Johnny Boufarhat Made it easy for Virtual Events With Hopin

Johnny Boufarhat is the Founder and CEO of Hopin, an online events platform that is one of the world’s fastest-growing enterprises. On one simple platform, it offers virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. Hopin was designed to make planning, producing, and enjoying event experiences easier than ever before.

Jhonny attended the Dubai American Academy for his early education. He continued his studies in the United Kingdom at the University of Manchester, where he studied mechanical engineering. Johnny Boufarhat was compelled to sequester himself indoors in 2015 due to an uncommon allergic response. Hopin, an online events platform that allows meeting participants to network online in creative ways, swap virtual business cards, and get a summary of their relationships after an event, was born out of his frustration and need for human touch.

Hopin is unique in that it allows users to have meaningful online conversations and network, much like they would at an in-person event. They choose to emphasise on interaction over content because they want consumers to participate in the experience rather than just watch it. Hopin was ready to capitalise on the need for dependable online meeting places when the coronavirus epidemic forced enterprises throughout the world to migrate to hybrid or fully-remote operations, propelling its enormous and quick development. Hopin had six workers before the pandemic; in order to expedite the platform’s launch and continue its rapid growth, that number swiftly rose to over 800. Hopin is currently worth $7.8 billion, while Boufarhat, 27, is one of the world’s youngest self-made billionaires, with a net worth of $3.2 billion. His company has achieved success in an unusual way: it operates entirely remotely, with no physical office or street address
