an integrated platform and supporting services for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events, covering registration, branded event apps, agendas, audience engagement, analytics, and onsite badging.

The company serves organisations running conferences, meetings, exhibitions, and recurring event programmes. It is positioned in the professional and enterprise event-platform market, with pricing structured around per-event licences, annual packages, attendee numbers, integrations, and support requirements. Its international presence includes operations in Australia, the UK, and the United States.

History

CrowdComms was founded in 2011 by Peter Hair, Felix Stroud-Allen, and Deirdre Brannick. The company opened its first offices in Sydney and Dorset, UK, and launched its first event app in 2012. It later expanded its offering with onsite badging, broader event-technology services, and operations in the Americas, including an Atlanta office. During the pandemic it pivoted toward virtual and remote event delivery, after which growth accelerated.

Reputation

CrowdComms is presented by industry software directories and its own materials as a cloud-based platform for planning and delivering professional in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Its perceived strengths are breadth of functionality, customisation, integration support, and the ability to combine software with event-production services. Pricing is less transparent than self-serve tools because costs depend on event scale, features, integrations, and support; published guidance places small events around £1,000-£5,000, mid-sized conferences around £5,000-£20,000, and larger programmes at £20,000 or more annually. It is an active privately held company; public employee estimates vary, with LinkedIn listing 51-200 employees.
