HYBRID EVENTS
After such a turbulent year for the events industry, the need for a flexible event planning style has never been greater. Despite the boom of virtual-only conferences, the demand for attending events in-person and enjoying face-to-face contact and networking opportunities has not diminished. In fact, attendees are increasingly searching for conferences and events that give them both options, to allow them to tailor their attendance around their location, work commitments and specific CPD needs.
Combining in-person attendance with virtual streaming components requires a huge level of planning and skill to ensure that all attendees have the best possible experience and that neither component detracts from the other. High-level audio visual equipment and support, impeccable program design and planning and a skilled and versatile team of onsite support staff are all essential to support the smooth running of such an event.
At ICE Australia, we have worked with a wide range of clients on numerous different program styles, and are experienced at converting standard program layouts into engaging and accessible formats. We take a collaborative approach and work together with our planning committees to ascertain the key program requirements and desired takeaways, and then suggest sample session plans and delivery formats we think would work best within the given parameters and budget.
Our team are highly skilled in relation to the technical aspects of the online platforms, and are able to quickly troubleshoot, respond to delegate enquiries and help rectify any access or viewing issues during the event. We can build anything from single stream pre-loaded video sessions, to multiple concurrent sessions, running off a combination of live stream, pre-loaded and multi-speaker Q&A sessions. The possibilities are endless!
If you would like to discuss your upcoming event with one of our expert planning team, please email info@iceaustralia.com to arrange a complimentary consultation with one of our Event Directors and discuss how best we could support your conference or event.
