In 2012, WeConvene was born out of first hand experience and frustration with the manual workflows prevalent in the process of organizing capital markets events of any scale. Meetings between investors, corporates and the sell side happen everyday and WeConvene estimates that over 200 million meetings take place every year between these three sides of the capital markets. WeConvene is a global SaaS event management platform that caters for physical, virtual and hybrid events. The WeConvene platform is available to Corporates, investment banks, IR firms, brokers, independent research providers and professional investors/Asset managers. WeConvene workflow solutions enable its clients to create, manage, promote, execute, discover and analyze any kind of meeting interaction with other participant/attendee. Decades of survey data and commission flow data confirm that these meetings are the most valuable interaction for all capital markets participants. The problem before WeConvene was that all meetings were organized and executed using old technology or no technology at all – creating friction and inefficiency in the process. Due to changes in regulation, market structure and investment styles the economics of investor access have changed. The investor access market has been democratized and this has created the demand for a technology based replacement for the manual workflows that until now dominated these interactions. The WeConvene platform delivers an 'OpenTable' style booking experience to its clients and their clients. WeConvene is an open platform meaning there are zero barriers to engagement and anyone invited to an meeting can book themselves in without creating an account. WeConvene is partnered with Bloomberg, NASDAQ and Intrado. Each of its partners has a significant and dominant presence in their respective markets. As at June 2021, WeConvene has: a) 450 event hosts; b) 1,300 corporates directly and indirectly (via partners) using WeConvene; c) 150,000 professional investors in its ecosystem; and d) 3,000 investor events promoted each month. The company has a local presence in the USA, Australia, Hong Kong, UK and Philippines and is headquartered in New York City.
