š With my glass half full, I do believe online event platforms have and will continue to have a positive impact on the events industry. The ability to now showcase events where geography might have been a limiting factor means good ideas get heard by more people.
Hybrid events will become the norm. These new web apps are enabling companies and event professionals to take the best elements of in-person events and bring them online without losing the experiential and interactive aspects that make events so memorable.
The challenge will be to streamline the event technology processes to find the best hybrid model. I guess only time will tell...
š A very interesting insight into why Hopin was started.
āThe lack of online events, I realized, wasnāt about a lack of content or a lack of appetite. The reason they barely existed was that there wasnāt a good platform people could use to build them. Put another way, we had the virtual content and the virtual crowds, but didnāt have a virtual venue. And you canāt have a convention if you donāt have a convention center.ā - Johnny Boufarhat, Founder and CEO, Hopin.
š Here's how to prepare for unavoidable queuing at events.
šļø Live sports post Covidā¦
After 9/11, the world changed, and we have different behaviour patterns now. You check for weapons when you walk into any venue. Now youāll be checking for a different kind of weapon, a virus. Our arena was already instrumented with sensorsānow thereāll be temperature sensors, as well.
