GlobalMeet
ActiveOverview
GlobalMeet is a United States-based virtual event and webcasting company serving businesses, associations, and other organizations. Its core offering combines self-service webcast software with professionally managed audio, video, webinar, and hybrid-event production.
The company is notable for its continuity with PGi’s long-running conferencing and webcast operations and for supporting event audiences from roughly 500 to more than 100,000 participants. Its platform includes event registration and management, live and prerecorded content, audience engagement, branding, accessibility, analytics, and enterprise integrations.
History
GlobalMeet traces its heritage to PGi, a communications company that developed conferencing and webcasting services after its founding in 1999. In April 2023, Pivotal Group acquired selected PGi assets and launched GlobalMeet as an independent webcast-focused company. The new company concentrated on virtual and hybrid events, combining webcast software with managed event production. Its platform supports live, on-demand, and prerecorded audio and video events for audiences ranging from hundreds to more than 100,000 attendees.
