Speaking at:
Storytelling is fundamental to audience engagement in any event. But, how do you create a compelling overall narrative that will engage online audiences? We will speak about the key steps and considerations in our workflow of producing virtual events and as well as specific factors for different types of events including fundraisers, galas, symposiums, and expert talks. There are many creative ways to make the viewer experience a positive one, while meeting the goals of the client or institution. We will go through the different steps in the process, key personnel, advantages / disadvantages of different technical platforms and the benefits of live vs. pre-recorded. We will discuss production practices and how you can make the visual design, client / institutional messaging and various creative elements feel cohesive. Taking events into the virtual online space will last beyond the initial response to COVID and will be an important component of museum programming moving forward.
