Virtual Meeting Technology: Finding The Right Solution For Your Brand
Anyone else feel like they just woke up from a wild and crazy dream in a new world they don’t quite yet know how to navigate? Yeah, us too. The uncertainty of these times, the community (both globally and locally) and the creativity surrounding us have lit a fire and we are determined to seize the day! After all, at the core of everything we do and who we are...we are AGILE. We got into this business for the rush, the adrenaline and the love of thinking on our feet. No one thing we have ever done has been the same, so why stop now?! As the events world screeches to a halt we will pivot. Don’t get me wrong, we LOVE live events. There is just nothing that replaces that energy you feel when walking into a live event. But the reality is, the show must go on. The question is, HOW?
Don’t fret! Bash Creative is here to help you dive into the world of digital and virtual events.
Want help? Let us know..we can assist every set of the way!
We took on this challenge and looked at all of the options in virtual event technology currently available today. Just as in the world of live events there is no one size fits all.
Searching for virtual event technology is like conducting site visits. Each option has it’s benefits and it’s pitfalls. Some are great visually while others promote more authentic networking and human connection. Some are easily scaled while others have fancy bells and whistles. Some, well you get it, they are not all alike. So how do you find the right fit for your event, company, brand, and mission?
Our advice is to start from the beginning. Even if this is an event that has been in progress to be live but now is shifting to virtual. You need to start at the beginning because you need to reevaluate what you are trying to accomplish. What is the problem you are trying to solve? Who are you hoping to engage? And what does success look like to you with this NEW event? You can do this process on your own with your key stakeholders or bring in a company like Bash Creative to help facilitate these very important decisions. From there the rest of your choices should be quite easy, as long as you are always coming back to these goals and staying the course.
Now you are ready to dive into the expansive world of virtual meetings! Here are our favorites in the following categories:
It’s important to remember, not everything is going to be a perfect fit. Just like deciding between venues, you need to weigh each option against your event requirements and goals. Through our research we have learned that many virtual event technology companies are ALMOST ready but not quite there. So, your biggest asset will be finding a planning and production partner who can help you navigate through these options and bring the right ones to the table for you.
