Meetings

In-Person
In-Person
Despite the advances in virtual technology, in-person events remain #1 in attendee engagement and results-focused strategy.
Expertly managed in-person meetings and events provide an environment conducive to effective knowledge sharing and exchange and can accelerate business activity beyond any other medium.
Achieving quality outcomes at in-person events comes with experience, requiring a team of experts with a broad range of skill sets working together.

The global pandemic has brought with it a range of new tools for successfully delivering virtual meetings. But in our experience these new tools are not a one size fits all solution.
ICMSA delivered over one dozen virtual meetings between March 2020 and July 2021 utilising a variety of platforms that were best suited to each group. In some instances we adapted a number of virtual conferencing tools to specific parts of the one event.
The largest and most complex was the 43rd Committee on Space Research Scientific Assembly for 2,063.

Hybrid
Hybrid
A combination of in-person and virtual attendance – are anticipated to be the way of the future for meetings.
Like all meetings they require a high level of management for them to be successful, particularly because there are effectively two audiences who are receiving content differently – in the live environment and on their computer screen.
It is therefore imperative that content be presented and delivered in such a way that both forms of attendees are engaged and both possess the opportunity to interact with presenters and their colleagues.
Current discussion is that hybrid meetings have the ability to increase attendance, particularly for those who cannot travel to the live venue, and therefore also grow conference revenue.
This is a reality, however, ICMSA recommends that in achieving this there is the need for additional resources and hard costs, particularly in relation to audio visual requirements to capture and disseminate live presentations.
ICMCA can discuss with you your goals for your hybrid meeting and will provide the best solution to achieve your specific outcomes.
