On February 22nd and 23rd, the Virtual Events industry conducted its second annual summit in Santa Clara, CA. Organized by VirtualEdge, it was a great opportunity for vendors, prospects and clients to pause and assess the current and future state of this industry.
The strong showing, the messages, new developments, the brand names and the very active sessions all sent a strong message that virtual events is here to stay as a growing marketing and educational solution.
CGS with its brand offering VirtualEvents365 was one of the platinum sponsors of this event. We participated in multiple keynote sessions and moderated panels. The attendees had tremendous interest in our offering and the market took notice of our key differentiators. In addition, our clients were represented in multiple sessions and openly endorsed CGS VirtualEvents365 as their preferred vendor (example: Intel). The uniqueness of this event was the deployment of the hybrid (simultaneous) concept; most sessions were streamed live so in addition to the physical crowd we had thousands of attendees joining virtually.
This event featured the growing popularity of 365 solutions and self service. While we at CGS, welcome and embrace these changes, we also recognize that self-service is not a model that suits all and actually presents many challenges. We plan to release a detailed document that will guide our prospects and clients.
Overall it was an exciting event and CGS VirtualEvents365 was a big part of the success.
