Adapting your events in response to this current situation with COVID-19

18 March 2020

 

Given the current status of COVID-19, most organisations are proceeding with caution and postponing or cancelling their live events. And rightly so. Based on the information provided by government and health authorities, and what we have all witnessed around the globe, we have no choice.

There are other ways to communicate with your teams and stakeholders. You may not need to cancel your upcoming events but rather adapt the style of event you are planning. All without mass gatherings.

Have you considered Live Streaming your event?

LIVE STREAMING aka WEBCASTING aka VIRTUAL EVENTS involves video and/or audio coverage of a live event that is transmitted over the internet. The event can be broadcast live, and/or can be recorded and pushed out on-demand. These events can be produced with a live audience or without.

We have experience broadcasting these event types
  • Conference speakers and concurrent sessions
  • Expert panels and Q&A sessions
  • Annual General Meetings and other Shareholder meetings
  • Educational and online teaching
