"Webex Events (classic)" has been replaced by "Webex Events". This transition was automatic, however Events that were scheduled before this change have not been, and cannot be, converted to the new platform.

There is currently a mix-up in the auto-generated emails that are created upon scheduling your Event. The Attendees are given the Panelist call-in password; be sure to remove this information from the email before forwarding it to anyone. The email states the correct password, but in the instructions that follow below, the hyperlinked phone number includes the Panelist password instead of the Event password. If a user calls this number, they will join as a Panelist with a live microphone without realizing it. Note: Clicking on this hyperlinked number while on a mobile phone will tell your phone to dial the whole number.

  • An Event can have up to 1,000 participants.
  • Webex Events is web-based so there is no need for a VPN and do not use a Remote Desktop Connection.
