Virtual events

COVID-19 and it's knock on effects have challenged us to come up with a new way of hosting events and conferences, especially those that typically involve international travel. We know that individuals still want to meet and maintain their connections and networks around the world, academics have research to present and publish, and people still want to hear from experts in their field.

The Event Services team are well aware that a great virtual or hybrid event must be more than just a webinar. With that in mind, engaging attendees online requires rethinking your event format, integrating different production methods, and using new interactive tools. And this all needs to be presented via a streamlined and easy to navigate platform. 

Whether you are planning a fully virtual or hybrid event (with face to face component), the University of Auckland's digital event offering has everything you need to create engaging and positive event experiences for your audience.
