Four ways event organisers can BreakTheBias
Is your event doing enough to address gender bias?
Let’s get you connecting
Technology has been excellent for helping businesses to keep going during the pandemic, lockdowns and travel restrictions. But we can all agree that sometimes, there’s just no substitute for meeting face-to-face. Events can significantly impact your internal operations, for example, team building, strategy sessions, and celebrations. They can also play a major role in your organisational success through targeted event marketing.
Returning to Face-to-Face Events
Across the world, thanks to the incredible efforts of scientists and healthcare workers, vaccination rates against COVID-19 are increasing. The acceleration of the vaccine rollout has been nothing short of remarkable, and we recognise the hard work of the healthcare sector in making this happen. As a result, many businesses and organisations are looking to bring face-to-face events back into their programming. Why is that when we’ve also discovered that virtual event technology can help us do amazing things?
Adaptable hybrid event formats
Did you know hybrid event formats can adapt for a range of businesses and event styles?
Lights Cameras Sound-Check Action
Creating a complete experience for event participants is so important. The venue, food, speakers – it all blends together. And, of course, there’s the audio-visual component.
We’ve all been at events where the audio just isn’t working. Situations like when people at the back of the room can’t hear the speaker. Or where the microphones are suffering from interference. The list of potential issues is long.
Beyond the paper based exam
If the past years have taught us anything, it is to be flexible in the face of a rapidly changing environment. That’s why online examinations have become a popular option for ensuring continuity and providing certainty for both candidates and your organisation. For many organisations, centralised exams remain the preferred option. Shifting to computer-based exams rather than physical paper-based exams provides an alternative and enables online examination options. This flexibility is especially attractive to training organisations that need to consider the needs of remote students and those with physical accessibility needs – and, of course, the uncertainty that is part of life in a pandemic.
Data Driven Hybrid Events
Shifting the conversation from sign-ups to engagement
Why Hybrid Events?
Hybrid events are fast evolving to be a staple mode of event delivery in an increasingly globalised, digitalised and let’s face it… uncertain world. But what exactly are they, and what are the benefits over traditional face-to-face or purely digitally run events?
Minimise risk flexible workplace
The spread of COVID-19 has shown the world how quickly normality can be upended. Almost overnight, businesses were forced to shift their work forces to an online work from home model, with only tiny numbers of staff (if any at all) permitted in the office at a given time.
Despite COVID-19 cases declining in some regions and restrictions gradually easing, the world has no guarantee that a successful vaccine will be developed ever, let alone anytime soon. So, if social distancing is here to stay for the foreseeable future, how will this shape workplaces and the way we work?
Negotiate Commercial Lease
For businesses, forced shutdowns due to coronavirus have caused a drastic decline in, or in some cases, complete elimination of revenue. And for many, the squeeze created by outgoing costs like commercial rent creates a pressure that is simply unsustainable. Knowing how to navigate a conversation with your landlord to negotiate your rent is therefore essential to make the process of securing a lifeline quicker and less painful.
We asked the Cliftons Property Team to share their wisdom with businesses commencing commercial lease negotiations. With expertise in managing commercial tenancies across multiple jurisdictions, read their top tips for manoeuvring through the process.
