  • Finding the Sweet Spot: Balancing emotion, engagement, & tech for successful events (with Clare Forestier)
    Mar 19 2024

    You can’t expect your event participants to be engaged if you don’t bake the right triggers and tools within your planning and agenda.

    Most event professionals spend a lot of time:

    ⏱️ deciding on relevant topics
    ⏱️ securing sponsors
    ⏱️ landing hotshot speakers
    ⏱️ booking the venue
    ⏱️ organzing F&B, AV, etc.

    However, when it comes to engagement strategy, things fall through the cracks.

    In the best-case scenario, they end up sticking up some Slido questions and calling it a day.

    But the harsh truth is that’s as good as relying on luck.

    Inspiring real engagement requires a well-thought-out strategy and the right tools to execute it.

    That's why for this episode, Bogdan Maran and Merijn van Buuren invited Clare Forestier to talk about:

    💡 Designing Interactive and Inclusive Agendas
    💡 The Role of Technology in Event Engagement
    💡 Simplifying Technology for your attendees

    And much more!

  • Hybrid Harmony: Blending AV Tech for Mixed-Format Events (with Brian Monahan)
    Mar 12 2024

    If you want a better event experience for your attendees in 2024, you can’t get away with only in-person events.

    Why?

    Without the right mix of formats, you won’t be able to:

    ❌ Meet the new expectations of your attendees
    ❌ Collect more actionable data points
    ❌ Improve your cost efficiency
    ❌ Become more sustainable
    ❌ Reach a wider audience
    ❌ Have more flexibility
    ❌ Be more inclusive

    Once you nail your event formats, there comes the crucial piece of the puzzle:

    Production.

    You need to have the right AV partners and internal knowledge to properly execute those formats.

    That’s why Bogdan Maran and I invited Brian Monahan, the expert on AV technology and its application across multiple event formats.

    In this episode, Brian is sharing his insights on:

    💡 The best practices for mastering your Live Events
    💡 Engagement techniques for your Virtual Events
    💡 Actionable Case Studies on Hybrid events
    💡 Future-proofing your events with AV
    💡 And more
