Virtual Meeting Options for When the Show Must Go On
If you’re seeing disruption in your in-person meetings, often times the show must go on. Organizations still need ways to communicate with their customers, prospects, key stakeholders, and members, even when face-to-face events are not an option. Virtual meetings are quickly becoming our new normal.
When the unexpected happens, we’re dedicated to helping our clients find alternate solutions to connect with important groups. Here are just some of the ways we’ve been working to leverage technology to harness the power of live events and online events and continue to deliver pertinent content with creative alternate meeting solutions.
VIRTUAL EVENT OPTIONS
Speaker Webcast
A great way for a speaker to intimately reach a virtual audience is to put together a webcast in order to share content live with a remote group. This gives groups an agile and cost-effective options to deliver insights without having to orchestrate a full event.
Here’s how we’ve done it:
- A producer from LAI Live (our event production company) oversees all production & AV logistics
- Our AV team sets up an intimate webcast in our LAI studio or at an office, with no audience, to deliver your desired content
- Live stream of speaker and talk is distributed for your remote audience – with the production value similar to watching him or her on stage in person!
To further enhance the webcasting experience, we also offer a graphic package and other add-ons that include a custom landing page, on-demand viewing, shareable PDF of the content discussed, and more.
Small Event Webcast
If you're looking to get both in-person audience engagement while also including attendees who can’t be there in person, a small event webcast is a solid option to host and deliver a “town-hall” event from a meeting venue. Think of this online meeting as a hybrid or “glocal” (global + local) meeting to allow more attendees into your live event experience without the need of travel.
Here’s how we’ve done it:
- A LAI Live producer helps with site selection for a smaller “town-hall” style meeting and oversees all production & AV logistics
- Our AV team sets up a small to medium venue (roughly 250 audience members) to accommodate both in-person attendees as well as a virtual stream.
- Live stream event to audience members who are remote, while engaging in-person attendees with a well-produced event.
In addition to the AV and producer, we also offer a graphics package and other enhancements like scenic designs and build for backgrounds, shareable PDF of the content discussed, custom landing page, on-demand viewing options, and more.
