Descriptiontext

6Connex is a San Antonio, Texas-based provider of virtual and hybrid event software and services targeting enterprise customers. The company operates an integrated event platform that enables large organizations to host online events, conferences, webinars, town halls, and hybrid gatherings that combine in-person and remote attendee experiences. The platform provides attendee management, session hosting, networking features, and engagement tools designed for scalable enterprise deployments. Founded in 2011, 6Connex generates revenue through subscription-based licensing of its platform on a quote-based pricing model typical of enterprise event technology.

The company's product portfolio centers on the 6Connex Virtual Events Platform, augmented by the November 2021 acquisition of Eventory, a Poland-based event management platform. The Eventory acquisition expanded the company's product capabilities into event management workflows and established a European operational footprint in Warsaw. 6Connex is recognized among the top 10 virtual event platforms in 2024 industry comparison rankings, operating in a market valued at $12.6 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $83.8 billion by 2032 at a 21.2% CAGR. The primary customer segment is large enterprise organizations requiring integrated event technology; small and medium enterprises represent an emerging secondary market.

In January 2025, 6Connex was sold to an undisclosed Portland-based software company, marking a change of ownership. Prior to the sale, the company had raised approximately $1.63 million across three funding rounds between 2016 and 2018 from Lighter Capital and Montage Capital. 6Connex employs between 101 and 250 people across its San Antonio headquarters and Warsaw office, and has no documented AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or named customer logos in the available data.
