The shift to hybrid and online events
As the world becomes digital, global organisations need to rethink their workplace culture and communications strategies – not only to broaden their reach, but to be more inclusive of their remote and hybrid workers.
80%
of workers would like to work from home at least one day a week1.
70%
of executives believe colleagues and customers will become more globally dispersed1.
30%
of surveyed colleagues said they would travel for external conferences, and even fewer, 29%, for internal events or kick-offs1.
Online and hybrid events play a key role in reshaping those strategies. Whether it’s an internal all-hands call or an external event, it’s increasingly important for organisations to be able to run effective virtual events. However, many organisations lack the technical expertise required to deliver large-scale engaging and hitch-free events.
Participants find it difficult to engage when attending online events:
72%
can’t tell who is speaking.
70%
found it difficult to be part of the conversation.
63%
said they felt disengaged2.
Introducing our Virtual Events managed service
Our Virtual Events service allows you to run seamless and effective online events, using Microsoft Teams Live Event, Zoom Webinar or Webex Webinar. You’ll no longer need to worry about the technical challenges of coordinating and livestreaming digital events. Our producers and operations teams will take care of the details behind the scenes, so you can focus on what matters the most – the message.
How will we support your online events?
We follow a simple process to help you deliver the best online events experience:
Planning
We’ll work with you to understand your requirements and schedule the event on your behalf.
Rehearsal
A rehearsal will take place to test the technology, fine-tune the agenda, and share our expertise with the presenters – ensuring everyone is prepared for the event.
47% of organisations have yet to formulate flexible working policies.
During the event
Our producers kick off and wrap up the event. They also provide extensive support throughout – such as managing Q&A sections or live polling. We’ll sort any minor issues, and event changes can be managed with a private chat feature.
Post-event wrap-up
We’ll produce post-event reports with meaningful insights, so you can learn what works for your people.
