vFairs Virtual Environment

Background

In 2020, the High 5 Team successfully implemented a virtual solution to take an annual education congress for HCPs online for the first time to enable our client to continue providing important and up-to-date research and product information to their customers. Our delighted client returned for 2021 seeking bigger and better!

Challenges

Delivery two separate speaker programmes (adult & paediatric) under a common theme allowing the audience to focus on their own stream or swap between streams where topics appealed
Make it more visual and interactive
Co-ordinate pre-record sessions with 50+ industry experts around their busy work schedules and over the summer holiday period.
Integrate live moderated virtual Q&A sessions with pre-recorded presentations
Create engaging, branded exhibition booths to provide downloadable content and live chat and networking opportunities to the delegates

Delivery

We selected vFairs to provide a brandable and interactive platform which would be accessible across most HCP/NHS IT systems
9 seminars in 2020 became 36 sessions with 51 different speakers
Sessions were delivered as live and timed to enable viewing over lunchtime and early evening periods with all the talks combined with their Q&A session available to view On Demand within 2hrs
12 heavily branded exhibition booths were created full of useful and practical downloadable content. Booth reps were available for live chat sessions, video chat or they could take enquiries off-line and respond via email or organise subsequent F2F meetings
A hybrid element was added with a live entertainment evening delivered F2F for key customers and the client team and broadcast live via vFairs to the online audience

Outcome

Registrations topped 2000
There were almost 3000 views of the 36 sessions which will remain available online for repeat viewing
Booth Chat seemed endless with over 5000 separate visits delighting the client and testing the speed typing skills of the Booth Reps!

"Just wanted to extend my thanks for the impeccable organisation regarding the virtual conference. The virtual platform was fantastic!"

"I miss the face-2-face interaction but this version with the booths to interact has been brilliant."

"I just wanted to thank you for supporting my session - was great to work with you all!"

"Thank you so much for everything that you did with the event, including getting the content recorded and liaising with speakers. It was so helpful for me. It was an incredibly successful event."

"Just to say I am really enjoying the virtual conference… it's often difficult to get time away to attend these things and to being able to dip in and out whilst still working is great!"

Virtual Standalone Education

“I loved the virtual aspect of this event. If it difficult to get study leave but blocking out an hour of your diary each day is manageable”

Virtual Cook-Along

Adding a bit of fun to a virtual conference for one of our Pharma clients. No one was hungry! A tasty evening and much fun. Something very different from the usual on-line Zoom call.

Virtual Team Fun

At the end of a tough year many of our clients were looking for ways to bring teams together, recognise the efforts in coping with Covid-19 and say thank you, with a fun, festive but virtual event.

vFairs Virtual Environment

Developing from last year's successful virtual education series, 9 seminars became 36 sessions with 51 different speakers delivered as live along with 12 heavily branded exhibition booths which boosted interactions and tested the speed typing skills of the Booth Reps!
