The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed us into the virtual meeting space thus steering the flow towards founding and using a new breed of locally-made apps to organize events and captivate the attention of the attendees.

Now, with the need for practicing social distancing topping the priority charts, technology functions as the event industry’s lifeline during the pandemic, and will likely continue to be a mainstay in the event management paradigm in the post-pandemic world as well.

Using cloud-hosted live-streaming and broadcasting solutions tailored for each event, the setting of a physical event has been shifted to a virtual venue. In this way, organizers can use the right combination of technologies to execute virtual events while reaching out to a wider attendee-base that they would have in a traditional physical setting.
