USE CASE HIGHLIGHT

MEGAComm recently hosted their annual multi-day conference on the Accelevents platform, in Jerusalem, Israel for hi-tech professionals. The event is typically held in person and features international speakers and attendees.

The Challenge: Finding An all-in-one Event Management Solution For Hosting The MEGAComm Multi-Day Conference

Directly following MEGAComm 2020, event organizers knew that a 2021 in-person event may be unlikely due to ongoing pandemic restrictions. Motivated to continue their annual event for its 15th anniversary, conference organizers searched for an event management solution that could meet the following requirements:

  • An all-in-one event management platform where everything from ticketing to live streaming to networking could take place
  • Customization in several areas throughout the event
  • Intuitive for attendees to navigate and seamless for event organizers to set up
  • Several opportunities for attendee engagement
  • Reliable customer support on the days leading up to and during the conference

The conference featured over 30 speaker sessions ranging from “Soft Skills that Define a Successful Tech Writer” to “The Evolution of Smarter Content.

Lounges allowed attendees to drop in and out at their leisure, truly mimicking those casual, impromptu conversations at an in-person event. The conference encouraged group networking with a total of 9 themed lounges where attendees could choose their preferred networking topic such as Storytelling, UI/UX, or Working From Home. Lounges were also created for attendees to continue session discussions and post upcoming job opportunities.
