Looking for support at your upcoming exhibit? 
When unexpected challenges threaten to disrupt meetings and travel plans, having a specialized team that enables you to keep event objectives on track is mission critical.
Virtual events can connect your presenters and attendees online from nearly anywhere in the world. But when most people think of virtual events, they think of it from the attendees’ point of view – where elements of an event are available online for live viewing to those who are unable to participate in person.
It’s a whole different ballgame, however, when presenters are unable to appear at events. Planners spend countless hours securing speakers, agendas, and content for their meetings. So, having an experienced digital solutions partner that can help you connect presenters to attendees, both at the host site and around the globe, is key to keeping your event on track.
Here’s a real-life example. When the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland erupted, it ejected a massive volume of ash into the atmosphere that directly impacted air travel and passengers. The worldwide impact included:
- 20+ countries affected
- 6 days of disrupted air traffic
- 100,000 flight cancellations
- 10 million passengers affected
With participants and presenters unable to fly to their conferences and meetings, a solution was necessary to ensure impacted meeting planners, who tirelessly designed their events, could carry on without losing presenters or participants.
The PSAV Virtual Events team was able to assist numerous clients by leveraging different video conference and streaming solutions. With our assistance, key presenters who had been unable to attend their events in person were able to connect, present, and interact with attendees. Once afflicted by travel disruptions, attendees were now able to see the presentations through a virtual attendee experience.
From video conferencing and webcasting to live streaming and simultaneous interpretation, PSAV has solutions that can extend the reach of your event. Be it by design or due to unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances, our team can bridge the gap between presenters and participants.
While the volcano example had a broad scale impact, other smaller and personal circumstances can also impact the ability for some to attend events in person. Don’t wait until the last minute to come up with a backup plan. Reach out to our Virtual Events team and find out more about our new package offerings here.
