Create Inspiring and Engaging Online Events
We design and facilitate engaging and interactive online events. We create an atmosphere in which participants feel guided and can relax into participating and discussing their best ideas.
“I did not think that a virtual bar could work in any way. But then it was so much fun to hang out and chat with colleagues. I understood that what really mattered most were these moments of connection.”
We have experiences in designing and facilitating a wide range of events: Project workshops, creative workshops, team development retreats, leadership conferences and large-scale online events.
Creating and deepening social connections is essential
The biggest challenge when facilitating virtual events is to get and keep the attention and focus of all participants.
Online, whenever someone does not feel safe or heard, or does not feel that their input is needed, they can simply leave – either mentally or even quite literally by terminating the online connection. Collaboration then simply does not take place.
This is why creating and deepening social connection is one of the most important elements of online event design and facilitation.
Making sure all participants can participate to their best ability
We structure event processes in such a way that there are different ways of engaging with a question or topic to create the best ideas and the most impactful group results. It also ensures that all participants can contribute to their best ability.
Flexibility to combine different formats into one process
One of the big potentials of virtual work is the flexibility to combine different formats and involve different stakeholders in the same process.
Finally, defining the right toolstack
Online communication is tool-based, but not all tools work well for every purpose. Finding the right set of tools is a balancing act between utility to reach the event goals and to create connection between participants, and the tool competencies of participants and their connectivity.
What does a successul online event look like?
- We have created a relaxed and stress-free atmosphere.
- Participants contribute actively, there is lively communication during and between sessions.
- Participants have clarity about what is expected from them, that they feel heard and seen, and understand how their participation contributes to the overall goal of the event.
- Participants experience the potential of virtual collaboration and learn new forms of collaborating with each other.
- Participants have fun but also experience efficiency.
- We use modern online tools, which are easy to use and do not stand in the way of achieving the conference goals.
- The conference combines realtime and asynchronous phases and elements.
- There is great documentation, beautiful inputs, and a clear structure that is easy to follow.
