Virtual Event Strategy and Management
Organizations everywhere are being forced to rethink their in-person events. Transitioning to a live broadcast, be it a Zoom Meeting or Facebook Live, often seems like the obvious solution for our current reality, but that doesn’t always mean it’s the right answer.
Virtual experiences are in our DNA
Forum One has been planning virtual and in-person events since 1996. From organizing the first large scale Health Datapalooza to training the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on event software, we understand how to transform your event into a virtual experience.
We also know that the best virtual events are not just online replicas of in-person events. Virtual events, planned well can increase attendance, sponsor engagement, participant value, and ultimately have a more lasting impact.
Whether you need to rethink your large annual gathering, replace intimate advocacy briefings for important audiences, or anything in between, we have a number of virtual event strategy and management services to help you succeed.
