Deep dives
Transitioning Events from In-Person to Online
For work-based events or time-sensitive projects that cannot be postponed, the focus should be on designing effective online interactions. It is important not to replicate mediocre or ineffective offline meetings online. Instead, organizers should identify the best aspects of face-to-face interactions, such as small conversations and breakout sessions, and find ways to recreate them online. Utilizing video conferencing tools with breakout room capability can facilitate small group discussions and maintain engagement. Overcoming the fear of missing out and embracing alternative methods of interaction are key to ensuring successful online events.
