Easy Accessibility
Our client also wanted a “Career Fair” to exist in the same environment and easily accessible from the main conference page.
We engaged with a more robust event offering to meet our client’s event vision and goals. Upon entering the event site link, each participant created a personal profile populated with key bio information, including a personal photo, contact info, academic info, social media links, and more.
A Central Hub
The event homepage served as the central hub for the conference. In addition to live-streaming all general sessions, the main page provided an agenda of the two-day conference, navigation to the exhibitor center, real-time Q&A, audience polling, and a chat feature.
The event platform allowed audience members to connect with attendees, exhibitors, and speakers through their profiles.
Within the schedule, there was time set aside for networking connections. Attendees were able to seek each other out and connect in face-to-face conversations, real-time, or schedule a video meeting for a future time.
Post Event Support
Post-event, the conference site remains available for a year, allowing attendees continued access to information and contacts from the conference.
Slang Productions provided technical support by overseeing the general session live-stream.
Our creative support included scriptwriting, video production, event graphics, and PowerPoint design, to ensure consistent event branding. We also curated an evening social, adding a little fun to the conference, and facilitating further networking and engagement.
Best Online Event Ever
Slang also provided project management support in logistics, registration, pre-event communications, and more.
The result was extremely positive. The core team received comments from university leadership that it was the best online event they had attended, and attendance far exceeded their expectations.
