Built Around Your Event, Your Audience, Your Goals
In recent years, online conferences have gone from being a temporary solution into a powerful and flexible way to connect people, share information and host important meetings. At Talking Slides, we believe no two events should ever be the same. That’s why every online conference we produce is completely tailored to our client’s specific needs, audience and objectives.
From small internal meetings to large-scale national events, our approach is always the same: understand what matters most to the client, then build the right technical and production solution around it.
A great example of this in action was the transformation of a long-established symposium that required an online production. The priority was to maintain the structure, professionalism and member engagement that had always defined the meeting in previous forms.
Creating a Seamless Virtual Conference Experience
Although the format changed from physical to virtual, the importance of the event remained exactly the same. The solution we created focused on making the online experience feel structured, secure and familiar for members.
The meeting was led by truly live chairpersons, helping to maintain the natural flow and authority of a physical meeting. This was interlaced with pre-recorded presentations from proposers and seconders, ensuring consistent quality and removing the risk of technical issues that can sometimes occur with live connections.
This combination of live and pre-recorded content created a smooth, professional production that kept the meeting on schedule and engaging for viewers throughout.
Encouraging Interaction Through Live Q&A
Keeping members involved was essential, so the platform was designed to allow viewers to actively participate rather than simply watch.
Members were invited to submit questions using the integrated Sli.do Q&A function. These questions were visible in real time and answered by a live panel on screen, helping to create a genuine sense of dialogue and connection.
This interactive element helped recreate the feel of a live meeting, ensuring that members still had a voice and could contribute to the discussion, even when attending remotely.
Professional Production, Tailored Branding
Every online conference we produce is fully customised to reflect the client’s organisation and identity.
For this event, the entire stream was fully produced and custom branded, creating a professional and consistent visual experience. From the opening moments to the final session, the production felt polished and purposeful, reinforcing the importance of the meeting.
Behind the scenes, our team managed all technical elements, allowing the organisers to focus on running the symposium itself without worrying about the delivery.
Supporting Different Presentation Styles
One of the biggest advantages of online conferences is flexibility. For this event, we incorporated:
- Pre-recorded presentations for clarity and reliability
- Live chairpersons to guide the meeting
- A live panel to respond to questions
- Interactive Q&A through Sli.do
By blending these elements together, we created a format that worked for both presenters and attendees, while maintaining the structure expected from a formal conference.
On-Demand Access After the Event
Not everyone can attend live, especially when members are spread across different locations. That’s why the entire AGM was made available to watch on-demand afterwards.
This ensured that anyone who missed the live event could still catch up at a time that suited them, extending the reach and long-term value of the meeting.
Built Around What Clients Need
The success of this event highlights what makes Talking Slides different. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we work closely with each client to understand:
- The purpose of the event
- The audience size and location
- The level of interaction required
- Any voting or decision-making processes
- Branding and presentation style
From there, we build a fully tailored solution that supports every aspect of the conference.
A Modern Approach to Important Meetings
From voting and interactive Q&A to pre-recorded content and on-demand access, online conferences now allow organisations to connect with their audiences in a more flexible and inclusive way.
At Talking Slides, our focus is simple: deliver online meetings that work exactly the way our clients need them to, while ensuring a smooth, secure and engaging experience for delegates and presenters alike.
