Virtual Events
Pushing the Limits
Virtual and hybrid events will be with us for some time to come. They are not the easy and quick alternative to live events many once thought they were, but, done properly, they are also not the ‘poor relation’ to face to face events either. Virtual and hybrid events can and should be extraordinary. They are also a hugely valuable tool in your business toolkit.
At mCreat we have always been fascinated by developments in technology and digital capabilities; more specifically, how these developments can be applied to every element of the events we create. We constantly strive to find new and undiscovered ways to make our clients’ events stand out, using cutting edge technology to make the experience slicker and to command (if not demand!) the attention of their delegates.
We understand that the world has dramatically changed over recent times. But being the team we are, we see this as a really exciting opportunity to ‘push the limits’ on helping you redefine your event programme and smash your business goals.
Virtual, Hybrid and 4D Events Designed Around You
You may know exactly what format you want for your event. You may just know what you want to achieve but not necessarily how best to do it. We are here to support you achieve your goals.
mCreat plan, create and deliver all formats of virtual events, including:
- Virtual – when you need a simple, yet slick and seamless virtual gathering of your team, clients, suppliers or the general public
- Hybrid – allowing you to combine elements of face-to-face events with virtual events, so delegates have the option of being there in person or joining remotely
- 4D – combining all of the very best in virtual event technology with real-life traditional event tools, for that extra special and more immersive event experience. For example, a fully virtual programme of content, complemented with tangible real-life items such as mouth-watering catering, essential event gadgets, contents or tools, barista quality coffee and luxurious ‘thank you’ gifts delivered directly to your delegates’ location.
Whichever virtual format you prefer, we believe you can deliver your best-ever programme of events.
One-Click Virtual Venues – Bespoke and Fully Branded
We have been working tirelessly, looking for ways to make virtual events as captivating as their live equivalents and ensuring they have the same brand impact. With mCreat’s new one-click virtual venues, we create bespoke, fully branded, 2D or 3D virtual landing pages, through which you can host your whole event from end to end.
You can choose whichever location you would most like to welcome and greet your guests on arrival, designed and branded to your specifications. We then build links to all your favourite, specialist platforms (e.g. networking, meeting, conference etc) into the venue graphics. With a simple click, delegates can move from the welcome area to join a conference session, networking event, break-out discussion or 1-2-1 meeting. You can select as many of your favourite event platforms as you wish, to deliver the most seamless, professional event experience. Your delegates get a single link to access and enjoy the whole thing.
In terms of the venue itself, the sky is the limit! You could choose a traditional event venue, such as an Exhibition Hall, or go wild and create something completely spell-binding – a rooftop bar, a mountain panorama or a tropical beach bar. For an extra ‘wow’ we can make it 3D, at an affordable price. Whether 2D or 3D, the end results are vastly more visually impressive than standard virtual platforms, far simpler and much more engaging for delegates.
Broadcast Quality
Some virtual events have really struggled to match up to the impact of Iive events. However, mCreat are acutely aware that so many of our clients still need to create that same, awe-inspring connection with clients, employees, shareholders etc.
So we are working alongside our AV, Tech and Content gurus to help clients deliver broadcast quality virtual events, using professional video and graphic content, sophisticated webcasting software and robust and secure servers. We can integrate interactive features during live webcasts, such as Q&A’s, live voting & polling and individual breakout rooms. We are also using professional film techniques to capture any pre-recorded content from speakers anywhere in the world.
We believe you should be free to host your guests and network, not fix tech glitches, coach everyone on their mic and video controls, work out how to create and share incredible video content or switch camera angles. Every client needs a team behind the scenes leaving you free to concentrate on the most important people – your guests.
Digital Technology Solutions
For all of our events, be they virtual, hybrid or face to face, we always strive to find opportunities to integrate technology solutions to transform the event experience, leave your delegates delighted and to drive up that all-important event engagement. We can develop bespoke solutions for your event or work with your own in-house technology to deliver a slick, professional and inspiring event experience.
Whether you are holding a live, 4D, virtual or hybrid event, mCreat can help you ‘push the limits’ with exceptional innovation and technical solution to make your event stand out. Examples include:
More than just a video conference:
- More than just VC. We can help you make your virtual event stand out from the standard online VC platforms, which so many of us spend so much time on each day. Using webcast technology, we can introduce live polling, virtual chats, Q&A with speakers, keynote presentations with behind the scenes crew managing for a broadcast quality finish as good as if you were holding a live event
- Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality event technology. Taking your Keynote Speakers, selected content and event entertainment off the small screen and setting them free in a manner which will truly captivate your audience
- Gaming tech and event-based gamification. Engendering a whole new level of delegate engagement, two-way participation and even event data collection
- Creative Content (story-telling and entertainment). We can support you compose and create spellbinding video and static content for your event – absolutely maximising the impact and delivery of your key message
- Networking and engagement platforms and plugins. When one of your main event goals is to provide people with the opportunity to meet and network, we can help you achieve this in the virtual world with cutting edge plug-ins and online platforms
- Live Streaming and On-Demand platforms. Making your event 100% location and time flexible. No matter where your speakers, content or delegates may be, we can help you stream live to your event audience. For those who may not be available to join you at a specific time, we can help you upload ‘On Demand’ content to watch when they are free, increasing your potential reach
- Collaborative Event Platforms, allowing for plenary sessions, breakout sessions and private meetings all to take place in the virtual space, as they would have in real life
- Remote Studio Facilities, such as webcast studio, virtual green room or remote broadcasting, for a more professional finish
- 3D modelling helping you visualise, plan and design your event graphics and virtual exhibition spaces
- Personalised ‘Delegate Experience In A Box’ delivered directly to your delegates’ locations – elevating your virtual event from the 3D world, to the 4D, using tangible items to create an experiential, sensory and real-life human connection for all attendees. Tried and tested event tools such as branded gifts / items, catering, delivered to the delegates’ doors along with any gadgetry you decide to use, such as VR headsets. The sky is literally the limit.
Enhance your face to face event:
- Bespoke registration systems. Fully personalised for your business, brand and each individual delegate. From point of delegate invitation, through to on-the-day logistics and content provision as well as post event communications.
- Tailored event Apps and Websites which you can use as a delegate portal to unify their end to end event experience. Use them for registration, event programmes, individual delegate schedules, speaker bios, presentation content and much more. For virtual events we can create a portal as a ‘Reception’ area, where we greet your guests, a place they can come back to ask questions and use to navigate to their next sessions.
- Digital signage and agenda provision for fully paperless events
- Smart onsite technologies (registration, voting systems, delegate preference tracking etc)
- ‘Meeting in a Box’ solutions, providing all of the tools required for onsite meetings in a simple kit
