Filo integrates Zoom to help marketers conduct awesome virtual events

Collaboration tool Filo announced earlier this week that it has partnered up with popular video app Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) to upgrade Filo’s virtual event functions. This means Filo has essentially joined Zoom’s ISV Partner Program, which allows third-party firms to use Zoom’s API and SDK.

On the martech side of things, Filo enables marketers to organize custom-branded virtual events and allows attendees to “jump in and out” of virtual conference rooms. With the official tie-up, users can apply Zoom’s functions for video conferences inside these events.

“Our mission is to help distributed teams collaborate better online,” said Filo CEO Matt Compton. “Our integration with Zoom ensures that we deliver the industry-leading video conferencing experience to our customers and allows us to develop virtual workspaces that foster unmatched opportunities for connection, collaboration, and creativity.”

Filo’s strength seems to lay in its collaborative platform. The firm’s primary function is to help teams work together as if they’re in an office, where members can hop in and out of each virtual room. The virtual event function is just one of the app’s use cases.

The American startup faces plenty of competition in the virtual event space, including from the likes of Hubilo with its registration functions, and unicorn Hopin, which offers end-to-end solutions for hosting live online events.
