3:52

When you’re an agency trusted by giants like Walmart, ExxonMobil, or AutoZone, to produce a virtual or hybrid summit, the margin for error when producing virtual or hybrid events doesn’t exist. A CEO keynote, national sales meeting, or global vendor summit isn’t just about audience engagement—it’s about delivering flawless execution at scale, with airtight security. One technical failure, one breach, and it’s not just the brand that suffers—your agency’s reputation is on the line.

And yet, many events still rely on standalone webinar platforms that sit outside the client's IT ecosystem. While they may “work,” they also introduce unnecessary risks—ones that can quietly escalate into major problems.

The Hidden Risk in Standalone Event Platforms

Platforms that operate outside the client’s firewall create a new entry point for threats. Their authentication systems rarely align with enterprise-grade single sign-on (SSO), opening the door to uninvited access and compliance issues. And when you're scaling to tens of thousands of attendees—as you do for events like the AutoZone Vendor Summit—platform reliability becomes a wildcard.

For your production team, that means juggling integrations, managing user access manually, and crossing your fingers on go-live day. It’s stress you don’t need, and risk your clients can’t afford.

A Smarter, Safer Playbook for Enterprise-Scale Events

There’s a better path—one that’s already inside your client’s digital ecosystem.

The most secure and scalable asset a large enterprise possesses is its own IT infrastructure, and for millions, that infrastructure is built around Microsoft 365 and Teams. The strategic shift is to stop seeing Teams as just a meeting tool and start seeing it as the engine for a world-class event platform. It's a secure, enterprise-ready platform already approved, integrated, and trusted by your client’s IT teams.

When you layer EventBuilder on top of it, you unlock a purpose-built solution that turns Teams into a full-scale virtual event platform—complete with advanced registration, live support, branded experiences, and rock-solid analytics.

EventBuilder is engineered to work with your client’s existing Microsoft 365 infrastructure—not around it.

Enterprise Security, Built-In

By leveraging a solution specifically designed to enhance Microsoft Teams, agencies can fundamentally de-risk their virtual event delivery. This approach inherits the native security of the client's Microsoft environment as its foundation, and with EventBuilder, you're adding enterprise-grade security at options at scale, including:

  • Two-factor authentication & domain-based access controls
  • Masked join links to prevent unauthorized access
  • Compliance with ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 standards
  • Native integration with enterprise SSO systems

This approach offers you and your clients the most secure, scalable option available.


Elevate Your Position from Producer to Strategic Operator

For top-tier agencies like LEO Events, this isn't just a technology decision—it's a positioning strategy. You’re not pitching another tool to your client. You’re helping them maximize a platform they already trust. You’re speaking the language of their CISO and CIO; simplifying the stack, reducing risk, and making yourself indispensable.

This signals more than technical savvy, it shows clients that your agency understands the enterprise landscape—and that you're the safest, smartest choice for their most mission-critical moments.
