Invitado one and a half meter event

Invitations and registration

Invitees who registered via a personal invitation email only had to confirm their participation in the simple registration form. Interested parties who registered as a result of the posts on our social media used the same registration form, but were placed on a waiting list after their registration. The day before the session, all participants received an email with their personal link to the online event.

Technical check and support

A technical check was performed automatically before the start of the session. For example, the compatibility of a participant’s browser was checked and each participant went through the image and sound settings of his or her device. For technical questions, a help desk staffed by Invitado specialists was available.

Chatting

During the session, a group chat was available and participants from the list could also chat 1-on-1 with each other. Notifications alerted participants to new messages. Questions asked in the group chat were answered by Invitado employees, but the most upvoted or relevant questions were also addressed in the broadcast.

After the event, we launched the Chat Carousel, and not for the first time successfully. "This is really fun!" said a participant enthusiastically in a video chat with one of our colleagues. And we hear that response so often that the Chat Carousel is in our opinion an indispensable part of every online event hosted via Transmisión. The system provides random video chat connections between the participants, resulting in surprising online encounters. A chat in the Chat Carousel has a limited length (for this event we set it to 2 minutes). When the time is up, the next connection is automatically established. Recommended!

Streams

Via Transmisión Livestreams, streams directed by AV parties and pre-recorded movieclips can be broadcast. However, for this session we used the webcam and microphone of a simple laptop. Extremely effective and a good choice if you have a limited budget. Participants who indicated that they would like to contribute could also broadcast live via their own webcam.

Interaction

The participants were able to contribute anonymously via polls. This increased the interactivity of the session. The results were immediately visible to everyone and were also discussed in the broadcast by the speakers. We enlivened the topic 'Medical questions (triage)' via the poll function with a short quiz. By answering the multiple choice questions, the participants were able to participate during the broadcast. The Q&A option was regularly used for the questions that lived among the participants. Our moderator made interesting questions visible and answered them. The questions that were given a like by many participants were also discussed in the broadcast.
