“ The secret to getting a virtual event to work properly is to make sure that everyone feels part of the event . This means treating it as you would a live event , injecting the event with the client ’ s brand & values and utilising the latest technology to communicate the content in the most creative and engaging manner .
On demand is a real benefit of digital , it allows the event to have a longer shelf life , and it should be treated with the same care and attention as the actual virtual event . Don ’ t skimp on this element , treat it as your shop window .” Dave Harding-Lyle , Showcase , Strategic Account Director
How did Showcase provide the post-show analytics ? They employed their own software EVENTalytics , it tracks attendees movement whilst on the event , tracking what people have watched and for how long , as well as giving vital information about the delegates themselves such as geographical location and job role . EVENTalytics then gave the LGA analytics of the data , presented in easy to adsorb reports , top level graphs and tables rather than lines and lines of raw data .
