SAMSON AG virtual company meeting

Christmas parties, company meetings, shareholder meetings or customer events and the like are coming up, but at the same time politics urges prudence and contact restrictions. You may be wondering how best to design your event? Purely digital, or hybrid (mix of presence and digital)? And how you are supposed to manage the implementation so quickly? We would be happy to advise you on this very topic. We have already successfully accompanied several such events. For example, we streamed the company meeting of SAMSON AG. In cooperation with the company Kyritz Showtechnik GmbH, which took care of the organization, direction and technology on site, this was a great success. We are happy for SAMSON that the company meeting could take place “virtually”. We used Cisco Webex Event as a platform and about 650 people from field offices and home offices were able to experience the event.

Your advantages with virtual events

Although the event industry has experienced rather forced digitization in the last 18 months, digital events undeniably offer some advantages:

Cost: They are generally cost-saving – to be sure, additional technology costs are incurred. However, a number of classic event costs are also saved, e.g. for travel, accommodation, catering, stand rental, exhibition stand construction, etc. The travel costs of speakers or visitors are also reduced. Also the travel expenses of the speakers or the costs for additional stand personnel can be saved.
Reach: You can offer your event to a broader target group – the spatial proximity to the event no longer plays a role. In this respect: More tickets = more sales.
Total number of participants: Depending on the possible system utilization, you can also expand your audience as you wish, depending on interest
Evaluation:The evaluation is easier and more diverse possible in comparison to presence events
Lower hurdle: The lack of travel and lower costs lowers the hurdle for participants
Availability of content: If the content is recorded, the content can be reused and made available to participants afterwards

What is missing – and of course this cannot be argued away – is the haptic and olfactory, personal experience! The opportunities for interaction are fewer at purely virtual events. In the case of a hybrid event, the interaction between the event and the audience is usually even greater than in the case of purely face-to-face events.

Hybrid events are therefore more time-consuming to prepare than purely online events. Especially if you want to make the event equally exciting and interactive for all participants. Both on-site and on-screen participants should be able to actively contribute to a successful event.

Your advantages with hybrid events

In addition to the above advantages of virtual events, hybrid events offer flexibility for participants. Hybrid events offer all interested parties two options: to be physically present on site or to participate virtually.
