Cisco To Acquire Socio Labs The amount of the deal was not disclosed. With the acquisition, Cisco will enhance Webex Events beyond meetings, webinars and webcasts to also include large-scale, multi-session hybrid events and conferences. The solution will enable live streaming, sponsorship, networking and advanced analytics, along with continuous engagement before, during and after events – as well as Webex features like polling, Q&A, chat and real-time translation. The deal complements Cisco’s recent acquisition of Slido, an audience engagement tool, which together will create an event management solution that spans event capabilities — all through a single portal: Webex’s virtual meeting innovations like background noise removal and speech enhancement, gesture recognition, immersive share, real-time translation, customized stage layouts and more;
