What do you do when your in-person conference is 25 days away and you find out the entire state is on lockdown due to a global pandemic? You quickly decide to make it virtual, put on your seatbelt, and don't look back.
Join us on the journey of what it took to transform UC's 2020 Spring bi-annual Cyber Security Summit into a fully functional online summit in under four weeks. We'll first walk through what the online summit looked like. Then, we'll present the different elements of planning the event, such as:
- Developing an agenda that engages the audience;
- Coaching the speakers on how to overcome the feeling that they are talking to themselves;
- Making sure the sponsors get value from the virtual format;
- Identifying and building the necessary skills, resources and technologies for the event planning team;
- Overcoming numerous challenges;
- and much more….
After attending our talk, attendees will gain the knowledge of what it takes to plan out their own successful virtual events of all sizes, whether they are conferences, summits, or webinars.
