About Run The World

Run The World is a comprehensive platform designed for hosting virtual events, with a strong emphasis on fostering community interaction. TechCrunch has previously covered Run The World’s development.

Founded in 2019, the company secured funding from prominent investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund. Its growth accelerated significantly following the cancellation of in-person events due to COVID-19, as demand for direct, personal connections increased.

Currently, Run The World employs 45 individuals and has facilitated over 10,000 events, including several for TechCrunch itself.

During this Ask Me Anything session, Xiaoyin Qu and TechCrunch will explore the following key areas:

• How the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the trajectory of virtual event planning.
• The future of virtual events in a post-pandemic world, as in-person gatherings resume.
• Valuable insights gained from Xiaoyin’s experience in product management at Facebook and Instagram.
• The future direction and planned innovations for Run The World.
• A live question-and-answer session with the audience.
• Demonstration of one-on-one networking capabilities within the Run The World platform.

Who is this event for? Event planners, marketing professionals specializing in events, and event sponsors are encouraged to attend.
