Events: demystified Podcast · 2026-05-22 · 51 min
Host Anca Platon Trifan interviews Mohammed Younas, founder and CEO of vFairs, on the Events Demystified Podcast (CEO Edition) about building reliable event technology under pressure. Younas explains vFairs as an end-to-end platform for in-person, hybrid, and virtual events, created after he built software to run his own events when a vendor charged $25,000 per event with poor support. He shares how a Fortune 500 early customer and word-of-mouth drove growth, and how COVID brought rapid scaling while refusing to compromise on quality, including refunding contracts when requirements couldn’t be met. Key themes include ownership, honesty, empathy for event planners, “hospitality” mindset, and “eating your own dog food.” He discusses customer-driven roadmaps, AI for support, setup acceleration, personalization, matchmaking, and agenda recommendations, and closes with staying fit through family, friends, and sport, plus connecting on LinkedIn.
