At Storycatchers we are fans of Hopin, an all-in-one digital event platform developed from the participant’s point of view. And we think that’s a good starting point.
Building a stable, versatile and yet intuitive platform for virtual and hybrid events is not easy. But at Hopin they have succeeded.
Hopin has a lot to offer as a virtual event platform.
Most events, both virtual and physical, are built around one or more plenary sessions. For those parts, Hopin has provided a real stage, by analogy with physical events.
So this part is most similar to how classic webinar software works: you show a live stream to your participants on which they can ask questions, chat with each other or answer polls.
Of course, during an event there are topics that are less suitable for a plenary session. Or you may want to give several sessions at the same time. For such moments you can use the session functionality within Hopin.
In the sessions, up to 20 people can simultaneously share their camera and sound and engage in conversation. You can also choose to keep it a little simpler and have your presenter give a presentation.
The biggest lack in virtual events is undoubtedly the networking moment where you get to know new people or bump into old acquaintances.
Hopin has a built-in networking feature where you can meet other participants via video chat. Met someone interesting? Then simply exchange contact information so you can stay in touch after the event.
An event, whether physical, hybrid or fully digital, is not something you organise alone. Sponsors and partners are happy to help you organize, but in return they want some visibility.
Thanks to the virtual expo, you can let each partner or sponsor man a virtual exhibition stand.In such a stand a video can be shown, a presentation can be given or you can give more information to interested parties via video chat.
Hopin contains many more features, including
When organizing an event, your organization does not want to deal with the technical aspect.That is why Storycatchers does all the configuration and makes sure that your event is set up exactly the way you want it. That way, you as an organization can focus on what’s really important: the content of the event.
