1Use of Technology by Event Companies to Survive
During Covid-19
2Overview
- For the events industry, 2020 has been an
extremely difficult year, with COVID-19 having
barred any form of exhibition, convention, or
corporate event from taking place since
mid-March. - In mid-July, with the Hotel Booking
Representatives Association HBAA informing at
least 30 of those working in meetings and
conferences lost their jobs by August, the
Association of Event Organizers AEO disclosed
that at least 20 of the retrospective workforce
had already been made terminated. - Fast forward another quarter and the UK is now
fighting a with the COVID-19 epidemic and causing
a national lockdown. Despite promotions such as
WeMakeEvents calling on the Government for the
actions industry to offer additional support, the
question persists as to how the sector will
persist.
3THE NEW NORMAL
Long commutes, extensive travel between meetings,
and the office culture are vague memories, for
millions of businesses, with workers now
functioning at all with the assistance of video
conferencing devices, like Zoom. For many, this
essential workspace has become the new normal
and spills over into both individual and skilled
life as people become progressively more used to
meeting and participating with others online.
4For numerous corporates, with millions of
organizations subsequent suit by retrenchment
office space, dropping overheads, such as
Facebook, Twitter, and Barclays, enduring remote
working policies have already been rolled out,
and capitalizing in climbable infrastructure that
permits staff to work from where and when they
need.
This New Normal has expanded into the corporate
events space.
5BEYOND ZOOM
For several, to listen to speakers, the idea of a
virtual corporate event or conference is mapping
into a video conferencing device like Zoom and
moving between meeting rooms. However, with
extremely little technique of interaction and no
real distinction between that and day-to-day
conferencing calls, pushing many experts to shy
away from the concept and expect for venue doors
to open once again, virtual events via Zoom have
rapidly got a bad rep.
6However, for the current epidemic with no
conclusive end in sight and, therefore, no
stadium date for when occurrences can take place,
to move outside the domains of Zoom, it is time
for businesses, corporates, and events experts
and imitates the actual event experience online.
To generate sophisticated web portals for events,
virtual event management systems that allow you,
for accommodating exhibitions, not only deliver
the opportunity to generate a true virtual event
experience but offer a feasible alternative and
corporate events until we can see on mass, in
person, once again.
7Conclusion
- The use of technology such as zoom meetings
video conferencing is very helpful for event
companies to survive during covid-19. For many,
this essential workspace has become the new
normal and spills over into both individual and
experienced life.
