  • You canโ€™t expect your event participants to be engaged if you donโ€™t bake the right triggers and tools within your planning and agenda.

    Most event professionals spend a lot of time:

    โฑ๏ธ deciding on relevant topics
    โฑ๏ธ securing sponsors
    โฑ๏ธ landing hotshot speakers
    โฑ๏ธ booking the venue
    โฑ๏ธ organzing F&B, AV, etc.

    However, when it comes to engagement strategy, things fall through the cracks.

    In the best-case scenario, they end up sticking up some Slido questions and calling it a day.

    But the harsh truth is thatโ€™s as good as relying on luck.

    Inspiring real engagement requires a well-thought-out strategy and the right tools to execute it.

    That's why for this episode, Bogdan Maran and Merijn van Buuren invited Clare Forestier to talk about:

    ๐Ÿ’ก Designing Interactive and Inclusive Agendas
    ๐Ÿ’ก The Role of Technology in Event Engagement
    ๐Ÿ’ก Simplifying Technology for your attendees

    And much more!

  • If you want a better event experience for your attendees in 2024, you canโ€™t get away with only in-person events.

    Why?

    Without the right mix of formats, you wonโ€™t be able to:

    โŒ Meet the new expectations of your attendees
    โŒ Collect more actionable data points
    โŒ Improve your cost efficiency
    โŒ Become more sustainable
    โŒ Reach a wider audience
    โŒ Have more flexibility
    โŒ Be more inclusive

    Once you nail your event formats, there comes the crucial piece of the puzzle:

    Production.

    You need to have the right AV partners and internal knowledge to properly execute those formats.

    Thatโ€™s why Bogdan Maran and I invited Brian Monahan, the expert on AV technology and its application across multiple event formats.

    In this episode, Brian is sharing his insights on:

    ๐Ÿ’ก The best practices for mastering your Live Events
    ๐Ÿ’ก Engagement techniques for your Virtual Events
    ๐Ÿ’ก Actionable Case Studies on Hybrid events
    ๐Ÿ’ก Future-proofing your events with AV
    ๐Ÿ’ก And more

    Sit back and relax as we're about to embark on a journey to Hybrid Harmony!
