Woah, zoom, I'd like to fly far away from here
Ok, so right now flying anywhere is a bit of a push and unless you’re a fan of The Commodores, the title to this post could be lost on you! Stick with us, all will be revealed.
The banning of gatherings of any sort has left the live events industry in pieces… for now. It will come back bigger and better because nothing beats actual, physical social interaction.
Unlike some of our fellow event tech software providers, we’re not pivoting to become a virtual events platform. However, we do recognise that any event going on at the moment will be up there in the ether so it’s important we cater for that.
The most popular platform of choice to hold virtual events on is Zoom. They’ve had their issues, but the imminent release of Zoom 5.0 looks to have eradicated those and help to restore users’ faith in them.
Zoom is great at what it does, but the built-in event promotion, registration and communications can look a bit basic. It’s a competitive market out there with so many virtual events going on, so yours need to stand out and get noticed.
Duplication of tasks is frustrating, time-consuming and can lead to errors.
The old, slower way was to set up your event in Zoom and then duplicate the task by setting it up in Mitingu.
The new, faster way is to create your event in Mitingu which simultaneously creates the event in Zoom.
The next issue was managing two sets of attendees, one in Mitingu and one in Zoom. What if someone cancelled or changed their registration details?
All registrations from Mitingu will now sync across to Zoom. If someone cancels their registration, they’ll automatically be removed from Zoom. If a registration is updated it will also update in Zoom.
Getting noticed is one thing, giving them a reason to attend and collecting the right information about your attendees are another. An event site complimented with scheduled, personalised emails helps promote your event, give and get the right information and keeps it fresh in the minds of your attendees.
Make the right first and lasting impression, save yourself a bundle of time and give your clients yet another reason why they love to work with you.
