VIRTUAL EVENTS AND CONFERENCES: global participation on a budget Organizations are being tasked with reducing their travel budgets and carbon footprints, while increasing connectivity and retention among the workforce. The Immersive Workspaces solution is proving to be the most innovative and cost-effective response to this demand.
By bridging the physical distances between delegates and providing a virtual environment for group events and socialization, Immersive Workspaces™ enables you to make substantial savings in travel and associated costs. It provides a clear ROI while credibly committing your organization to a greener strategy and sustainable future. The all important socialization and networking opportunities for attending delegates are at the forefront of events delivered by Immersive Workspaces. The opportunity to engage with other delegates in a way that is almost as good as being there is key to the success of the virtual conference.
Immersive Workspaces – chosen by Intel as the most innovative, cost-effective option to execute their conference.
The Immersive Workspaces events team plans carefully to ensure that each conference delivers at least the same, if not more, content than would be available at a real event. This planning stage is critical to making sure the event runs smoothly. Strong participation engagement is strategically planned and executed with great care to avoid any possible obstacles to entry, and to ensure the 'wow' and 'fun' factor is made possible for all.
There is literally nothing you can do at a real event that cannot be replicated in the virtual world. New product demonstrations, launches, social networking sessions, keynotes and Q&A events are all possible using Immersive Workspaces technology. |
“We wanted a face-to-face conference. Immersive Workspaces gave us the ability to ‘meet’ our customers, face-to-computer…and the cost savings are immense.”
Elaine Cook, Intel Events Manager
GETTING THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS One of the great benefits of the virtual conference is the opportunity to enjoy pre- and post-event interaction. By taking it into the virtual world you have the chance to deliver conference content either side of the event. The virtual venue can be made available prior to the conference date, allowing delegates to meet up before the day if you feel that an ice-breaker event would be useful. Central training services are available to all delegates online and in-world as instructional videos and 'Quick Start' user manuals. However, training can be reduced to the bare minimum if there is not enough time to make people comfortable with the virtual space, as one of the Immersive Workspaces features allows delegates to log in and attend conference sessions with just a couple of mouse clicks.
Avatar interaction tends to level the playing field for delegates, giving people a new-found opportunity to be seen and heard. This often comes to light during Q&A sessions, with more reserved participants finding a voice and making themselves heard.
The great bonus after the event is that you have an online venue that is loaded with your conference content. Delegates can catch up with any of the keynotes they might have missed and those who were unable to attend can review the entire event – making it possible to reach a much wider audience for a fraction of the cost.
