What G2events does

G2Events Inc is an end-to-end physical and virtual conference and trade show management services firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The company builds on over 30 years of operational experience derived from its sister physical event management firm, Hemisphere Expo Services, and is led by President and CEO Mark Barounos. G2Events serves enterprise corporations, associations, and event organizers that need to virtualize or hybridize conferences, tradeshows, private corporate events, board meetings, training sessions, and roundtables.

The company's core products span four areas: Hybrid Events (integrating remote participants into physical conferences through telepresence-enabled presenters and virtual skybox entertainment), Broadcasting Services under the Business-to-Broadcast (B2BC) model (transforming Telepresence/HD video rooms into broadcast studios that distribute to media outlets and secure enterprise IPTV networks), Online Events / Telepresence-Enabled Web Broadcasting (virtual environments that record, broadcast, and archive presentations), and Equipment Services (provisioning and supporting videoconferencing and desktop telepresence solutions via partners Masergy and Starleaf). Underlying technology is a multi-dimensional virtual environment architecture that leverages a claimed network of 750+ telepresence-enabled locations across 50 cities, including certified telepresence hotels such as JW Marriott properties in San Antonio and Phoenix.

G2Events operates as a bootstrapped professional services business with 1-10 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, and no public pricing. Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-driven model for each event engagement. The company sells and delivers services through direct enterprise sales engagements and through its global telepresence facility network. Named customers include GMDC, the Carbon Disclosure Project, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and a handful of named industry conferences, indicating a horizontal go-to-market across retail, nonprofit, healthcare, energy, IT infrastructure, and hospitality verticals.
