Ever since *THAT* iconic Ken Robinson RSA Animate series exploded into the world, squeaky whiteboards have become synonymous with online storytelling and communication.
Humans love stories. We absorb information so much more readily when there’s a story around it, and even better if that story has PICTURES.
New ideas for online events
Let me condense your conference, make it interesting, keep people engaged aaand make sure they remember all that value you are delivering.
Online events are supposed to be exciting, fresh and fun.
As an online event organiser, it is your duty to make sure the event makes an impact, keeps your attendees engaged, and is interesting.
No more death-by-Zoom-fatigue, ok?
OK.
Create a lasting legacy for virtual conferences
What happens after the event?
Don’t let all that goodness go to waste. All those key takeaways, the nuggets of knowledge-gold. Immortalise them in illustration / timelapse video format and keep your virtual event alive.
Circulating an illustration afterwards will make sure your attendees are reminded of all the important stuff they’ve learned, and might even spark some new ideas! It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Don’t let your online event die in the cloud-storage graveyard.
