Agence Webdiffusion

What Agence Webdiffusion does

PQM.net (operating under the name Agence Webdiffusion) is a Quebec-based webcasting agency founded in 1999 that provides end-to-end virtual, hybrid, and in-studio event production services. The company combines a dedicated project management team with in-house audiovisual production and a proprietary all-in-one webcasting platform called StudioCast, which is customizable to each client's brand image and supports live, pre-recorded, and on-demand formats including webinars and conferences. A 2025 product extension, StudioCast.Ai, adds AI-powered real-time translation to make webcasts accessible to multilingual audiences, and the platform includes registration reporting and CRM integration for audience analytics.

The business operates on a services-plus-platform hybrid model, with revenue derived from project-based webcasting engagements (planning, platform access, audiovisual production, technical support) delivered through an enterprise field sales motion and direct project management rather than self-serve SaaS. Pricing is opaque and contact-based, with no public tiers. The company maintains two physical offices — a headquarters with studio in Rimouski and a bureau/studio in Montreal — and serves enterprise and institutional customers primarily within Quebec, including National Bank, Hydro-Québec, Telus, Pharmascience, Metro, FMSQ, Université de Sherbrooke, the City of Gatineau, and Investissement Québec. In 2025, the company achieved ISO 27001 certification (BSI Group), signaling information security maturity for regulated enterprise buyers. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed leadership team in the source data.

Scale indicators1 record

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• ON24: ON24 is a leading enterprise webinar and virtual event platform used for live, on-demand, and personalized digital experiences. It is the most direct comparable to PQM.net's StudioCast in terms of target buyer (enterprise marketers and event organizers) and core use case (branded webcasts with registration, analytics, and CRM integration).
• Bizzabo: Bizzabo is an event experience platform focused on in-person, virtual, and hybrid events with registration, content, and analytics. It targets similar enterprise marketing and event teams and competes on end-to-end event orchestration.

Emerging players

• Pathable: Pathable is a community and event engagement platform with virtual and hybrid event capabilities, mobile apps, and networking features. It is comparable as a focused competitor in the association and conference event space where PQM.net also operates.
• Hubilo: Hubilo is a virtual and hybrid events platform with webinars, registration, networking, and AI-powered analytics. It is comparable as a mid-market alternative to PQM.net, often positioned against ON24 and Bizzabo.

Broad incumbents

• Cvent: Cvent is a large event management platform covering registration, on-site logistics, and virtual event production. Its Attendee Hub and virtual event modules overlap with StudioCast for corporate and association buyers running conferences and hybrid events.
• Zoom Events: Zoom Events is the event platform built on top of Zoom's video communications infrastructure, supporting multi-day virtual and hybrid events. It competes with StudioCast for the same enterprise and association event budgets but as a feature of a much broader UCaaS portfolio.
• Microsoft Teams Events: Microsoft Teams Events (including Teams Town Hall and webinars) bundles webcasting, registration, and production capabilities into the broader Microsoft 365 enterprise stack. It is a default option for many enterprise event organizers and competes on bundling rather than specialization.

Regional players

• Eventbrite: Eventbrite is a self-service event ticketing and registration platform with virtual event add-ons. It overlaps with PQM.net for event registration and ticketing workflows, but skews to smaller organizers and consumer events rather than enterprise webcasts.

Others

• Hopin (RingCentral Events): Hopin (now RingCentral Events) is an end-to-end virtual and hybrid event platform with registration, live streaming, networking, and analytics. It targets the same enterprise and community event buyers as PQM.net with a comparable all-in-one proposition.
• vMix: vMix is live video production and streaming software widely used by event producers for live mixing, switching, and webcasting. It is an adjacent technology to StudioCast for the AV production layer that PQM.net's in-house technicians deliver.
