As the meetings world moved to virtual, Zoom was quick to respond, providing an engaging and easy-to-use platform. But now other platforms have caught up and many of our clients have questions about which platform they should use and to what extent.
While creativity and visual impact can seem paramount to your virtual meeting, the most important thing in our experience is clarity. What matters most is ensuring your delegates can attend, navigate the event, and engage with the faculty and each other as easily as possible.
Organisations are going to great lengths to encourage as much engagement as possible. But just because that’s what the organisers want, it doesn’t mean it’s what delegates want! Here are five common reasons why your audience may not be engaging with your event.
Over the last year, as our clients developed new needs and found that they didn’t have the technical and logistical skills to manage virtual meetings, they turned to us as partners with extensive virtual experience to guide them through a radically different environment.
For months now we have heard talk about a return to the ‘new normal’ and expectations – or rather hopes – that physical meetings will soon be back on the agenda, perhaps through a ‘hybrid’ mix of in-person and virtual events.
What a year it has been! The world of travel, international and national conferences, medical education sessions and even team meetings was upended for everyone. We’re proud of all we have achieved at Open Audience, and we wanted to share what we have learned.
When the Covid-19 pandemic pushed all meetings into the virtual world, many organisations assumed the situation would be temporary. However, as case numbers continue to rise and countries go back into lockdowns, it’s clear that in-person meetings won’t be happening anytime soon.
We spoke to EventsBase about how we have transitioned to virtual events this year, and how we have taken a voyage of discovery through new technology solutions, creative processes, and remote working environments.
Covid-19 has thrown events of all kinds into uncertainty. What does the future of events look like? With promising vaccines on the horizon, it’s likely physical events will return at some point, alongside virtual and hybrid events. How can these events be made as engaging as possible?
Virtual engagements – or at the very least hybrid meetings – are here to stay. But strict duplications of live events are not necessarily effective – so what do you need to do to create an effective virtual engagement strategy?
