This year, we continued to provide immersive and exciting event experiences for in-person, virtual and hybrid attendees. 2021 has been a year full of innovative technical developments to our platform, a consistently high focus on outstanding client support and fantastic customer feedback.
Event software specialist CrowdComms marked its 10th anniversary at the end of the summer with an exclusive hybrid event celebration with clients, partners and staff. The CrowdComms’ team looked back over the company’s history; where it’s come from – featuring all three founders – to where it’s going and a whole lot more.
One of the best upsides to virtual events is the ability to connect and engage with attendees before, during and after the event. Digital engagement is an opportunity to deliver awesome content to attendees beyond the event duration. This means attendees get a great return on their ticket investment, and event planners can build a strong relationship with attendees.
Run a 3-day event or power a village for a year?
It is no surprise to any of us that the world needs to move towards more positive change in terms of climate emissions and the preservation of our planet. The talks at COP26 highlighted, on a global scale, the complexity of this issue and the call not just for transformation at an industrial level but also at an individual one.
“CrowdComms is the event platform that offers every piece of the pizza and delivers.”
This week, Endless Events published their list of the Top 22 Event Platforms to Use in 2022, a piece of market research that studied over 500 event technologies. The scoring criteria consisted of customer reviews, user experience, native and unique features, price, accessibility enhancements, integrations, and the platforms that offer a seamless end-to-end planning experience.
Over the last few months, we have seen a surge of clients confidently moving towards the hybrid model of event production. With the return of in-person events gradually increasing across the globe, ensuring that there is a virtual element or contingency to most events has been crucial – and will continue to be so.
With the US opening to foreign visitors, only one day before IMEX America was due to begin, a burst of pent-up excitement was elicited from both exhibitors and visitors alike as people made their way through immigration and towards the venue. There was no better way to ‘launch’ ourselves back into the states than by heading to Las Vegas for one of the most well-attended global events in the industry.
While virtual events continue to provide event planners and organisers with a flexible and cost-effective option, 2022 looks set to see a resurgence of in-person attendees through either fully live or hybrid events. The continued return to in-person events is exciting, but keeping attendees and guests COVID-safe remains a priority for event planners and organisers.
Last week closed on a high as our teams returned from various successful events, conferences and presentations.
Whatever your vision for your next virtual, hybrid or in-person event, we can help.
